Lozen Boer

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Lochristi - Hijfte, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

Corked bottle. Whew! After only a little bit of the beer had begun to rest in the Duvel tulip glass, an aroma of strawberry jam surged into my booger caves. A nice, thick head of beige sits atop a goeey, liquified apple butter body. Further olfactoral inspection yields a bit of peach, fig, and just a sweet touch of peach honey and sweet grass. Nice lacing around the glass. Flavor is a plumby raisin swirl, with touches of dark fruits dispersed throughout. Boozy, bitter finish of sweet bread and earthy spices. Thick, coating mouthfeel. Very enjoyable brew; nice sipper. I’d love to buy a couple more and cellar them.

Bottle shared by faroeviking. Hazy brown body with a thick tan head. Very malty aroma with caramel, prune, raisins mollasses and some alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavour is caramel, prunes and other ripe fruit, mollasses and some alcohol. Great Abt but lacks the body to become one of the best.

Bottle purchased in 2007 from Coaltrain in CO Springs, CO and forgotten in a basement for several years. A wonderful creamy brown head a good in thick in my scalds glass. There’s a dominant yeast aroma with hints of dust and spices it warms, a honey sweetness emerges. The body is very sweet with a spice mead flavor. I’ve never had a beer quite like this. I’ll have to try and find a young bottle, but age treats this beer well.

Poured a deep, clear, mahogony with a thick, very long lived head. Aromas are of caramel, banana, and winter spices. Flavors are dominated by the use of crystal malts. Very sweet and caramelly, with srawberries and melon topped off with clove and allspice. Full bodied and sugary aftertaste.

great to see DeProef in Houston, thank you DuFF!! dark chocolate fudge, raisens, plum, in the nose ...pours with a grand ole head .. nice flavours, lots of fruits , like flys ... very drinkable ... good masking .. a fine brew that no one really knows .. big mountain fudgecake?

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving laces. Vinous, sweetish aroma. Very full-bodied and very pleasant with some diacetyl. Not a world class Abt, but a lovely brew nonetheless. 021206

Gosh, I have a really hard time understanding why this one is rated as low as it is. I loved it. Mine was aged about two years. It had a satisfying pop of the cork but wasn’t a jet. It poured rich brown/amber with a generous foam, somewhat irregular in formation and light tan. The nose was perhaps a bit tame, or one-dimension, but the flavor was of raisins and toffee cake, flavorful but not biting, with an attractive sweetness and a fluffy but not teasing palate. I can understand why people would say it doesn’t have the complexity that befits this style...true enough...but hedonistically it provided all that I was looking for. I shared my bottle with my good friend Satish, for a BBQ dinner on the patio for the 4th of July...and it went down very easily and very satisfactorily. Good beer and a good beer experience.

Bottle trade with Glouglouburp. Reddish brown with a thick head. Nice sweet malt and alcohol aroma. Lots of chocolate in flavour! growing framhouse edge and finish. Like a chocolate Saison. Sweet with a little bit of fire in the nose.
