Hazy deep medium amber colour, small frothy off-white to beige head, settles quickly, good lacing. Aroma roasted malts,, caramel, brown sugar, dark bread, hint of citrus peel. Flavour medium sweet and bitter, roasted malts, caramel, light resinous touch. Malty sweetbitter finish, burnt caramel. Not a bad beer but for an IPA too sweet, too much malts and not enough hops.

Bottle from Burg Bieren, BB 09 2017 (zie fles, zet het GVD gewoon ergens op het label ipv mij een zoekplaatje te geven), 33 cl sample. Slight hazy golden to amber color, big rocky head. Aroma of big bubblegummy Brett. Also in flavor lots of sweet bubblegummy Brett, slight bitter. Dont know how they did it, but they just made an Orval. I love it, but I doubt it was intended. So, as it has some minor flaws for an Orval, it could score a 4.5, but as it was intended differently, another 1.5 point off.

Dutch ’dubbelbok’ from the new beer company that basically saved Emelisse from oblivion after Kees Bubberman left the building, apparently with added vanilla and ’boerenjongens’, i.e. liquor-soaked raisins, typical for especially the north of the Netherlands. Very regular, pale yellowish beige, dense head, leaving little lacing but retaining as a firm moussy ring and a flat island of foam in the middle, over a hazy very dark bronze, but translucent beer with deep ruby red hue. Aroma of candied cherries or indeed these ’boerenjongens’, strong vanilla, milk chocolate, lots of caramel fudge, strawberry jam, ruby port, brown rum, damp earth, ginger, old brown bread, candi sugar, banana, ripe blue plums, fig, faint wood glue. Expectedly sweet onset but not cloying, lots of candied fig, dried banana, plum and ripe black cherry, obvious raisins, with a certain blackberry-like sourness providing balance against the sweetness; soft, rounded mouthfeel with medium carbonation, a tad oily. Very caramelly and lightly nutty malt middle, smooth with a very light toasty accent to it but something vaguely metallic as well, feeling lighter than the 8% ABV given; lingering dried and candied fruit sweetness on top of it, leading to a drier finish with a dash of herbal hop bitterishness but softly so as expected from the style; the vanilla returns retronasally and lifts the whole thing up. A spicy astringency ends this flavour development, clearly due to alcohol, I guess a combination of the residual alcohol in the ’boerenjongens’, very ’jenever’-like, and the beer’s own alcohol; it warms the chest as the beer goes down, but leaves a wry sensation on the root of the tongue as well. Unusual Doppelbock even to Dutch standards, but I get the idea of trying to embellish the natural caramel sweet profile of a dark Doppelbock with other sweets and the vanilla is a nice touch here - but I like vanilla aroma to begin with so this just happens to hit a weak spot with me. The ’boerenjongens’ seem to be a bit overkill, honestly, but the whole does function correctly as far as I’m concerned. Nice interpretation of this style, in all, but the alcohol is too noticeable in the end, if that would not have been the case, this was probably among the best strong Bocks I had so far from the Netherlands.

Yeasty citric nose. Colour is clear pale golden, lot of activity, fair mid-sized white to off-white head, half-way lasting. Aroma wheat, lime, coriander, yeast. Flavour light sweet and bitter, wheaty, light citrus. Light sweetbitter finish, spicy notes, light acidity. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation, refreshing but overall a bit meagre.

Thank you JorisPPattyn! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG VI (2017). Dark red amber, little tanned head. Nose is overly metallic, herbal, leaves, licorice, kitchen spices, bit thin. Taste is thin sweet strawberry jam, sugar, iron, candy sweet, vanillay, red berries jam, strange but enjoyable partially. Body is sweet iron, weird strawberry jam. Puzzling but sweet jammy tastes works partially.
