C: Medium, reasonably stable tan-russet head over almost black brown beer, finely carbonated 4/5 N: Sweetish nose, with aromas of herbs in tincture, heather, felt, holly. 7/10 T: Sweet-herbal. Faint acidity and bitterishness. Creamy vanilla; dark brown bread, mild roast. 7/10 MF: Serious alcoholglow backthroat, thick, voluptuous MF. Medium to well-carbonated. 4/5 O: Quite pleasing beer; dangerously drinkable despite its massive ABV. 15/20

33 cl. bottle sample @ Beertasting Wes and Suus. Pours brown with an off-white head. Spicy aroma with cinnamon, pepper and cardemon (speculaas spices). Taste is rather sweet. Body is medium thick, with some wheat creaminess. Nice atypical weizenbock.

Bottle (from hetbiermoment). Pours dark brown. Aroma is spicy, cardemon, clove, sweet, fruits, malt. Flavor is sweet and bitter, spices, vanilla, cardemon, clove, malt. Finish is sweet and malty. Finish has some dry bittternes with spicy notes and touch of booze. Overall: very good, although not weizen bock in any way, very S/H/V.

Fles van het Biermoment. Ik haal er geen turf uit. Meer marshmallow, wat chocola en drop. Maar je hoort mij niet klagen

Fles van het Biermoment. Heel veel zoete bananenschuimpjes, samen met Werthers echte. Klinkt misschien ranzig, maar stiekem best lekker

330ml bottle. Slightly milky, amber colour with average to huge, sudsy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Hard to describe, herbal-spicy and slightly fruity aroma, muggy, sweaty notes of rotten peach and apricot, cautious hints of fresh apricot, a touch of green tea and hay. Taste is fruity and herbal spicy, notes of apricot, mirabelle, minimally peppery yeasty overtones, muggy, sweaty interludes of rotten fruit again; slightly overcarbonated.
