4/II/2012 on tap @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2012-88) Thanks to Klaas for sharing his beer!

Pretty cloudy reddish brown beer, creamy beige head, bit stable, adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, peaches, bit vinous, red wine, sangria even, some citrus, ginger bread. MF: good carbon, medium to full body. Taste: bit sweet start, malty, very bready, some citrus, spices. Aftertaste: bitter finish, more spices, some rotten fruits in the end, spoiling it a bit.

Tap @ de klikspaan, Groningen. Dark brown, small head. Sweet aroma, some smokey hints. Sweet taste, sugar, roasted malts. Medium finish. Not that special overall.

Draft at Huppel. Dark amber pour with white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit and malt. Matching flavour.

Draught @ Cafe Becoloth, Boxtel. Hazy, almost opaque dark orange color, small to medium sized lightly creamy off-white to beige head. Smell malts, wheat and lightly sweet. Taste moderately sweet, lightly earthy. Decent carbo, medium body.

Fantastic! Great burnt sugar start, then roasted chestnuts...deep malty taste very well balanced with almost a touch too much hop. A little more aroma would make this v tasty indeed. Fantastic bittersweet bock.

Van de tap. Geserveerd in mooi ankerbok glas. Donker roodbruin bier met een forse lichte kraag. Het bier is wat dun in de mond en doet een beetje waterig aan. De smaak is wel goed, zei het niet al te uitgesproken, wat kruiden en overrijp fruit, klein beetje gebrande mout. Al met al een aardige bok, maar zeker niet een van de betere.

Draft. Brown, reddish colour with tanned head on top. Aroma of fruity esters with malts. Over carbonated flavour that tinkles your tongue. Medium sweetness going on.. not much special flavours. Decent bok though.
