Bottle. Almost clear darkish brown with a good inch of pale beige head. Aroma of rustic bread, some chocolate and spices, hints of medicinal dressings. Much dryer than expected but solidly malty with good presence and tidy spiced bitterness. Bit of character. Pretty good.

Huge cream-tan head over almost bright orange-brown beer; rings of lace. Liquorice, sweet brown bread, autumn leaves, cardboard and faint gingerbread aromas. Dry-ish, with again sweet brown bread and autumn leaves. Chocolate- and other sweat if coloured malts. Finish, dry, sports a little vegetable bitterness. Chewy, at least medium bodied, good carbonation. Not bad. Convincing enough for a dark Bock. New one from Leroy, too bad they closed the real Watou brewery. Txs to Stef!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Leafs, brown malts, caramel, tobacco, rye bread, nutty touch, hint of roast. Mild to medium sweet, light bitter. Medium bitter. Nice robust malty profile.
