La Trappe Bockbier

Brewed by De Koningshoeven (Bavaria - Netherlands)
Style: Dunkler Bock
Tilburg, Netherlands

75cl bottle. Thanks a lot Nightfall. Trade. Pours dark browny/reddish with a small creamy white head and lacings. Sweet yeasty and malty nose. Dark fruits and caramel. A bit dusty and matured taste. Medium and smooth palate. Tasty.

It poured a hazy dark brown liquid with a small light brown foam. It had a fairly weak smell of yeast and spices. It had allot of carbonation and a taste of spices, caramell and yeast. An ok beer.

0.33L bottle, big, thick, light beige head, deep, dark brown almost opaque with just a touch of lighter brown hues. Rich malty nose with toasty hints, flavours of dark chocolate, bread, dark fruits and hints of metal and soy. Long fruity aftertaste, medium to big body. Very good and satisying bock.

Bottle: malty, burnt caramel, coffish notes, faint smoke, some butter notes, pretty sweet with a dry finish.

Deep mahogany pour with a small, short-lived, off-white head. The aroma is caramel, toffee, and fig with hints of anise and brown sugar. The flavor is sweet dark fruit with some caramelized brown sugar, cinnamon, and licorice. Sticky, medium-full body with lots of carbonation.

33cl bottle from palladio, new market, rhodes city, greece. hazy brown, large soft smooth light brown head. i spent a minute contemplating if this was a 5 or 4. nice. aroma of cola nut, caramel, raisins. flavor of rasted raisins (that’s a first), brown sugar, dark fruits, spices, roasted grains. ends dark fruty and roasted. this dutch bock is a mix of belgian fruity bruin with the usual dutch twist, and a german dark hard roasted bock, quite an interesting mix, that, unofrtunately is more interesting than aprreciable, but still - nice try. i love to taste something new.

From bottle, amazing red to copper liquid benith a huge beige head, intense aroma of fruits like cherry liquor, prunes, with maltish tones of resembles maple syrup, nice yeasty complexity with some cheese and brandy like alcohol, flavor is less impressive than the aroma, cinnamon cookies, malt, some roastiness and bitter hoppy finish, palate is just medium. With a more powerful body it could be and outstanding beer.
