Mar 10, 2009 Bottle @ Publick House, Brookline, MA. Pours a reddish-amber with a light, tan head. Aroma is phenolic with caramel malt and dark fruit detectable as well. Taste is caramel malt and sweet notes with dark fruit characteristics at the end. Beer is relatively smooth, and not bad overall.

Feb 28, 2009 I must have gotten a bad batch or a leaky bottle, because mine poured dark with absolutely zero head or carbonation. THe bockish notes were there, but this wasn’t a cask ale so it was pretty much shit, to put it nicely. A couple of sips then threw it out.

Feb 18, 2009 750ml bottle: Mine poured a caramel-amber color. It was fairly clear and had a small tan head on it. This has a very nice aroma. Lots of caramel malt, raisins, other fruits. The taste is a bit of a surprise. There is a bit of a bitterness to it. There is an underlying sweetness also. Some earthy and pine notes to the taste. Also there is caramel, some fruits and a bit of roastiness to the finish. Very Nice!

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle. Blackish brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is rich, spirity and malty, and the flavour is rich, deeply roasted and malty with a very bitter finish. Overall a nice roasted and malty beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Rich, complex and malty ale. Notes of toffee, chocolate, caramel and prunes and figs in the nose. Rich, thick mouthfeel, but not quite bock level. Still attains bock level melanoidian complexity, and has additional notes of raisin, earth and tobacco in the flavor. Finish is sweet, but slight bitterness and has a noble, earthy and piney hop character.

Jan 23, 2009 The Vlaemse bock. Reddish brown color. Light carbonation. Light toffee-sweet malts and a touch of spicy hops. Notes of cigar tobacco in the nose and aroma. Lighter in palate for a so-called bock.
