On tap at the homebrew club. Clear dark reddish brown colour, creamy beige head. Aroma of burnt brown sugar, roasted malts and some dark fruits. Flavour is sweet, roasted malts and burnt sugar, a bit spicy, some plums. Nice bitter finish, but a brown sugar sweetness is dominant. A bit less than medium bodied. A good and sturdy Bock.

On tap at Cafe ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam, on 20th March 2009. Pale gold and hazy with a lot more flavour than I expected - spice and lemon being the main notes. Gives original Hoegaarden a good run for its money. Re-rated March 2012. On tap at PRAEL Brewpub in Amsterdam on 15 March 2012 hazy gold with quick decaying whitish head leaving lacing rings. Malt and cheese in aroma. Holly in-mouth with black pepper and grass. Complex hoppy finish, with toast and black pepper. Zingy mouthfeel and medium body.

Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam Hazy, orange body. Off-white, creamy head. Sweetish orange, bit caramel aroma with hint of honey, vanilla and other citris fruits. Lightly bitter, moderately sweet boring, dull flavour. Not bad, but lacks character and a spark to make it interesting.

Huge dense, dark-beige head, very stable over red-brown beer. Chocolate and other dark malts, vaguely lactic; sweet cacao. Dry-bitterish dark malts, with a quite bitter finish. Again chocolate, minimum sweetness. Finish is pure spicy bitterness and cacao powder. Warming up, it acquires something vinous. Pretty well-bodied, quite slick; alcohol discreet but there. Definitely not bad at all!
