Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, brown sugar, caramel, raisins, nuts, herbal notes. Flavour is quite sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Body is medium. Not my kind of Bock, way too sweet.

330ml bottle. Hazy, brown-ish, amber colour with small, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, caramel malty and fruity-spicy yeasty aroma, a touch of cocoa, whiffs of ammonia. Taste is watery and bitter alcoholic, a diluted touch of caramel and cocoa; bitter, alcoholic finish. Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Way too boozy for 7.5% abv, more weird Brown Ale than Bock - abstruse.

It’s Bock beer season in Holland, so time to honour the yearly tradition and taste a few of them – thanks Craftmember for sharing this one. Thin yellowish beige, bubbly, quickly opening and dissipating head on a misty ‘dirty orange’-tinged amber beer with vague pale brownish tinge. Aroma of hard caramel, thyme, dried fig, some ‘band aid’-like phenols, old bread, dried apricot, pear, medlar, nutmeg, herb tea. Sweetish onset, cleanly fruity, hinting at peach, apricot and red apple, softishly carbonated, smooth and bit glueish, but also somewhat thinnish body. Caramelly, slightly honeyish and thinly brown-bready malts with a very light toasty-bitterish accent but also something annoyingly grainy; herbal and outspokenly phenolic finish, even band aid-like, with a herbal, tea-ish hop bitter note underneath. Undercarbonated, bit thin in the malt department and overly phenolic for the style, this is far from the best traditional Dutch ‘herfstbok’ I had to date, nor the best Naeckte brew either. Drinkable alright, but not entirely flawless – a pity.

Het is weer bokbiertijd! Tradities! :-P

Thuis uit een flesje, bezoek H&I. Donkerbruine kleur, in de smaak veel suiker, zou wat bitterder mogen.
