Chosen best Dutch bock beer in 2001 and 2002. This is the first autumn bock beer of 2003. Still very young. Only a slight maltaroma with just a hint of caramel and milk. Sweetish, malty flavor with some licorice and roasted malt. Caramel and a hint of butter. Very nice beer that already has depth, but should further gain in complexity when maturing. Another well made SNAB beer. (7 3 7 4 14 = 3.5) 2004 version, sold as "ouwe bok" by Mitra Hengelo in december 2005, tasted january 3 2006. Steady frothy head. Malt, cinnamon and laurel in the aroma. Malty, hoppy, flowery flavor with laurel and a touch of licorice and caramel. Full bodied. Exquisit bockbeer. (7 4 8 4 15 = 3.8) 2005 version, sold as "jonge bok" by Mitra Hengelo, tasted january 4 2006. Buttery, malty aroma with laurel. Creamy, hoppy flavor with caramel and laurel. Sweetish with pure chocolate and roasted malt. Just a touch of yeast. Characterful quality beer that could easily be described as an abbey double ale. 2006 version, tap Café ’t Arendsnest Amsterdam. Sweet flavor with licorice, chewing gum , laurel and roasted malt. 2007 version, tap ’t Arendsnest Amsterdam. Malt and a hint of cherry sweets in the aroma. Malty sweetish flavor with cinnamon and a hint of raspberry. Some roast coming up in the long aftertaste. Good!
