oberabcbbsok (653), Hoboken, Belgium Jun 25, 2008 A new beer still some taste of "De Koninck" very nice and good tasting. A little young. Tasted on bottle
JorisPPattyn (4262), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 16, 2008 Irregular dark beige head, smallish over deep red-foxy beer with a brown haze; shards of lace. Cookie malts, herbal & yeasty; some meaty esters, as from young beer. Not really sweet, not hoppy smelling. Dry, fleetingly near wry-bitterish, with a sweetness behind that is clearly, or at least for a great part like unfermented worts. Still the flavours work out, achieving balance. Again spicy touches - dark malts, root spices. Not very heavily bodied, some alcohol. Pretty carbonated, if not as excessively as the Golden one. Rather OK, one I think would benefit hugely from some aging. Jerre (1336), Waregem, Belgium Jul 7, 2008 Last saterday from 75 cl. bottle at Beerjutterij, Oostende.
Redbrwown color, small beige head.
Aroma sweet, little spice, fruits.
Medium body. Taste sweet, malts, bit caramel.
Not so great for me.
thebeertourist (1764), Oslo, Norway Jun 30, 2008 From bottle at Bierpassie Weekend, Antwerpen. Ruby red colour as expected from the name, small beige head. Fruity aroma. Yeasty caramel and fruit. Good, strong, but has yet to excel. Joppe (15), Antwerpen, Belgium Jun 23, 2008 Yesterday @ beer passion. I think this the best beer from ’De Koninck’ brewery!
Bottle 75cl. Dark red colour. Small head. Nicely balanced.
