| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 14, 2007 Thx to Joris again who made this Bock marathon possible. 3rd experience of the day. Bottle conditioned and poured a hazy dark brown beer with a beautifull head, little creamy and little lacing. In the nose I sense a faint odour of cement (mastic) quite unpleasant, some candi sugar and chocolate. Taste is way over roasty, chocalate and licorice flavours are dominant. Slight hoppy and dry bittery aftertaste.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Alcohol too overpowering for my taste and it’s also quite bitter. Smell is great with chocolate and banana, foamy head is nice to bite in. One of the better Grunn beers, but hard for your insides. SaintMatty (1236), Tallinn, Estonia

Het schuim was zo verdwenen. Jammer. De smaak was erg goed. Ook al drink je dan een herfst bier in de lente. Magicdave6 (5558), London, Greater London, England
