Bottle 33 cl. Pours a dark reddish brown with a tan head and an aroma malts, nuts and toffee. The taste is plain, with malts, toffee and some chocolate. I don’t really like this bock.

Bottle from Bierzwerg web shop. Hazy dark brown color with small white head. Aroma of red fruit, toffee, caramel. Taste, rasppberies, roasted malt, vanilla, cinnamon. Sweet finish. Drinkable beer.

Draught: Small to medium vast light brown head on top of a deep dark brown to black colored beer. Smell spices, light roasted malts, nuts, barley and herbs. Taste is a good firm bitterness with hints of roasted malts, raisin, barleys, nuts, sweets, roasted grains. Nice, soft and smooth! Roasted bitter aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium to fuller body and a creamy sticky texture. Well balanced, tasty and very smooth.

Cloudy deep mahogany color. Smooth finish. An exquisite example of the style from a great brewer.

Ok...all look though. Deep dark beer with nice head. However its aroma and taste is lacking somewhat, but this maybe due to the strength of everything else on the board!

Sampled on tap at the brew pub. Pours an almost opaque, mahogany brown with a creamy, off white head. Nose is a little yeasty, some dark malt, a little sugar, otherwise mild. Flavor is really solid, dark pumpernickel bread, sweet, malty, yeasty. Flavor finishes with a great chocolate note. Medium bodied, dry finish. Wish this had a better nose because the rest of this is strong.

Draught De Prael Proeflokaal Hazy dark brown coloured with a small beige head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel, dried fruits and bread. Sweet and fruity flavour of caramel, dried fruits and bread with notes of liquorice. Sweet and bready finish.

Bottle at Arendsnest Amsterdam. Nice dark amber color, off-white head. Smell malts, yeast, dark malts, little bit musty. Taste sweet, little bit smoke, lightly some fruits. Good mouthfeel.

Bottled. A muddy brown coloured beer with a tiny off-white pool of head. A sweet plummy boozy fruity nose with raspberry too. A strong fruity taste. A little burnt malts. A very sweet and fruity doppelbock and a bit odd for it.
