Bottle. Unclear dark brown with a big, slowly-diminishing, beige head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, plums and other dark fruits. Sweet malty taste with some caramel, toastiness, some nuts, light licorice hints, dark fruits, a bit of spiciness and alcohol and metal notes. Medium-bodied.

Pours dark amber to red with a thick foamy to creamy head with good retention. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel and a bit alcohol. Wonderful taste that starts bitter and hoppy with sweetness and malt kicking in just a bit later, very well balanced. Finish is long, dry and bittersweet. Good carbonation and a creamy texture. Love this.

Mild but complex aroma of sweet spices, toasted nuttiness and a little warming alcohol. The flavour also has alcohol and some gentle caramel and toastedness. Warming and nicely complex but a little dull.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours a clear mahogany beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness, fruit with notes of alcohol. The flavor is malt, sweetness and caramel. The palate is sweet. Overall a good beer.

Tap 30cl trappist cup. Toasted head and brwn colour; with caramel aroma. Sweetness to the palate. From my point of view it is not a real bock but a "special" trappist beer. Easy to drink and favourable to finish the night...

(750 ml bottle (2007) from 1828 Vintage House) Pours dark clear tea-colored brown with a very tall, quickly rising tan head with each pour. Aroma of chocolate and brown sugar with Band Aid. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, lightly pebbly and maybe lightly chalky, perhaps a touch fizzy. Flavor of chocolate, light brown sugar and lightly sour, tangy red wine. Quite phenolic initially. Also kind of hot and boozy all around for just a 7% beer. This bottle may be slightly off, a little infected. Kind of a strange example of a dunkler bock, seems like there is some Belgian influence (which I’m not sure is beneficial in this case).

hmmm, aroma of french crapes with strawberry jam with some alcohol through it. Head is big and uneven on a ruby red beer. The taste is good too, but the hoppyness is a little bit too much.
