JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 18, 2009 Good, fine tan head over reddish cola-coloured beer. End of bottle full of UFO’s. Dark malts & molasses’ nose. Faintly leafy, but predominantly quite sweet malts. Sweetness, very liquorice-like, is counterbalanced by a fresh acidity, that is partly CO˛, but partly different. Might seem like a very benign infection, but my money is on added lactic acid. Palate is rather empty, despite a sticky feeling that keeps lingering around in the back of the throat. Acceptable, but too bland and too sweet from a microbrew. There’s no point in concurrencing the big ’uns. BoBoChamp (1334), Gent, Belgium Sep 4, 2009 33cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2009, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew Wim (1278), Turnhout, Belgium Aug 9, 2009 dark brown coloured sparkling body with a off white head a malty yeasty aroma a malty yeasty caramel fruity sweet taste with a sweet bitter finish Yves (1000), Beerse, Belgium Aug 6, 2009 Darkbrown coloured beer wtih medium off-white head. Fruity yeasty aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is spicy sweet ending dry bitter. Misses some punch. Jerre (1755), Waregem, Belgium Jul 12, 2009 Tasted last sunday 05.07.09 with J.C.
@ BBfestival Mechelen.
From bottle 33 cl.
Very dark brown color, with lots a off-white head.
Aroma strong roasted malts, bit yeast, (dark) fruits.
Medium to full palate.
Taste sweet, has some touch of a stout, strong roasted malts, bitter, a alcoholic warming feeling.
Nice. Bart (1625), Vosselaar, Belgium Jun 18, 2009 Brewed from water, malt, candy-malt, hops, candy-suggar and yeast. Brown coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a large but diminishing creamy off-white head. Roasted, malty and caramel aroma with some yeasty ripe-fruity hints. Medium to full palate. Finish is ligth bitter, candy suggar sweet malty hints with a longer yeasty like banana-fruity unfermented ending with a slight alcoholic hint. Long finish, but probably to young to drink.
