tap at Arendsnest in Amsterdam - Pours dark amber with an ample head that leaves thick lacing. The aroma is of caramel malt with a touch of dark fruit. It tastes sweet and malty with a little of that fruit coming through. It’s medium bodied and has a slightly bitter, clean finish. It’s a great looking, very tasty bock. Highly recommended.

Dark brown with a large tan head that lasts very well. Somewhat medicinal aroma of licorice and prunes, some bready maltiness. Flavor is fruity and sweet, with notes of nuts, licorice, caramel, wood, some earthiness. Quick finish. Medium bodied. (11.2 oz bottle)

Pours a dark brown with a thick head. Aroma is of cherries, prunes, and some spice. First sip is bitter with some fruit and an unexpected dry finish. More Belgian strong than German bock.

Bottle says "Konings hoeven bock" but the link led me here. Deep, cloudy amber color with a thick and long lasting tan head. Aroma of caramel and bread. Flavor is slightly crisp with hints of apple, caramel and brown sugar with a mildly bitter finish.

Caramel on the nose and a nice deep brown colour. Taste of apples, slight tart of raspberry, spicy herbal seeds, cumin, bitterness, burnt caramel, and even a little bit of tobacco. Finish held out on a bitter note with an added spikiness.

Dark brown with reddish-orange tints. Huge, fine head. Sweet caramel aroma. Rich and malty with Belgian yeast. Malty and rich, with slightly burnt caramel and some alcohol heat. Belgian yeast quality is noticeable. More like a Belgian strong than a traditional bock

Well rounded malts and a decent Belgian quality. Moderate brown color, somewhat standard aesthetic experience. Not my favorite style. Bottle label was Koningshoeven Bock.
