De Grunn Bock is het paradepaardje van de Grunn Bier. Het is een krachtig, robijnrood herfstbier. Diverse geroosterde mouten maken dit een speciaal biertje. Dat blijkt ook wel uit de Landelijke Smaaktest 2001 waar dit bier de eerste prijs voor “Beste Bockbier van Nederland” heeft gewonnen.

Bottled (BB 12/2008)
Very dark ruby color, almost opaque, big creamy beige head. Light barnyard and hay in the nose. Starts malty, then crisp carbonation flows in, alcohol in the finish. Nuts, some herbs, lightly toasted malts, that is it. Hoppy and slightly herbal aftertaste. Drinkable but very one-dimensional. This brewery has not impressed me.

Bottled. Hazy dark reddish/brown colour with mediumsized beige creamy head, lacing. Aroma is mud, butter, caramel and some spices. Flavour is toffee, butter and spices along with a salted licorace and some roast. Aftertaste is spices and caramelly malty. Alcohol shows only in the aftertaste as a burning sweet feeling in the back of the mouth. A bit watery palate.

Thick, dense brownish head over Coca-Cola coloured beer. Fresh malt, even greenmalt. A bit of brown candy sugar. Roasted, leafy-bitterish taste, bit of human sweat flavour, subtly spiced but overrrun by the earthy characteristics of the malts used. The finish is more hop-influenced, with a dry bitterness. Medium bodied, sharp ending, alcohle is fairly hidden. Not really a success - except for the fact that it is not overly sweet as most Dutch Bocks.

Bottled. (a year past BB-date) Reddish brown with lots of floaties and a nice, dense, off-white head. Weak aroma with caramel, sweetness and hints of alcohol. Alcohol, sweetness, dried fruits and caramel in the flavor. Full body and a sweet finish with lots of alcohol. A nice, warming, Dutch bock. (061111)

(bottle) Dark red-brown colour with a small foamy off-white head. Slightly sweet toastmalty aroma with a distinctive chestnut nose and a light hoppy tone. Bittersweet flavour, medium body and carbonation. Initial toast malty with chestnut mash, dry and bitter finish with a note of herbal hops and liquorice. Quite tasty and not too sweet Bock, nice !

A nut brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is yeasty with slight notes of caramel and nuts, on a slightly acidic background. The flavor is sweet with lots of nutty notes as well as toffee, and with a good body - the alcohol can be noted, but not tasted - nice. It ends on a nutty dry note with a slight warming sensation in the throat.

(Bottle 30 cl) Simply called "Grunn Bock" in my version - reckon it’s the same. Very dark brown with a reddish glow. Unfiltered hence with some impurities but not really hazy as such. Light brown head. Notes of dark roasted malt, almost burned malt with a slight underlying sweetness. Reminds me of the Belgian version of Scotch Ale. Nice indeed. 021103
