Bottle from a local bottle shop. Toasted malt aroma with caramel, toffee, light cocoa, fruity notes with some red fruits in there. Flavour is moderate sweet with a relatively bitter finish for a Dunkler Bock. Body is medium. Nicely fruity and bitter for the style, I really like this one.

Tap at Noord-Hollands Bierfestival, Alkmaar: Brewed at the now defunct Breugems brewery, in time for this festival. Very black brew with an taste of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee. I think the De Bierdere brewery is the continuation of the Breugems brewery.
