Nice bock but not very special. Little roasted, malty aroma. Dark brown color, off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, few flavors, little caramel, little roasted. Short finish.

As ’Herfstbok’ at the bar. Amber coloured beer with light tan head. Tabacco, boiled patatos, herbs, cereal and earthy. This strange dryness continues in the taste, that’s light bitter and albeit being drinkable not very pleasant. Sort of rye bitterness but at the same time misses character. Cannot compete against even the mass brewery Dutch bocks. (On tap at Oudean bar)

At Utrecht’s Bokbier Festival 2010. Amber, brown colored brew. Grainy aroma. Flavor has sweetness, caramel, some spices. Ok-ish.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear orange brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Fruity aroma of spices and caramel with notes of yeast. Fruity flavour of caramel and liquorice with notes of yeast and spices. Yeasty and hoppy finish.

On tap at Pint Bokbierfestival 09. I reckon it’s this beer.. Sold as Oudaen Herfstbock. Amber colour, dense off white head. Aroma is fruity, flowery like potpourri. Flavour is sweet, flowery, light fruity, sweetish very light bitter finish. Not a bock, but a nice beer.

Had this one with my friend Roeland at Oud Daen in Utrecht, my new hometown. Very tasty in a unique atmosphere. This is what drinking beer must have been like in the dark ages. Drinking good beer with good friends.

Cloudy dark brown/red colour. Roasted malts in nose and taste. Interesting taste. Palate is malty. Definately better than average.

Average bock.
