Herfstbock

Draught @ Gastropub Tuulensuu as "Budels Herfstbock"
Aroma is sweet with brown sugar - feels like belgian strong. Flavour is sweet with syrup, brown sugar, honey and some spices. Malty finish with some alcohol, sugary aftertaste. Rather sweet bock, but sugar-sweet and not malt-sweet like bocks usually are. A ’belgian bock’, I’d say.

Bottle, 6.5%. Malty aroma. Clear dark brown colour with a red shine. Small tan head. Roasted liquorice flavour, not so well-balanced. Malty enough and slightly sweet. Good alcohol level. OK for a macro.
