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.

(bottle) Clear and dark reddish brown colour with a big but diminishing foamy tanned head. Dense sweet and slightly toastmalty nose with dried fruits and a touch of coffee. Sweet flavour, medium body and soft carbonation. Sweet malty taste with raisins and a sugary sweet malty finish with a light bitterness. Decent and overrated Bock.

Bottle: Dark ruby to dark amber coloured, brownish mid-sized head; sweetish fruity (raisins, molasses) and malty (grainy, roasted) nose with a touch of hops; sweet malty taste, medium bodied, slightly fruity-malty finish with a quite weak touch of bitterness. Not really bad, but boring !

Deep dark brown with ruby shine; creamy, dense yellow-brown head. Creamy nose, bit of almonds, (sweet) chocolate, slightly perfumed, sugarsyrup. Bit empty, mainly sweet taste. Some dark malts, mor sugar. Sweet fruity, fleeting soursich impression, but watery. Fizzy MF, lemonade-like, thinnish and empty but syrupy. Cheap adjunct Bock. Hertog jan Arcense was once the first of Dutch microbrewers to start brewing decent beer. InBev professionaly ruined it. Chapeau.

2002: More caramelly instead of roasted malts, which IMO is tastier. At least this bock offers more than just malts... 2001: Less sweet than Grolsch Herfstbock, this beer is also easy to drink. Pretty clear dark color. Good palate, the taste doesnt differ from it's original flavor. 4
