Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Deep golden, clear, small persistent foamy layer, bisquits, sweet pale malt and stronger herbal hops in the nose, plus a tinge of alcohol; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; heavy pale malt and distinctive hops in the slightly alcoholic, warming, a bit brandy-like finish. Good and strong........

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Clear golden with an off-white head. Malty aroma with some acidity. Medium body, malty. Has a metallic and acidic tang. Afraid this is infected. The finish is dry. 040408

Clear golden with tiny short lasting head. Sweet fruity aroma with light sour notes. Sweet and slightly sour flavor with grainy notes. Ends slightly sour.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with dusty notes of hops and cardboard. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fresh citrus and over ripe fruits.

50 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with small floaties. Lacing white head. Light yeasty aroma and mild spiced. Flavour is mild yeasty and with a nice spice note. Light warming finish with a mild malt base. Medium sweet and medium body.

Bottle, thanks pivnizub. Cloudy orange with a few yeastclumps, lively carbonation, fine golden cream. Sweet cookiedough aroma with preserved apricots and a few flowers. A sour grainy flavor note, citrus, still hops detectable. Very dry - I wonder if it still is good - very hard up against the BB date, but it is supposed to be a bock....

Big thanks to pivnizub for the bottle. The bottle looks good, but not really modern. The beer in the glass is okay, a little bit turbid. The beer starts very sourish, becomes more and more malty. Where is the sweetness of a good heller bock? It’s not more than an average bock.

bottle, traded with MoritzF - thank you! Golden colour, slightly hazy, lovely creamy head which is quite large. Creamy and very pleasant mouthfeel. Flavours of herbs, malt and honey, well rounded by very pleasant resiny and grassy bitter hops. Extremely well-balanced and spicy. A touch of Belgian String Ale in the flavour. Very full-bodied and spicy - a great one!

(bottle, purchased at the brewery) Clear, deep golden colour with a medium sized, minimal off-white foamy head. Sweet cara-malty, slightly bready aroma with notes of liquorice and a tinge of herbal, spicy hops. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft and well-matured carbonation. Caramel-malty, moderately bready taste with herbal accents from the beginning; bitter-sweet, solid malty finish a well-rounded hoppy bitterness. The alcohol shows up towards the finish with a good warming effect.

Bottled. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is mainly malty and also slightly earthy. Flavour is raisins, malts, some warming alcohol and a bit of grass. A warming, yet pleasant bock.
