Bavaria Hooghe Bock

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Dunkler Bock
Tilburg, Netherlands

Bottle from trade with jbrus. The clear, copper body has a creamy beige head of low height on top. Aromas of dried fruits, a little alcohol, some cooked vegetables and hops escape the glass. It gives a rather sweetish impression. And it tastes sweet. There’s some cooked vegetables here too, but in the background, overpowered by caramel and some hoppy bitterness, leading to a caramel-sweet finish with a touch of fruits. Medium, slightly warming mouthfeel. A quite nice Dutch bock, but I could do without the DMS. (080731)
