Pours a huge frothy head and has a dark amber appearance. Leaves some pretty thick dirty lacing. Aromas of dark roasted malts, bready malts and earthy hops. Flavours of roasted malts, caramel and toasty notes. Some slight buttery hints. Medium retetntion, average carbonation. Not too bad but a little disappointed.

Although bock's can be too sweet sometimes, this one is not. Nice caramel taste, nicely carbonated and good foam. Somewhat bitter aftertaste, good beer. Will drink again.

6 pack of Van Steenberge beers
The beer poured a transparent reddish brown colour with a thin white head. The aroma was nuts, caramel, and yeast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is yeasty, with caramel malt, and bitter grains. Not very bock-like.

Sampled on 3/13/2009. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a medium brown color from a 750ml corked bottle. Large to medium sized white/beige foamy head, with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is caramel, fruity, some yeast and some banana. A medium bodied BSA. The malts are caramel and sweet, some banana and clove and bright yeasts. The hops are earthy and a touch floral. Nice balance. Decent carbonation. An earthy character emerges as this one warms. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Easily produces a three-finger thick, amber-brownish-tinged, tan colored head in my 25cl tulip glass, despite a careful pour. The beer is a brilliantly clear, deeply amber hued, red color when held up to the light, but is otherwise a dark, concentrated cherry color. The aroma is quite sweet smelling with notes of blackberry jam, cloves, concentrated fruit-caramel and a touch of toasty, yet definitely caramelized, malty / bready notes. The aroma is fairly enjoyable, though it does seem a bit too sweet to be really nice; the sweetness does accentuate the distinct fruitiness though.

The beer has a medium thick heft to it, but is not nearly as sweet as the aroma might have suggested. Still at first blush the beer does not seem complex enough to carry the simplistic, fruit nuanced, sweetness that is here. Flavor notes of currants, sweet plums, raisins, a hint of cloves and even some tart notes that are also evocative of plums or even apples. Somehow this beer really seems to fade for me, it is not so much that it doesn't leave anything lingering on the palate, it is just that it seems forgettable. I am not quite too sure why I feel this way; part of this is the mouth feel, while it does have some heft to it, the beer just seems to disappear on my about half way through each sip. The most prominent flavors are those of the concentrated, sweet fruit notes, which are just too simplistic for me to really get into.

Bottled. Murky dark brown colour with huge fluffy head. Aroma is malts, alcohol, yeast and earth. Flavour is caramel, malts, yeast and earth in a very nice balance. Some spicyness in aftertaste along with some perfumeness and caramel.

Pours a murky brown with a foamy tan head. Took a few pours and a 'head dissipation time' to empty the bottle into 2 of the funkiest glasses I've ever seen. Flavor is malty, cutrust, and sweet. All around A-OK for a bock.

Had at Vineyards in Ottawa, Ontario with a date written on the back label, as 12/05/06 (hoping it is the date it was bottled). Pours a cloudy brown colour with slight beige in it. Very nice creamy off-white with devine retention. Tiny bubble carbonation forms all around the glass. Lacing is silky. Aromas of cider vinegar with fruit (green and red apples) and lightly nutty. Light to medium-bodied. Nutty start that quickly turns into a sour middle and finishes with the fruit, leaving an apple aftertaste. Quite mild overall, and watery, but a good-looking beer with its great head that last the whole experience.

Corked magnum bottle Pours a clouded deep copper colored ale into the glass...2 finger rocky cap reduced to a sticky surface lace and stays the drink, laces the side well enough. Very effervescent from bottle conditioning. Aroma is of musty burlap and some sweetness over fermenting fruits and almonds...nice nose. Moderate malt decernment, medium-light body, peppery mouth feel, spritzy-yeasty-fruity character. Profile: Up front some sweetness from caramelized malts, then a rush of sour musty tastes much like spoiled fruits...finish is crisp and spritzy but yeasty with the fruits punching through and a light bittering from the hopping....yeasty-sweet aftertaste. I’m not partial to this one...sharp edges, too yeasty and undeveloped and I’m double pissed off because they fooled me into thinking it was a bock beer.
