0.33 l bottle from AH (Sittard), best before September 2018. Clear, very dark reddish brown with a medium large, dense, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of caramel, chocolate and nuts. Rather sweet, malty, slightly roasty taste of chocolate, caramel, nuts and some coffee, followed by a short moderately roasty-bitter, slightly dry finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

The new embodiment of this Dutch, bottom-fermented and therefore more or less German-inspired Doppelbock, with different bottle, different label and even slightly different name (spelled Bock instead of Bok now). Thick, ’papery’ lacing, pale greyish beige head, densely structured and stable, over a clear deep burgundy coloured beer with wine red hue. Aroma of caramelized brown sugar, butterscotch, coffee powder, roasted hazelnuts, dried banana, strong ’haemoglobin’ iron, hints of nutmeg, parsley, toasted vegetables, dried porcini, chestnut, cherry candy, old cloth and some dusty dry earth, black pepper. Candied brown sugar sweetness in the onset as well as raisin, banana and fig accents, rounded but well-dosed and not cloying, as it is being balanced by underlying sourishness and a slight mushroom-like umami flavor; softish carbonation, thick but smooth, slick body. Full caramelly and heavily toasted maltiness in the middle, more toastedly bitter than sweet and even a bit coffeeish and roasted in the end, mouth-filling, leading to a full-fledged malty, roasted and toasted bittersweet finish with some earthy, spicy hops made subordinate to the toasted malts; the caramelized or ’burnt’ sugar sweetness persists too (almost a touch candy-ish even) and matches well with this malt bitterness, and a strong, but fortunately not too astringent presence of brown rum-like alcohol is undeniable. Warming Dutch Doppelbock, pleasant enough and definitely one for the malt heads; the toasted bitterness is however much stronger in this one than in your average German style, bottom-fermented Doppelbock, but that makes this beer all the more interesting. Enjoyed it.

Bonito color marrón, no demasiada espuma blanca. Aroma a caramelo con toques de uva. Sabor menos dulce y mas frutal, aguada y con baja carbonatación y un final flojo.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy deep amber-brown with a beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, some roast, some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. Sweet flavor with malt, caramel, some decent roast, nuts, a fruity touch, a bit of alcohol and a drier finish. Medium-bodied. A bit too boozy, but alright.
