Barbar Winter Bok

Brewed by Brasserie Lefebvre
Style: Dunkler Bock
Rebecq-Quenast, Belgium

Dark reddish color with nice tan head. The aroma is full of spices and fruits like coriander, orange and grape. The flavor is similar, medium body with medium carbonation. The honey gives very intense fruity character to this beer. Not to be compared with the other european Dunkler Bocks that i tasted so far.Interesting one... --Updated rating: Dark ruby amber color with diminishing fizzy light brown head. Strawberry, honey aroma. harsh alcoholic initial feel. Honey, sweet malts, sugar candy and dark grapes in the flavor. Quite thin bodied with fizzy carbonation.

Bottle: Color colored, huge fizzy sand colored head, settles quickly, minor lacing.   Muted citrus like spices on the nose, slight Necco wafer... maybe the black, brown, or white one.   Thinking... yeah, the black one.   Not getting much Bock aspect to this one.   Flavor is slightly fruity, some of that aformentioned Necco wafers.   Light for a Bock.   Certainly spicy though.   The color doesn’t match, by that I mean I expected a bit more malt flavor, roasty, maybe some dark pitted fruit.   Drinks very light, spicy, with a hefty dose of sweetness.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Does pick up a little bit of heftiness at the finish.   Spices still dominate tho.   Not your traditional Dunkler Bock.   More in common with a Witbier.

Very good beer. Dark, cloudy caramel color with a fairly firm tannish head that leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma fruity and malty with a hint of spiciness. Flavor somewhat complex but very well-balanced - roasted malt, sweet fruits and just enough of the spices and honey. Very nice on the palate and smooth finish with a pleasant aftertaste.

0.33 l bottle. Dark reddish brown color. Flowery honey, chocolate, clove and pepper in the aroma. Sweetish, chocolatey, clovey and fruity honeyish flavor. Balanced and pleasant.

Appears like the picture. Aroma is spiced with coriander and orange, notes of chocolate, caramel, hint of darker fruits. Medium bodied, fairly sweet, some alcohol in the finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle, 33cl. Taste this the first time @ Bonte dag HOP dec. 2006. Red brown color with a beige head. Aroma yeast, sweet malts, little spice. Medium body. Taste sweet, bit spice, candis sugar, malt, yeast, fruit. Nice beer.

bouteille brune de 330ml. belle couleur brune avec mousse épaisse, des reflets de rouge sont présents dans la bière. nez discret de malt, de caramel,en bouche tout est est rondeur, onctueuse et longue. bonne bière agréable, l’alcool ne se fait pas sentir.

Bottle from Bier Tempel, Brussels. Dark, spicy beer, robust enough to tackle the honey. Warming. Fine for sipping on a frosty night.
