Bottled (BB 08/2008)
Courtesy of bierkoning. Ty Edo! "Bavaria" is usually not so interesting brand, but certainly information that this is brewed by De Koningshoeven adds some expectations. Ruby red color, creamy brownish head. Toasted caramel, grassy hops and light alcoholi in the nose. Sweetish bock with crisp carbonation, mouthfeel is a bit hard. Brown sugar, lightly toasted malty beer. Aftertaste is sugary. Some alcohol is evident too. Simple, drinkable and a bit too sweet bock. Quite typical Dutch "macro bock".

Bottle, 6.5%. Metallic aroma. Clear brown colour. Small light brown head. The flavour is quite sweet, creamy and slightly peppery. Quite roasted with good malt notes and brown sugar. Finishes with a little rough malt bitterness. Nothing spectacular, but it is a dark bock the way I like it.

Bottle: (courtesy MoritzF/Bierkoning): Ruby to amber coloured, huge off-white head, sticking to the glass; sweet-malty in the nose, distinctive traces of coriander and roasted malt; sweet-malty flavour with a faint bitterness; sweet-malty, again in the finish, a bit vinous, with an slightly bitter aftertaste. Quite well balanced "top-fermented" Bock. If it’s true, that this Bock is produced by the use of wheat, this wheat is pretty well hidden................

(bottle) Clear mahogany colour with a foamy tanned medium head. Slightly sweet malty aroma with caramel and a dense fruity note. Sweet flavour, medium body, well carbonated. Sweet malty taste, slightly caramelly and fruity, sweet and slightly roasted malty finish. Not bad, but I´m also not overwhelmed.

Beautiful clear mahogany colour; beige head, collapsing. Caramel, sugar, bit bready nose. Very short instant of bitter, then rather dull-sweet, bready and (hazel)nutty flavour. Bit of butter as well, and faint roasted caramel. Carbonation is rather outspoken in the MF. Medium to well-bodied, slickness, nearly fatty texture. An archetypal Dutch bock. Sweet, but not annoyingly so, just a bit dull.

A red beer with a fine brown head. The aroma is sweet yeasty with hints of caramel and sourness. The flavor is surprisingly thin with notes of caramel and roasted bread.
