Een opper is een opslagplaats voor gemaaid, nog vochtig gras. Een lange houten paal wordt gestut door schuingeplaatste palen, waar het gras dan tegenaan gestapeld wordt om verder te kunnen drogen. In onze Opperbock bestaat de houten paal uit rogge-, gerst- en tarwemout, gestut door karamel en zoethout.
En anders dan bij een echte opper, hoeft dit volle bier met een licht bittere afdronk wat ons betreft nooit op te drogen. De Opperbock omart je, zoals het gras de houten palen. Door dit donkergekleurde bier zie je alleen het mooiste van de herfst.

Hops: Hallertauer en Magnum

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is dark malts with notes of raisins and caramel. Lightly toasty malts. A little sharpness in there. Moderate sweet flavour, light bitter. Bodyis medium. Not bad.

Dark brown with thin head. Starts with a bit of brown sugar sweetness but then gets awfully grassy. Not a pleasant aroma. Taste is ok though.

Sweet-ish, dark and caramel malty aroma, yeasty fruity overtones, hints of milk chocolate, caramel, a touch of plum, dark berries. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally toasty, dark and caramel malty, slightly yeasty fruity, hints of milk chocolate, a touch of plum, watery interludes. Slightly creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft, creamy carbonation. Minimally watery, not much depth - OK.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met BramL. Het is een amberkleurig bier met een medium beige schuimkraag. Het aroma van gebrande mout en caramel. De smaak is moutig, zoetig en fruitig.

‘Herfstbok’ from a Dutch beer company I never heard of before, from a 75 cl shared by Craftmember, cheers! Open and loosely knit, mousy, pale greyish beige head, clear purple-tinged burgundy-copper robe. Aroma of hard caramel candy, candi sugar, old raisins, candied figs, sugared tea, peanuts, hazelnut oil, cloves, hint of old straw. Sweet onset, some residual candi sugar, otherwise clean with dried cranberry and candied fig hints, supple body, fizzy carbonation. Somewhat resinous hard-caramelly and lightly peanutty and even very lightly toasty-bitterish maltiness, bit thinnish even for a regular Bock, tea-ish herbal hop bitter note in the end, bit bittersweet in all but with more emphasis on sweetness than on bitterness. The name means something like ‘supreme Bock’, but in reality, this is just your run-of-the-mill, standard Dutch ‘donkerbok’ for the coming of the dark days of the year; it does not stand out among all those other Dutch ‘herfstbokken’, but admittedly it shows no technical flaws – not that I was expecting any from a beer apparently brewed at Jopen.

Bottle label says brewed at Jopen. Dark brown color. Roast and caramel in the aroma. Medium to full bodied. Bready, milky. Caramel, hint of roast. Decent, well balanced brew.
