Not too tripely, that's good. Some hoppyness, some hefe, plenty banana.

GREAT SCOTT! Loads and loads of vanilla and chocolate in a decent bock. I like it!

On tap at NHBF’16. Thanks for the sample Marko! Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of banana, light spicy, tiny hint of coconut. Flavour is medium sweet, banana, spices, nice bitterness, creamy mouthfeel, some citrus. Medium bodied.

Sampled from bottle at NHB 2016, thanks Marko! Clear, golden amber with an off-white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity and herbal aroma of lemon, gooseberry, maybe hints of basil and some caramel. Sweetish, fruity and herbal-spicy taste of ginger, lemongrass, some caramel and hints of basil, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, herbal-spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!

Sampled from tap at NHB 2016, thanks Marko! Clear, golden yellow with a white head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy and a little fruity aroma of banana, cloves, honey and Belgian yeast. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of banana, honey, clove and vanilla, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Really nice!

Bottle @ home. Clear red to red-brown color, average to medium sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, a bit dusty, lightly raisins. Taste malts, leaves, a hint of nuts and lightly sweet and lightly bitter at the same time. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm not my kind of beer this one.

Can @ home. Clear amber, huge white head. Smells tea, malts, sweet. Tastes tea, malts, sweet, herbs. Medium body, soft to medium carbo.

330ml bottle, from trade with RW80. Many thanks! Pours clear gold, large white head. Aroma is parma violets, floral, light berries. Taste is in essence a nice pale blonde with light fragrant hints, vague vanilla and blueberries but getting no apple. Perhaps expected more of those elements but it’s still a moreish drinkable pale.

Dutch Bock from an Amsterdam beer company, bottle from Craftmember shared by Stefan, cheers! Thick and frothy, off-white, stable head, light hazy burgundy robe with bronze hue. Aroma of toffee, cocoa, dried apricot, vanilla, tea, chocolate milk, orange peel, a ’rusty’ hint of onsetting oxidation and ’natural’ iron. Sweetish, mildly estery onset, pineapple, raisin and apricot with vague banana somewhere, softish carbo, sourish accent, supple, slick and somewhat thin malt body, straightforwardly caramelly and a tad nutty, vague and mostly just ’structural’ herbal hop bitterishness far away in the background (as can be expected from a Bock, of course); in all, a fairly simple flavor track, until retronasally the chocolate and vanilla show up and enlighten the whole thing. I would not have cared for this very much without those special ingredients.
