On tap at PINT Bokbierfestival 2015. Clear, deep red with a big, creamy, tan head. Sweetish-malty aroma of raisins, brown sugar and caramel. Sweetish, fruity-malty taste of dark cherries, plums, molasses and raisins. Short, slightly bitter finish with notes of licorice. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!

330ml Bottle - Dark brown with some red tinges. Raisins, spicy malt and a hint of marzipan in the aroma. Fruity and slightly metallic taste with marzipan, raisins and caramel.

Surprisingly good bock beer, these Dutch bocks are usually boring or even bad. This one is malty, bit dry and with some nice spices and fruits. Balanced and tasty.

Clear deep red copper colour, good frothy tan head, reduces but doesn’t disappear completely, good lacing. Sweet malty aroma, caramel, raisins, brown sugar, plum, citrus, earthy, clove. Taste medium sweet, lightl bitter, a bit toasted. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Lingering sweetbitter aftertaste, hint of coffee.

33cl Bottle, 2013 on the front label (brewed in?), 01/10/15 on the cap: poured slowly into a Westmalle chalice at home on 26/04/14. Lovely clear ruby red body, on top a creamy blanket of foam: I didn’t want to break through the crust, it looked so good. Sweet malty molasses however oozed out of the brew, raisins, plums and dark fruits of the forest mingled with yeast and an alcohol trace (if there is such a thing as an alcohol trace, aroma wise). Those sweet aromas didn’t manifest themselves into the mouth as much as I anticipated, the beer being calmer: sweet dark fruits ruled the taste but they were tempered by a balanced bitterness from whatever hops were used in the brew. Good body depth for a Doppelbock: this doesn’t feel like a dark lager on drugs with alcohol added (like a few I’ve had the pleasure or drinking). I am slowly moving towards being a Doppelbock ’con-e-sewer’ and this is a very good example of the style. Not as sweet, or lacking in body depth as some (of the German) within this type of brew: it carries it’s flavours very well.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht trübes bernsteinfarbenes Bier mit schöner Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr malzig fruchtig, süß karamellig, fruchtig. Geschmack röstmalzig süß, fruchtig, Karamell, leicht würzig.

Clear dark brown colour. Sweet, malty aroma. A bit nutty too. Some caramel sweetness in the taste but in general it’s not too sweet. Balance is good but lacks punch.
