De Molen De Kruier

bottle. brown color. large head. yeasty aroma. lots of carp. sourness and fruity. some earth and wood.

Bottled. Pours reddish brown with a medium sized head. Malty and somewhat roasted. Notes of dark fruits and also has a slight sourness.

Bottled. Clear dark ruby red colour. Medium foamy off-white head. Aroma consists of a malty, caramelly base with notes of raisins and dark fruits in general. Malty taste, not that sweet, and nutty, bitter. Notes of dark fruits. Finishes nut-bitter and dry. Mediumbodied with a thick, dry texture. I don´t know what this has to do with a doppelbock. I would call it a dubbel. Still, a fine brew, if one likes it bitter and dry, which is not a favourite combination of mine. Many thanks to bierkoning for this interesting beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown, clear and presumably filtered. Light brown cappuchino-like head. Dark and malty with a distinct, dry bitterness. But actually this is more sour than bitter, which is very odd for a Doppelbock. We’re almost talking Flemish Sour territory here. Very interesting brew. 261104

Bottled: Dark amber coloured. Unclear. Dense light brown head. A little bland aroma. Malt and spice present. Flavour of liqourice (my wife says, some horsestable is present!!), fruit and alcohol. Has some sweetness in the end. Is a little vague in both flavour and aroma.
