4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A soft, malty brew. Tastes like a dubbel. Fruity aroma. Dark orange coloration. Tried this at the Pint Bokbierfest, 2011.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice full brown body and beige head. Nice rich aroma with nutty base malts, caramel and toast but certainly enough hop backup. Nice. Taste is smooth, active body and enough bitterness. Well made! Probably my favourite of the festival (that I tasted). (On tap at Utrechts Bokbierfestival, thanks to Jos for getting this :-)

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Daily Delis. Dark amber body with poppy thin head. Nose is roasty malts, sweet, fruity, yeasty. Taste is caramel, malts, gets smokier, then vanilla chocolate notes. Pretty interested. But also a general burned taste to it. Certainly warms you up just fine. Some bitter in the finish.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
330 ml stubby bottle, at home. Poured into a snifter. ABV 6.9%
Deep chestnut colout, with some lively activity in the glass. On top, two full fingers of off-white head with very good retention.
Aroma is mostly light roasted malts along with some caramel.
Very nice taste, roasted malts at first and slighty sweet, turns to bitter pretty fast with very tasty chocolate notes. On the aftertaste a light metallic flavour, but nothing too offensive.
Meduim to full body, carbonation a bit above average.
Overall a nice bok beer, more bitter than the sweet bocks I was used to but delicious. I’m glad I picked this up.
