With the arrival of bock beer, the brewers mark the start of autumn. In the old days this was the first beer that was made after the summer with the fresh harvest of malt and hop. Hertog Jan was the first in The Netherlands who brewed Bockbier top-fermenting. This way, the flavor of the beer comes to its own better. Hertog Jan Bockbier has a pronounced full and creamy flavor, in which a slight whisp of caramel can be found.

Aroma of dark fruit, caramel, brown sugar. Flavour is sugary sweetness. It’s enjoyable enough, but too sweet and I’ve had much better dunkler bocks.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, consumed a year in date. Pours a clear reddish-brown with small beige head, good lacing. Deep malty aroma with notes of roast, nuts, berries, bread. Quite sweet, rich, malty and caramel noted with a fruity tang. Medium bodied, slightly aggressive carbonation. Decent.

300ml bottle. Clear, chestnut colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly nutty, dark malty aroma, hints of malt lozenge, some praline. Taste is sweet-ish dark malty, minimally nutty, notes of malt lozenge, a touch of rock sugar, praline. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly malty and balanced - not bad.
