Bottle. Light red dark orange colored beer, white head. Smell malts, light caramel, light smoke, nuts and light fruit. Nice soft taste. Average carbo and body.

Bottled. The aroma has caramel malts, hints of smoke, light touch of raisin. Clear, brown coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste is light bitter, bit sweetish, caramellic and hoppy. Nice bock, light smokey touch makes it excellent.

Bottle: Big white foamy head on top of a beautiful ruby red colored beer. Smell malts, grains, caramel, light toasty and dark spices. Taste is spicy and tingling on the tongue, lots of pepper, malts and dark spices, hints of sweets, hops and dark fruit.

On tap at Pint Bokbierfestival 09. Dark reddish brown colour, off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, light spices. Flavour is roasted malts, almost burnt, light spicy with coriander, light smoke, good bitter finish. Medium bodied. Good.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2010 Bottle from De Bierkoning. Brewed by Praght. Deep dark brown color. Maltaroma with pineapple. Malty sweet, soft roasty flavor with a touch of smoke and a hint of cheap Scotch whisky. The whisky malt gives this standard bock just the extra edge.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear reddish brown with a creamy off-white head. Sweet caramellish nose. Medium body, dry roast, a whiff of smoke and a dry and bitter finish. A somewhat unusual Bock. 170910

Bottle:Deep amber coloured, hazy, slowly collapsing mid-sized tanned head; toasty and caramelly nose, a tinge of vanilla detectable, aromatic hops underneath; robust bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; drier hoppy - a bit harsh - finish with traces of dark malt and smoke(?). Solid brew, could be better balanced.....

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel yeasty aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with some yeasty hints. Has a fruity malty spicy caramel finish.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Dark brown body with thin white head. Malty and slightly smoky nose. Taste of ham, then smoke. Malty finish. A bit watery but also quite crisp. The Smoke is too much for me, not as sweet as boks often are. But nice nonetheless.
