Gulpener HerfstBock

On tap at 30e PINT bokbierfestival (Oct 2007 Amsterdam). Dark brown body with white head. Malty and sweet nose. Taste of caramel, sweet. Some bitter. Sweet in the finish. Pretty good.

Bottle 30cl. @ [ Back2Bock Tasting ].
Clear medium amber red color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, nutty, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081115]

My Bottom Line:
Rich berry-laced caramel malt character exudes from this generous Dunkler Bock, before fading away into earthy hop bitterness.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam tops the clear deep mahogany, drawing beautiful lacing.
-Carbonation is frothy, which alleviates the muscular maltiness and its dextrins.
-The flavor profile works quite well with the oncoming maderization (this bottle was over a year old).
-Herbal, grassy hops cannot balance out the sweet malt profile until the aftertaste.
-Light roastiness and toastiness appears within.

Aroma is of sweet, ripe fruits. Flavour is mega sweet. Alike to a fruit syrup with a mixture of autumnal red fruits as a base.
