De Molen Borefts Bock (2007)

Brewery tap. Dark brown color. Light caramelaroma. Rather dry, earthy hoppy flavor with licorice and laurel. Roasted malt. Long licorice and roast aftertaste. Liked it better as the bocks in 2005 and 2006. Unconventional, but well brewed Dutch bock. 75 cl corked bottle, 6,2%. Malt, licorice and cardemom in the aroma. malty sweetish flavor with pepper, licorice and cardemom. Hint of chocolate in the aftertaste. Well balanced beer, way off the beaten track for bocks.

Bottle@Home. Aroma is not very strong but nice with chocolate and black berries. Dark brown color, light brown head, good lace. Very falvorful in contrast to the aroma. Loads of roasted chocolate and pretty bitter. Also hints of licorice and black currant in there. Full mouthfeel. As a beer nice but as a Dutch Bock excellent.

Bottle. [thank you Skortila/Caesar]
Pours deep, red mahogany with a medium, frothy, off-white head. Quite fizzy and it disappears quickly. Aroma is lightly roasted, good dried fruits, and a great chocolate note. Medium to low carbonation, great, light mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderfully balanced, very drinkable, good chocolate, some slight coffee, light raisins and a weak roasted tones. Great bock.

Draught at Arednsnest. Creamy off-white excellent mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Moderate hoppy and moderate hoppy aroma. Powerfull bitter flavor. Long complex spicey heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate. great beer.

Tap @ PINT bokbierfestival. Hazy brown color, medium head. Aroma of hop, roasted malt, some chocolat. Nicely balanced taste of malty chocolat and coffee, and bitterness. Very nice bock.
