0.3 l bottle from 'AH XL' (Roermond), 2025 vintage, best before April 2030. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, cocoa, raisins and prunes. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity and a little spicy taste of caramel, molasses, cocoa, licorice root, raisins and some prunes, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, a little boozy finish. Full body, smooth and creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Solid Eisbock, very well-brewed.

‘22 vintage bottle at home, accidentally cellared this one for 2+ years. Pours black with a tan head. Nose is big licorice, some soy sauce, dark chocolate. Taste is some chocolate, light cinnamon somehow and mostly licorice. Medium bitterness, light to medium body. Not terrible, but far from good. Full disclosure, I hate licorice.
gave a cheers!

Bottle at home. Aroma is wheaty malt, caramel, plum, dried fruits, raisins, touch of liquorice, nuts, and a hint of clove. Flavour is sweet and a bit sticky, not too boozy at all, alcohol is surprisingly well-hidden. Body is above medium. Bit like a WeizenEisBock. Nice one.

Аромат приятный, много сливы, изюма, и сухофруктов прежде всего, немного специй и цветов, легкая карамель. Цвет темно коричневый, пена средняя. Во вкусе снова много сливы и кураги с изюмом, немного специй, очень нежное тело и удивительно нету алкоголя практически. Послевкусие уже чутка дает больше карамльки и хлеба. В целом хорошо.

Strong alcohol notes in the aroma, some roasted notes. Dark brown color, small beige head. Still alcohol notes in flavor, medium bitter and lower sweetness. Full body, long finish.Creamy, like a stout.

Tap at Amersfoorts Bockbier Festival, 2016: Slightly hazy dark brown colored brew with pretty sweet taste and some burning in the mouth. Hints of dries fruits, liquirice and caramel. Gulpener is well busy in the brewing of different beer styles, no other commercial brewery can or will do so in the Netherlands.

Bottled (from de Biertonne). Copper colour with a minor beige head. Aroma is ripe fruits, alcohol, some toffee and mild fruity tones with some syrupy tones. Flavour is somewhat hoppy floral tones with dried fruits, some alcohol, and overly sweet.
