PINT bokbier-festival 2003. Very watery, practically undetectable additional flavours. Dry finish. Not the best.

Bottle, sold as Kemphaan Herfstbock. The ABV fits so this must me the right beer. Dark brown color, cloudy with a big frothy head. Only slight malty and roasty aroma. Thin. Flavor has roasted malt, some coffee and licorice. Dry mouthfeel, hoppy licorice aftertaste. Full of nice flavors but lacks balance.

One of the worst at PINT Bokbierfestival in Amsterdam. Sojasauce aroma. Brown color, light brown head that diminishes completely leaving no lace. Light body even watery, light roasted, raisin, hint of lactic, bitter finish. Totally unbalanced.

PINT-bokbier 2003: The Herfstbok from de Kemphaan was a definite drain pour. Taste is light malty, caramelly and hoppy, but this is more the product of a weak amateur.

On tap @ Gollem in Amsterdam - 9-27-2003 Deep copper red in color with a slight head that dissipates quickly. Medium to light body - some good malt flavors. Also mildly smoked in flavor - adds a nice touch. Dangerously quaffable.
