De Molen Borefts Bock (2007)

Thanks to Solan for sharing at CCB. Pours a medium coppery amber with a thin dying head. Aroma is toasted malts, soy, salty, meaty, adn wet cardboard oxidation. Flavor is sweet and salty sherry, soy, toasted malts, nutty light chocolate, more cardboard. Oxidized quite a bit- and tough to drink.

Thanks to Solan. Copper color with little head. Lots of cocoa, toffee, malts and other sweet things. Medium bodied.

Courtesy bierkoning. Brown/amber/orange with some visible carbonation but no head. Nice malty brew- cocoa, cookie, light toffee, toast, light roast, lightly bittersweet, lightly dry on the end. Any hops have faded in the back of my fridge. Medium body, smooth. Would love to sit down with a big ol mug of this brew.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe/jbrus. Pours hazy deep orange with a gone head. Dense malty and roasted aroma with a wineous note. Nice liqourice and roasted malty flavoured with a mild bitterness just coming through. Extremely smooth and tasty on the malt flavours and nice counterbalanced with hops. Nice and smooth roasted finish with more than just plain roasted malt - light spiced.

Bottled (THT 12/11/2008). Hazy nut brown color, brown head. Chocolaty, roasted aroma. Toasted malty, grassy, chocolaty, extremely balanced. Maybe a bit too yeasty, but a good beer.

This vintage 2007 was enjoyed late December 08. It is beautiful, red-brown and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has sweetness and notes of roasted malt, caramel, candy sugar and a little nuts and dark fruits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of roasted malt, caramel, candy sugar, plum, raisin and a little nuts. The alcohol is only present as a warming feeling in this very, very nice bock.
