330ml bottle. Clear (?), mahogany colour with ruby shimmer and average, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, yeasty fruity and dark malty aroma, notes of cherry, plum, red and dark berries, hints of malt lozenge, a touch of dark chocolate and rock sugar, dark caramel, cherry kernel. Taste is mildly bitter and sweet, toasty dark malty and yeasty fruity, hints of plum, cherry, red and dark berries, a touch of dark caramel, burnt caramel, cherry kernel, a minimally metallic edge. Minimally creamy, watery texture, dry, minimally repellent, locked palate, minimally cloying nevertheless, fine, prickly carbonation. Very nice fruity aspects, solid malty basis, decent hop bitterness - very entertaining.

Bottle. dark brown color. Caramel and rancid butter in the aroma. Full bodied. A sweetish, buttery caramelly mess. Bitter walnuts. Thick, yoghurt- like mouthfeel. A diacetyl bomb.

Thuis uit een flesje. Donker, tegen zwart aan. En een zeer uitbundig schuim, dat ook aanwezig blijft, mooi. Zachte smaak, aroma vrij vlak. Zeker niet te zoet, lekker bokbier. Mijn uitvoering was 7,5%.

This year’s rendition of the obligatory ‘bokbier’ from this ‘pre-Molen’ era pioneer of Dutch craft brewing, shared by Craftmember. Very thick and initially towering high, foamy, regular, yellowish beige head, very dark chocolate brown robe with mahogany hue, hazy. Aroma immediately struck with a fair dosage of acetaldehyde, strongly reminiscent of freshly cut Granny Smith apples, embedded in a background of caramel, ‘Haagse hopjes’, spiced cookies, sawdust, toffee, dry baker’s yeast, sugared tea. Sweet onset, light banana, some fig and again that strong green apple presence, sharply stinging carbonation, toffeeish and sweet-peanutty malt body with a chocolatey edge and even a late and subtle roasty-bitterish accent; dry and powdery, bread-crumb like yeast effect in the end, carrying along some spicy phenols. Hop bitterness, as is custom in this style, remains subdued and very mildly herbal. Interesting, yeasty and very malty, bit ‘different’ but far from unpleasant interpretation of classic Dutch ‘herfstbok’, though I must add that I also had – in their respective classes – better brews from Klein Duimpje, too.
