Apr 17, 2008 Tapped at Abbot On the Hill. A great haul for them. Pours an active dark brown with white crown. Bold malt, and yeast aroma, including chocolate malt. Carbonation, natural, does not quit. In your face taste,a bit rochfort/cocacola caramel like, some nutmeg. Overall not too complex, good drinkability.

Apr 13, 2008 Deep chestnut body, huge lasting beige head; Pleasant but quite innocent nose with a slight acid touch; Big bubbled carbonation in a simple Trappist body with a bock touch, a bit strange; Malty a little cane sugary sweet finish, malty and fruity aromas. Drinkable but not really interesting.

Apr 10, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting as Konings Hoeven Bock Bier. From bottle pours a clear dark copper amber brew with a moderate medium tan head that has some nice retention and sticky/spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some dry nobel hop character and a touch of dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium to full bodied, some moderate alcohol on the back-tongue with a semi-dry caramel malt flavor. Finish is semi-dry with some mild hop bitterness that quickly disappears.

Apr 1, 2008 Poured it from a large bottle with a cork. The beer was extremely carbonated and the foam built up fast. The aroma was not strong, mostly malt. The taste was sweet, moderate bitterness but the carbonation made it feel unpleasant to drink. Didn’t like it that much.

Mar 24, 2008 Corked and caged bottle. Large frothy, semi-fizzy tan head, fair amount of lacing, transparent, very little carbonation, and a reddish hue. The nose was malty, caramel, hint of toffee, and some fruityness. The flavor was malty, caramel, some fruityness, a light hoppiness and a dry finish.Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Quaffable, easy to drink but nothing outstanding was noted.Worth a try IMO.
