30cl bottle from Valkenburg (Jumbo supermarket). Last beer of six in a mini tasting with myself and no one else at my place on 10th December 2025. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip it looked good, bright, clean and clear copper/amber body, off white crust on top. Caramel nose and sweet taste from start to finish. My sweet tooth liked it, but it's a bit one dimensional and artificial in nature, slightly disappointed to be honest. Wanted more depth and 'oomph'.

30cl bottle from the Jumbo supermarket in Valkenburg. Poured into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass at home on 7th December 2025. Copper bronze body, off white crust. Very sweet with a winter spice aroma/taste, cinnamon being a major player, too sweet for it's own good.

Bottle. Murky and sludgy brown with a massive beige head. Ugly for real. Aroma of overripe bananas, wheat and clove. Taste of bananas, caramel, clove, bubblegum, bread and wheat. Low to moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Almost creamy mouthfeel. I have to admit that Grolsch quite surprised me with this one.

0,5 l can. Pours golden with small, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, slightly spicy and quite fruity. Flavor follows aroma in general. Body is surprisingly light for ABV. Alcohol is almost entirely hidden. Finish is sweet, very long, a hint of rum even.

0,5 l can. Pours clear golden with big, rocky medium lasting and quite loud white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is weird, sweet, apples, plenty of alcohol, somewhat stale, cardboard with a bit of cabbage. Taste is heavy sweet and low bitter. Body is full, carbonation lively. Finish is very long, starts sweet and as sweetness fades heavy metallic bitter aftertaste sets in and lasts a while. Not good at all.

Robijnkleurig bier met schuim wat niet al te lang blijft staan. smaak is vrij zoet en licht bitter met iets van karamel, rozijnen en wat chocolade. Uitstekend bier. Ik heb de indruk dat deze versie wel degelijk iets zachter van smaak en verder ontwikkeld is dan de standaard herfstbok.

From bottle during dinner at 't Zusje in Ede. Didn't take notes, enjoyed good food and good company. Remember fruity notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. Drinkable.

A classic pilsner/lager. A slightly off white head, dense and well laced over a clear light straw body. The nose is a classic balance of Malt, pilsner yeast and spritz of lemon. The malt leads in a well blended taste profile. Again, pilsner yeast, a hint of citrus and honey fall in behind. The malt reasserts itself in the finish
