Barbar Winter Bok

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

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.

This beer pours a deep brown/black with a small tan head. The aromas are roasted malt and flat cola. The flavors do not blend well at all; you get mostly carbonation and little flavor. This is a very lacking beer. Cheers!
