La Boquette

Brewed by Les 3 Fourquets
Style: Dunkler Bock
Gouvy, Belgium

Serve in Dimpled mug, Snifter

A reddish amber ale with a thick off white head. A good hoppy aroma, coriander notes, light curacao. In mouth, a light caramel with pinhey hops, light cloves. A surprisingly hoppy and pleasant ale. On tap at In de Wildeman, Nov. 2006.

Light lager nose with hint of syrup, hazy amber color, sticky head. Weak caramelly malt, slight spice end. Thin body and quick profile. Dissappointing overall (I expected more) but no bad qualities and surely drinkable.

Draught Drab olive-orange beer, small but tenacious very white head. Very grainy, corn flakes, honey aroma. Honey-ish, bready and quite malty; grassy finish. Medium bodied, quite slick, quite marked by its carbonation. Amongst the nicest I’ve had so far from Les 3F. I’d be hard pressed, however, to call this impressive.

On tap at the brewpub in Gouvy: Deep orange color, great medium frothy head. Grainy fresh nose, apicot and yeast also in taste. Lot’s of thyme. Interesting but quite thin.

This was the first beer in this new experiment, with guestrecipes in this dependace of Achouffe. Good beer, nice colour(although it’s no bockbeer). A little sweet carmael i the nose, malts and spices are available in the taste.

On tap Kafe Belgie Utrecht. Aroma of caramel malts and spices. Hazy, orange-brown coloured with a lasting, white head. Taste is sweet, malty, some spices, quite well balanced taste. Smooth with some fruits. Not really a bock indeed, but a very drinkable brew.

Light caramel and uninteresting aroma. Hazy, orange color, creamy off-white head, good lace. Medium sweet, fruity, orange, light bitter, soft. Very nice but not like a standard bock at all.

Tap, cafe De Zotte, Amsterdam. Slightly hazy light brown color, short off-white head. Aroma was a bit like la Chouffe, so sweet hoppy, bit malty, not really like a bock. Nice sweet malty taste, bit caramelly, some toffee. Lingering palate.
