Style: Doppelbock
Roermond, Netherlands

Serve in Dimpled mug, Stein, Stem glass

Creme denso e medianamente persistente. Coloração vermelho-escura linda. No aroma, chocolate, madeira e café. O ótimo sabor acompanha o aroma, com sugestões de fumo de rolo, avelãse mais malte torrado. A carbonatação é baixa, mas não prejudica o conjunto. O final é longo e tostado. Sem dúvida, uma BOCK que oferece muito mais do que pede o estilo.

Dark ruby brown body with short head. Dark fruits on the aroma with it coming through in the taste as well, with just a bit of pepper and spice. Drinkable but have appreciated others better.

33 cl swing top. Opaque mahogany with a creamy, enduring disc of foam. Aromas of raisin, plum, dark cherry, dark toffee, earthy grain and spices. Taste is caramel, date, fig, dark cherry, plum, and hints of spicy dry grass and red wine. Medium-heavy body is smooth with low carbonation, and is plenty sweet but has some dryness on the finish.

2012-01-08. Very dark brown body with a tiny beige head. 3+ Malty flavour with modest alcohol, toasty malt accents, hints of nutty notes. Mild aroma, malt, toasty malt accents. Smooth average plus to medium palate is lightly carbonated. Simple enjoyable bock. Bottle from LCBO, Toronto

Aroma is verwarmd rood fruit met wat karamel. Smaak is licht zoet bij het eerste moment, en dan meteen komt er grapefruit en kardemom doorheen; jammer dat de smaak niet verleid tot meer en nog een keer. De bijna 8% is niet te merken. Textuur is aangenaam, weinig kraag.

Pours hazy copper with a beige head. Aroma is breaddy malt, nuts and raisin. Flavour is breaddy malt, raisin, nuts and light pine.

Sample at Borefts Beer Festival 2011. Pours a clear and mahogany beer with a weak offwhite head. The aroma is malt and caramel. The flavor follows the nose with additonal nuts and weak alcohol. The palate is sweetness with notes of bitterness. Overall a good beer.

UPDATED: NOV 20, 2011 (swing top Bottle)Excellent stuff. A drinkable robust bock , if that makes any god damn sense . Nose is nice earthy soy sauce , rich malt caramel accents . So easy to drink ,its a very warming and easy on the palate ,despite this treacly boozy nature. Large sliches of sticky malt.raw booze.toffee .honey . earthy hops ..late dry finish. Good shit.

Christ on a bike! What a beer. Matured for a year and in at 7.8%. Huge malt aroma, smells like a bag of malt. Vinious body, deep and dangerous. However, great balance with plenty of spicy hops. A really serious beer, which needs sipping.
