Hertog Jan Bockbier

◎ Appearance

A ruby-red body with clean clarity and moderate carbonation. The head builds to a thick, creamy collar that clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing on each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with caramel and toasted malt, warm and inviting without sharp edges. Subtle bread and toffee notes emerge beneath, while the clean fermentation character leaves room for the malt to breathe.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with pronounced caramel sweetness and creamy malt texture across the mid-palate. Moderate noble hop bitterness arrives mid-way through, finishing with a balanced interplay of residual sweetness and gentle drying bitterness that extends into the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering caramel and a subtle boozy warmth. Drying bitterness leaves a pleasant, malty edge on the palate.
