3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy, light brown. Aroma and flavour have candy sweetness. Also soft malts and light fruity sweetness. Strangely, I’m not getting much from the barrel.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty, light wooden to vague mouldy. Toasted malty, breadish and caramelish. Caramelish, fruity and phenolic. Dry and toffee caramelish finish.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cl. bottle sampled @ Brugs Bier Festival 2013. The rist one was bit of a trainwreck honestly I feel but this one is quite lovely, carbonated even & gives me faith in Jenever barrel aging. Murky brownish appearance with a white head. Nose is overripe fruits (in a fine way), caramel, toffee sweet with sweet spices, light herbs plus booze. Taste is wooden barrels, herbal, sweet spices, caramel & touch of toffee, sweetly malty, accompanying booze taste – the Jenever I presume, dried fruits, sugar. This one has good carbonation. Wow they learned & improved quickly. Impressive, kudos.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample @ Brugge Bierfest ’13
Brune foncée, trouble, col beige fin.
Arôme présente des notes faibles de barrique, baies de genévrier restent en retrait. Malt léger, caramel avec une barrique qui peine un peu à se faire présent. Le houblon renforce un bouquet d’une note fleuri-fruitée qui reste cependant faible.
Palais, barrique est fine suivi de notes sucrées-caramel, malté, le tout gardant un profil très belge dans l’approche. Palais reste épais avec ce côté beurre et un alcool réchauffant. Houblonnage peine aussi à se faire présent. On est un peu loin d’autres bières du même style qui présentent un genévrier plus en avant et en ligne avec le profil de la bière.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Small, yellowish head over fully hazy, copperish tinted dull amber beer. Spicy, herbal nose; bit of melanoidins. Dry, woody character. Some melanodins, bit of cocoa powder. Sweet, certainly warming up. Hints at alcohol. Quite slick, not viscous. Feels better carbonated than it looks. Decent, if not spectacular.
