Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie, 12th November 2011 consumed at home 25th November 2011. Pours puddle brown, little powdery, even a tad gritty. Fruity, spicy with a light sourness and good tanginess. Malty its not bad. I think that I had this at Hasselt but forgot to rate it. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.1

Bottle at ZBF’12, Leuven, Belgium: Brown coloured brew with good coffee and roasted malts taste and the finish have that Belgian endive touch.

@ ZBF 2012. Dark brown coloured beer wih small off-white head and no carbonation. Coffee malty aroma. Full creamy sparkling palate. Finish is malty roasted bitter. Nice one!

Head gone in secs, over fully opaque, even muddy brown beer with a mossy sheen. Spicy, woody, liquorice but especially dark malts/melanoidins - even a bit of coffee. Seems complex, but I’m wondering. Coffee, and... red chili pepper! Tastes like some chilli pepper enriched sauce or stock - including vegetable oil slickness. The ingredients’ list, however, doesn’t give a hint about any herbs, spices.... Peppery, slighlty burning MF, well-carbonated and seriously grist-slick. Complex, very interesting, but I do not think I’d drink it often, or even have a full 75 cl bottle...

UPDATED: APR 26, 2012 75cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2011, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, spicy and malty, not balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

2/07/2011 75cl bottle @ Oostendse Bierjutterij (2011-296)
