Murky brown, very unfiltered. like iced tea. Small head. Smoke, raisin, apple pie and tea. Taste doesn’t have the smokeyness but is fruity sweet of malts and with hoppy dry end. (On tap at Botermarkt Bierfestival Haarlem)
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Wässrig maziger Antrunk, wenig getreidig, etwas muffig. Das Bier bleibt laff und kann keine würzigen Aromen freisetzen, erst zum Ende wird das Malz etwas intensiver, da ist es aber fast schon zu spät. Naja... 10/7/8/8/8/8

4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
The best Bock I drank this winter (2010-2011). It has a roasted, hoppy flavor, some chocolate but certainly not too much. It is a very balanced beer, bittersweet, warm. liked it better on bottle than on draught.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
10th February 2011
Bottle at ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam. A 2008 bottle. Cloudy brown beer, small tan head, Light palate - slightly soft and slightly dry. The malt has a semi aged feel. Finishes with an odd apple and pears note and a carbonated bite. Maybe this bottle is a tad too old or is just an odd (but quite drinkable) beer?

On tap at Foreign Bar, Bedford Beer Festival ’10. Brown with a small off white head. Strawy malt aroma. Taste is malty, leafy and leathery. Mid bitter finish. Not bad.
