3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Thick beige head, very even over deep burgundy to brown, clear beer. Very perfumey nose, praliné chocolate, coloured but not-bitter malts; pastry, noisette, also wild mushrooms. Bitter/roasted with a sweet, perfumey underbuild. Again nutty, confiserie chocolates. Point of bitter chocolate retronasal. Warming up, the flavour also gets a stamp as from wild mushrooms ( trompettes de la mort). Overcarbonated, fizzy MF. Quite slick, rather well-bodied. Can’t get the oak. Got some very perfumey, nearly forced flavours instead.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle from Dranken Geers, BB 13/09/2014. This beer rocks!
Cuivrée, col épais beige.
Arôme donne de suite de jolie notes de chêne rappelant presque un whisky, cela se suit par des fruits noirs et un malt léger.
En bouche, boisé avec ce profile copeaux de chêne américain le tout suivi d’un mat caramel et une pointe de candi.
Qcq épices en fin de bouche et se profile belge typique simplement mis sous une meilleure dimension avec l’ajout du chêne. Très belle et bonne surprise.

2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
20/III/2012 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 13/IX/14 (2012-248)
Clear dark red brown beer, big aery light beige head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: overripe to rotten fruits, a lot of band-aid, banana, dusty, sugar, some caramel. MF: too much carbon, medium body. Taste: sour start, sweet malts, banana, caramel, some milk chocolate. Aftertaste: little sour, citrus fruits, dark chocolate, hop bitterness, touch of mocha. If you can get past the smell, then the beer grows on you while drinking. Better if it gets warmer.
