Just your average bock, perhaps a bit more sourness than one would expect. Not overly sweet. Average, meh.

Draught:
Off white foamy head, disappears quick.
Dark amber to brown beer.
Smell: toasty malts and sugars, bit sweet, some dark fruits.
Taste is a very fine mix of sweets, caramel, malts, hops, spices, toasty malts and sugars and some sort of butterish hint.

Nice amber colour. A nice dry bock. Not over sweet like some of the big brewery versions

Purchased from the Brasserie Achouffe gift shop in Achouffe, Belgium. This beer was poured from a 750 ml capped bottle. The 6666 refers to the postal code in Achouffe and is advertised as being 6.66% ABV to match.
Sheeting lace from the billowing white head surrounds a nutty clear coppery brown body. Lovely aroma, rich caramel malt with a hint of noble hops and some faint apple in there too.
Malty, nutty, caramel...all the flavors you would expect from a traditional bock beer. But there is a touch of fruitiness (apple or pear, I assume from the yeast) and a persistent twinge of noble hops throughout. Just a bit smoky too. A bit sticky in the finish but ultimately very drinkable, very well-balanced and very tasty. I finished the whole thing with little effort over the course of an hour. Brilliant stuff. According to the website, it’s brewed for the Dutch market but get some if you can.
