Pours a dark amber-ruby with a medium creamy tan head
Aroma is soft sweet malts, earthy caramel and some hazelnut tones.
Flavour is rich caramel maltiness, some nuttiness as well. The hoppiness comes through towards the finish with an herbal bitterness that blends well with the light coffee tones of the malt.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 15, 2009 12 oz bottle (marked as a Vlaemse Bock) served in a clear pint glass. Poured a muddy, deep brown with 5 fingers of thick, slowly dissipating, wet head. Nose is malts, earth, barley, cellar, and light caramel. Taste is very similar, but there is a lingering must on the pallet. This is a very delicious brew. It seems the more Bocks that I have, the more I realize just how much I enjoy this beer style.
