Token member of style. Pours flat redish brown with littlest of head. Highly fizzy carbonated. Thinnish mouthfeel. Some dunkel malt in there, not very drinkable. Nondiscript minimal malt and tin aroma.

Bottled (thanks jbrus!). Deep rubyish amber colour, beige foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is raisins, some ryebready notes as well as mild fruits and hops. Flavour is toasted ryebread with the burning notes growing for the finish. Some underlying fruity (green apples) and grassy hops as well as some mild toffeeishness and chocolate. Rather big surprise with the burnt ryebready notes, which fit this like a fist in the eye.

Can. <b>[thank you, bierkoning]</b><br /> Pours a nice, ruby red with a big, fizzy, beige head. Diminishes and gains some denseness. Aroma is sweet and malty, lots of caramel, some apple and blackberries. Some slight chocolate as well. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is a little bit vinious, some lovely roasted notes and dry hoppiness. The chocolate notes are well placed as well. Nice bock.

Bottle from trade with jbrus. The clear, copper body has a creamy beige head of low height on top. Aromas of dried fruits, a little alcohol, some cooked vegetables and hops escape the glass. It gives a rather sweetish impression. And it tastes sweet. There’s some cooked vegetables here too, but in the background, overpowered by caramel and some hoppy bitterness, leading to a caramel-sweet finish with a touch of fruits. Medium, slightly warming mouthfeel. A quite nice Dutch bock, but I could do without the DMS. (080731)

33 cl bottle - shared with gunnfryd and yngwie in Korshavn. Thank you, yngwie. Brown reddish color, medium beige head. Aroma is dried fruit, malt and sweetness. Flavor is the same, with some bitterness. A bit thin finish.
