Golden colour. Aroma and flavour have a lot of gale and bay leaf. Too herbal. Unpleasant.

0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before January 2020. Hazy, dark brown with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, light beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty and moderately yeasty-spicy aroma of caramel, nuts, some chocolate, a touch of overripe banana and traces of raisins. Quite sweet, malty, yeasty-spicy and rather roasty taste of caramel, milk chocolate, toasted nuts, even some coffee, overripe banana and some raisins, followed by a long, rather roasty-bitter, yeasty-spicy, overall quite harsh finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and rather effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Fairly bitter for a Weizenbock, maybe a bit too much, but it prevents it from being cloying. Overall pretty decent by NHB standards, must be among the best I've had from them, even though it's far from flawless.

Bottle. Color: Very dark ruby, almost black. Thin beige head. Taste: Dark roasted malt, notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, liquorice. Hints of oak. Very sweet, sticky. Bit boozy finish. Medium body, average carbonation. Mediocre imperial stout, lacking balance and complexity.

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of liquorice. Also dried fruits and bitter coffee. Overall it's quite sweet and boozy.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Clear deep reddish- amber beer, tidy tan head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Very mild dark malts, a trace of roast. Light piney hop. Little ripe fruits and mild bitterness. Light dry finish. It’s okay, bit wishy washy for the abv.
