Bottle brought from Belgium by a colleague at work... This was a mild bock - drinkable, but forgettable...

BlackHaddock (2363) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - NOV 7, 2012
21st Oct 2012: Cafe De Grendelpoort in Valkenburg, on-tap, along with a host of others in a ’Bok Fest’. Pours a dark brown colour which isn’t mirky but it isn’t clear either. On top a thin layer of white foam. The aroma was of over roasted malty molasses and yeastiness. The yeast and sweetness from the molasses carried on into the taste nicely. There was also a distinct liquorice finish to this brew, so much so I had to have another to make sure! Very pleasant and tasty, body strength good and well carbonated.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - OCT 17, 2012
#1376 Mahogoni mit bräunlichem Schaum. Minimal fruchtig-hefiges Aroma. Erstaunlich frischer Antrunk für einen Bock. Der Geschmack ist nach Steinobst Richtung Pflaume vermischt mit Zartbittertönen, nicht zu süß und einer leckeren Hopfennote im Abgang. Teuflisch süffig, daher wohl auch die Nr. mit einer sechs zuviel (6666) aufm Etikett...the number of the beast...

Bottle sample at a tasting at our place. Thanks troubles. Pours cloudy brown with an off-white lace. Raisins and prune aroma, deep, sweet taste. Carbonated, medium-to-full body, sweet finish. Nice.

Another easy drinking beer from these guys. Poured brownish with good head that stayed around. Great taste. Haven’t had a bad beer from them yet.
