Hunebed Bockbier
Groningse Stadsbrouwerij

A dark brown, reddish beer with a creamy head and lacing on the glass.

Smell is roasted with lots of caramel and molasses and a hint of chocolate. No real hoppy notes. The yeast is a little fruity and a tad earthy.

Taste is roasted with a strong maltbitterness. The burned malts dominate the beer, without making the beer overly burned. A good dose of caramel malt add lots of body making it sticky and sweet.
Although I had some doubts about this beer, I liked it.

A good, lasting head, dark amber coloured, bit pale for Dutch bock.
The smell is fine, strong caramel malt, little burned, I’m almost sorry to take a sip. Taste is little sweet - bitter with also some caramel malt and little burned sensation in it. Good mouthfeel, good carbonation, dry mouthsicky feeling, takes me to a little malt, burned and bitter aftertaste that has a long duration.
Definitely a surprisingly good bock. Slightly different that traditional Dutch bock, I would certainly have another if I had.

BB 25-07-06. Nice and lasting though not overwelming head and a brown to amber collored beer with fine light haze. Nose is clean and bottom fermented, or at least comes like that to me as it is said to be a top fermented one. Caramellic malts, good hops and some sweet flowery note is what I get. Taste is full bodied, majorly bitter, quiet alcoholic and overal well bodied but dry. Fine mouthfeel also with fitting carbonisation and fine rounded taste. Slightly burnt and heavy bitter but that's how a bock IMO should be. Well drinkable to me and worth seeking out... wonder who brewed it though as it is not done at Grunn but somewhere else.

Dark ruby red, scarce foam, and with little persistence.
The smell is caramel, roasted and burnt. Too many alcohol.
At the taste is oily and slippery. Again sweet and caramel, with some fruity points (red -berry fruit, redcurrant).
Little body for the style.
Sweet agina in the aftertaste too, with some bitterness, more from the burnt that from some hop.
