[The original Eylenbosch Gueze - vintage 1988 - sampled March 2004] The aroma is both sweet and sour with notes of wood. The color is a hazy amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is both sweet and sour with notes of candy sugar - like a Faro. The notes of sugar makes it a little weird - I wonder if it is the 16 years in the bottle that has done this? For a gueze this is not that good - but as a beer it is OK.

(Bottle 25 cl) Original version from "Br. Eylenbosch" in Schepdaal at 4,3% ABV. Amber coloured, bubbly head (leaves the bottle by itself as soon as you get the cap off) but then the beer turns rather flat. Some tart - but far from extreme - vinegary notes nicely matched by a candied sweetness. 291196

From 37.5 cL bottle, thanks to Grovlam. Pours slight hazy orange with a light orange and diminished head. Fruity (apple and raisin) and acidic aroma. Starts very sweet fruity, gives away a mild fruity note and a mild brett acidity. Dominantly sweet in a thick caramel/cane sugar way. Unusual but very nice.

Bottle, 1988-vintage. Cloudy orange coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of port, wood and fruits. Flavour of wood, fruits and port.

Bottle, 1988 vintage, thanks joergen for sharing. Red/brown colour, small white head. Maderiawineish nose, which shows hints of Oxidation (a bit like the Bass King 1902 at RBESG). Flavour is Gueuze meets Madeira wine. Lovely.
