Fin (3382), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Nov 2, 2009 Bottle at ’In De Wildemaan’, Amsterdam, 28-10-09 Pours dark brown with a light beige head. The aroma as Loz pointed out is pear drops and barley sugar. Taste is barley sugar, dark malt, some candi floss and a touch of marzipan, touch sweet shop possibly but still its most enjoyable. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6 Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA Sep 21, 2009 Very earthy aroma - much like chocolate, fresh soil (the good smelling soil) and sweetness. Notes of earth, coffee, and cola in this one. Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Sep 12, 2009 A little surprised that this is labelled a Dubbel
Pours a dark amber-ruby with a medium creamy tan head
Aroma is soft sweet malts, earthy caramel and some hazelnut tones.
Flavour is rich caramel maltiness, some nuttiness as well. The hoppiness comes through towards the finish with an herbal bitterness that blends well with the light coffee tones of the malt.
mbuisman79 (134), Amsterdam, Netherlands Aug 21, 2009 Ruby Red with a great aroma. Flavor is very flowery but also has the bocklike smoothness. ljay6880 (132), , Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2009 12 oz bottle (marked as a Vlaemse Bock) served in a clear pint glass. Poured a muddy, deep brown with 5 fingers of thick, slowly dissipating, wet head. Nose is malts, earth, barley, cellar, and light caramel. Taste is very similar, but there is a lingering must on the pallet. This is a very delicious brew. It seems the more Bocks that I have, the more I realize just how much I enjoy this beer style.
