Bottle at home. Clear deep amber pour, foamy light brown head. Aroma is dry, spicy and with some red fruits and molasses. Flavor is slightly roasted, licorice, spicy and with a hint of red wine. A bit watery and thin, but a well balanced and nice flavor. Decent macro bock.

cloudy red brown liquid with a minimal head, malty aroma, faint caramel, bread, some banana... sweet taste, nothing special, short finish

Nice spiced aroma. Slightly disappointing afterwards, dry finish with some of those nice spices. Dusty. Bottle from De Schans in Uithoorn.

Roodbruin bier met matige lichte kraag. Vrij zoet, beetje honing en kruiden. Bittere nasmaak.

Pours a brown beer with big foam. Not a very good Bock, taste is rather bitter with a much to boring aroma. I was slightly let down.

Filtered, dark ruby body with nice light tan head. Caramel, spices, wholewheat bread and leather. Light bitter and sweetness - well balanced. Not very interesting though. (33cl bottle)

Süßer aber nicht übertriebender Malzantrunk. Etwas schokoladenmalzig, weich, aber auch etwas wässrig. So ist das Bier ausgewogen, könnte aber noch intensiver sein. Erst spät wird das Bier würzig, langt dann aber richtig zu. Störend ist bei der herben Unterstützund der Kräuternoten aber die Süße, die zwar einerseits die Wässrigkeit verdrängt, andererseits aber so schmeckt, als seit das Bier nicht langegenug gelagert worden. Isngesamt gut. 8/9/10/9/10/9

Bottle. A light sweet aroma, light malty, weak smell of licorice. Th head is very small, fizzy and beige with a short duration. The body is brown. The taste is light malty with some chocolate. The body is medium strong, dry and light creamy with a flat carbonation. A good bock which could have a little bit more carbonation or body.
