Aroma heeft iets zuurs en ranzig, ook wat van roggebrood, niet echt een lokkertje. Doch het hapt heerlijk weg, romig, en de smaak is beter dan dat het ruikt. Nasmaak is zoetig en hartigs, smaak is licht kruidig met zoete tonen.

Bottle. Gushed a bit. Clear dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel, hints of spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Rich mouthfeel is lightened by creamy texture and light carbonation. Taste has caramel, some chocolate and lots of stewed and dried fruits. There’s a little plummy sourness too. Spicy bitterness seems meek at first but builds in a long finish. Very agreeable, balanced and alive.

Very dark brown, a nice sized and holding head. Malty, spiced, hops. Nicely dark fruits and caramel. Decent.

0,75l bottle from Csakajósör, Budapest. Clear dark brown color, with medium head. Caramel, roasty aroma. Coffee, caramel, and fruity (plum, sour cherry) taste, with meduim body. Fruity caramel finish. Its a good bock with belgian style fruity.

ASPETTO SCHIUMA: color beige, buona presenza, media finezza e residuo persistente ma il grosso della schiuma si degrada in fretta COLORE: marrore scuro, con toni porpora, piuttosto limpida AROMA profumi maltati, tostato, zucchero caramellato, note fruttate di contorno e sentori di lieviti e alcohol SAPORE imbocco dominato dai malti, che ripropongono gli aromi: tostato, caramello che infondono una base dolce a cui si aggiungono leggere note fruttate (frutta secca) e lieviti. Sul finale vira parzialmente verso amari ben distribuiti fra malti e luppoli, a cui si somma uno speziato/pepato sostenuto da sapori alcolici TEXTURE corpo medio, morbida in bocca, cabonazione sostenuta COMMENTO FINALE buona birra, piacevole con buone basi. Che sia una lager non si nota molto e della bock evidenzia il carattere maltato e una alcolicità presente, nonostante la % non sia elevatissima (ma sono proprio 6.66 ?). Per il resto i lieviti e un fruttato gironzolante tradisce l’orgine belga: niente di male ma allontanano dallo stile di riferimento. forse un pelino troppo carbonata e comunque meno corpulenta di quello che mi aspettavo. ci sono Chouffe migliori.

Light brownish, ruby colour, yellowish white head. Very fruity aroma with slight hoppy notes. Taste is ale-like, a bit less intensive than I expected. Rolls on your tongue, tinge is sweet and malty. I miss something from it -more yeast maybe?- but it certainly worth a try.
