Us Heit’s contribution to the yearly Dutch Bock season, thanks Craftmember for the bottle. Dense and foamy, yellowish egg-white, creamy, papery lacing, stable head over an initially clear, warm caramel brown beer with coppery hue and quite lively sparkling, turning (only lightly) hazy with sediment added. Aroma of mostly toffee, cookie dough, hints of banana, dried dates, sugared tea, clove, hazelnut paste, vague black peppercorn touch, minerals, damp earthy, straw, some faint iron. Sweetish onset with sourish edge, dried plum, banana and fig, lively carb, very minerally side flavours but not really ‘stinging’ so these possibly come from the ‘Frisian’ brew water itself; lean, toffeeish and caramelly malt sweet middle with a light toasty bitterish accent working together with a herbal hop bitterish touch and a bit nutmeg- and clove-like phenolic impression, creating a bit of dryness and spiciness in the finish, though it is the toffeeish malt sweet character that remains dominant, together with those minerally side flavours. Easily drinkable, correct and pleasant, old-fashioned and thoroughly Dutch ‘herfstbok’.

Notes from ealry 90s: bottle, very young. Dark brown color. Aroma’s:: caramel malts, sweet, yeasty, light fruity sourness. Flavor: moderate to full sweet. Medium bodied. Long finish, no new flavors.

From bottle. Dark copper. Small and diminishing off-white head. Aroma of dark caramel, dates and prunes. Similar taste, combined with berries and a hint of hops. Fine aftertaste.

0,33 flaske delt med Steve og håndimportør Ovesen: kort beige skum og mørk rødbrun farge. Tiltalende aroma av svisker og mørk malt. Søtlig smak av mørke malter, svisker og Freie Fruktnøtt, og hvor humlene summer diskret i bakgrunnen. Fin munnfylde og søtlig ettersmak med litt lakris. en elegant og deilig bokkøl.

Clear dark brown beer. Low carbonation. Rich malt with a pleasant burnt toffee taste and some aniseed in the finish. Tasty!
