Amsterdam Spring Bock

Tap at bier bistro. Dark brown beer, thin brown head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Dark toasted amlts, sweet brown sugar, light raisin and roasted grain. A bit of licorice on the back as well. Dark and chewy sweet. It’s more doppelbock than dunkel and way too sweet, but it’s decent enough.

On tap at Volo. A cloudy dark pour. Mouthfeel was creamy supported by a soft white head. Taste was of dates and molasses. Smell was similarly sweet and syrupy. Nothing exceptional, but one of the better brews of the night.

Tap at Volo
Poured ruby with brown accents, good large creamy head. Visible carbonation, fragmental lacing.
Sweet malty nose with gentle strokes of hops. Fruity scent of sweet ripe red apple.
Medium light bodied, fruity front with slight tart and medium full roasted brown malts. Soft sweeter substance around. Alcohol well covered. Softer at edges which is welcomed (more like malty Czech strong dunkel) . Good attempt yet nothing sticking out of crowd.

Dark mahogany with a decent head and some lacing. Fairly thick, somewhat syrupy. As far as scent and aroma, it’s one-dimensional, sweet and malty with maybe some spice, but drinkable and somewhat tasty. Very metallic aftertaste. Didn’t blow my mind.

Draft at Shoeless Joe’s. I’m not an experienced Bock drinker, but I’m glad to read here that this is not considered a great one. I found it thin and a bit sour.
