bottle, pours light amber with a tall off white head. Carmel malt aroma. Malty body ends with an awkward penny in the mouth metalic finish. Mildly bitter.

mutz (123) - NETHERLANDS - DEC 1, 2011
Donkerbruin met een flinke kraag die redelijk snel verdwijnt. Ruikt friszoet en licht moutig. Weinig body. De smaak is lichtzoet en en verdwijnt te snel. Geen topper wat mij betreft.

Vac (2442) - Soon to be back in San Diego, California, USA - AUG 17, 2002
UPDATED: NOV 8, 2003 A sour malty aroma underlined by hops leads you into the strong malt flavor with a slightly hoppy finish.

Koelschtrinker (7060) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - MAY 30, 2011
Der Antrunk ist weich und mit gewürzigen und etwas trockenen hellen Malznoten, die sich im Mittelteil stärker zusammenfinden und ein angenehmes und gleichmäßiges Aroma ergeben, das aber problemlos noch stärker sein könnte. Das Bier wird zwar noch ein wenig intensiver, kann damit aber nicht überzeugen. Zudem zieht die Trockenheit die Vollmundigkeit herunter. So ist das Bier auf Dauer eintönig und wird zum Ende langweilig. Es folgt ein malzbetonter muffiger Abgang. 10/8/8/8/11/8

Borresteijn (2757) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - AUG 7, 2008
On tap @ De Geuzen, autumn 2007. Orange/amber colour, white head. Nose is malts, yeast and spice. Taste is disappointing, more like an amber beer than a bock. Metallic, toffee, malty sweet. Soft mouthfeel. Expected a lot more from this.

kerolasa (377) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - OCT 22, 2011
Clear dark brown red beer without head. Smells malty and sweet, and taste is in align with that. What a disappointment usually la Chouffe does quite nice beers, but this exception. Perhaps I am just not Bock compliant?

GSAP (84) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 18, 2012
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.

ogivlado (4444) - Zagreb, CROATIA - OCT 11, 2007
On tap at Bier Cafe Het Elfde Gebod.
Dark reddish/brown coloured, medium sized head, malty nose. The aroma is malty and slight hoppy with weak fruity and toffee notes. Metallic finish. Quite disappointing beer.

tomer (973) - Rishon Le Zion, ISRAEL - MAY 20, 2009
At a tasting, thanks DSG. Big head with big bubbles that stays for quite a while, lots of carbonation, clear light coppery colour, aroma of mushroom, stale bread and honey wax. Light malty flavour with a strange bitter sour sensation. Overall a fairly light bodied beer, i expected something with a bigger body and personality.
