Roasted malts and sweetness in the flavor. Nice. bikesandbeers (408), San Diego, California, USA Aug 10, 2006 Hand labeled bottle form Bert’s Bierhuis, Utrecht. Poured a deep brown with a bocky sweet aroma. flavor was not overly sweet (like so many dutch bocks, but there was a pleasant roastiness, with some slight fruit hints. body was perfect smooth with just a bit or carbonation.
