UPDATED: AUG 17, 2008 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Very dark red, almost opaque, sticky irregular head. Big sweet malty aroma. Quite watery palate, doesn’t feel like a strong beer at all. Malty body, some slight fruity esters, but more roasty body. Finish is burnt. Very drinkable.

Ruby red color, small beige head. Grassy hops, toasted caramelly aroma. Slightly toasted, grassy, caramelly, very typical Dutch bock.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A 2002 vintage at ‘t Arendsnest. Deep hazy ruby beer with a lasting and more than honest-sized off-white head. At 5 years old, this is still quite aromatic and the oxidation remains limited. Brightly fruity, cherry-like malts with nutty notes being its only aging features. Where it suffered the most is predictably in its body that feel thinned out, but still offers plenty of soft carbonation to sweep the caramelly flavours’ sweetness. Well done, but I’m still trying to figure out where to position dutch boks with regards to german bocks and this one did not hint at many differences.
