This is a bock I had to get used to first. Another advice is not to drink it too cold. I’d say about 12’Celsius would be best. It’s quite complex en bitter compared to most Dutch bocks nowadays. Light sweet, roasted, butterscotch.

Malty (roasted, coffee/chocolate) aroma. Hazy, brown-red appearance with an off-white/brown, creamy, lasting head. Taste is initialy sweet becomes more bitter towards the finish. Quite malty (roasted, coffee, caramel, some chocolate) There is some fruit (oranges) in the middle. Good body. Very much La Trappe.

Bottle (Koningshoeven Bock): Misty ruby, nice head and lacing. Nose of caramel, fruit (fig) and lots of bread. Burnt marshmallow afterthought. The flavor is malty with burnt sugar. Nice malty complexities throughout the flavor that just vanish in the finish. Nice drinker though.

Dark chocolate brown body with red tinges and a large light tan head. Pepper on the nose also dried fruit and some spice. Sweet smooth taste without being over the top, some butterscotch, meaty characters, medium body, coffee and well balanced. Served a tad too cold to fully appreciate this drop.

(bottle - 330 ml) Clear brown color with a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Lots of plums and caramel up front. Flavor starts with a sweet and fruity taste mixing with some mild spice and dark malts. There’s a nice and semi-sweet cocoa middle along with some more fruits and spices. A nice yeasty finish comes up and leaves a mild sweetness.
