Bock
(has 8 batches)

Pours a clean deep red-copper colour with a frothy beige head that stays a while. Lacing is present, but disappears quickly. Big nutty smell at first, and then some dark fruits appear. Plums, raisins and then some caramel and spices. The alcohol is also there. It nicely disappears in the taste and mouthfeel though. Quite smooth overall. Flavours of roasted malts, nuts, mild caramel and the dark fruits are mostly hidden in the back. Damn smooooooth !

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur brune et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (prunes, moyen de raisins, traces de figues), malté de caramel toffee très légèrement rôti avec des notes de houblon herbeux ainsi que des traces boisées (bois humide) et de réglisse noire. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse et aux notes crémeuses. Léger-moyen goût fruité (prunes, léger de raisins, notes de figues) accompagné de faibles notes boisées (bois humide) et épicées ainsi que de traces de réglisse noire lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de caramel sucré, légèrement rôti et aux faibles notes terreuses ainsi que des notes de pain grillé, de pain, de sucre brun et des petites traces de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve des notes de houblon herbeux et d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen-long, légèrement amer de rôti et de houblon herbeux avec un goût de levures fruitées (pelures de prunes, léger moût de raisins).

Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep brown color ale with a medium foamy head with medium retention and some lacing. Aroma of heavily caramelized malt with light brown sugar notes. Taste is also dominated by heavy caramel malt with notes of brown sugar and more residual sugar then I had expected. Body is quite full with medium carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Heavier and sweeter then expected though still very enjoyable.

This Dunkel poured a dirsty dark red colour with an almost non-existant bright white head. To the nose there are scents of ripe fruit, raisins, alcohol and spice. First sip was smooth with flavours of tea, apple cider, spice, hopps and raisins. Finish is slightly bitter with a warming alcohol vapour lingering.

33cl flip top bottle. Thursday, October 4, 2012 nice amber colour. decent bok beer.

clear dark nutty brown, small film smooth light brown head. looks very good, but i could use a little more head. sweet malty, nutty, very faint dark fruity aroma, alcohol, sugar in the aroma. flavor is dark caramel, weird faint flowery sort of hoppy note, faint dark fruits, syrup, faint nuts. This dutch interpretation (called bok) of the german bock style, is a little different than the german ones i’m used to. nice woody bitter caramelly bitterness towards the end. Beer tastes better and better as i get used to it. good winter season beer.
