Lots of molasses, malt flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and creamy but small head. Nose is spicy with herbal notes. Phenomenal and quite unique. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

da questo momento in poi (cambio gettoni allo zbf 2013) comincia un vero e proprio delirio/declino..il birrificio struise diventa il mio principale punto di riferimento..e come potrebbe non esserlo??da quello che ricordo posso solo dire che su 4/5 birre assaggiate ognuna era un vero e proprio capolavoro..nel vero senso della parola..aromi impressionanti,complessi all’ennesima potenza..ogni sorso era un tripudio di sapori quasi impossibili da decifrare completamente ma che sicuramente meritano un altro assaggio..per la maggior parte ho assggiato birre scure,questa invece era rossa tendente al marrona-scuro..micidiale e il tutto servito alla spina insieme al GATTO LOPEZ :D zbf 2013

Tap courtesy of urbeer, thank you! Hazy amber color, medium white head. Aroma of rye bread dough, light spice. Taste is malty, bready chewy spiced pumpernickel. Very nice.

tap at cbc - pours a deep orange with a massive beige-yellow head. Aroma of peach, malt, orange peel and orange, caramel. Full body and sweet the whole way through. Taste of peach and malt.

Tap @ Hair of the Dog’s ’Day of De Struise’... Poured deep red with a thin, off-white head. There was definite rye here, but didn’t play like it normally does in other rye beers. Instead it seemed to work nicely with the yeast and created a ton of fruit, dark fruit flavors and esters. Mostly had raisins and cherries. Quite nice. Good mouthfeel, full flavored, sticky on the palate. This was solid.

Tap @ CBC, 2012.
Pours light hazy dark amber with almost no head. Aroma has toasted caramel, light spicy rye, plums and light viniousness. Highish carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Lovely flavours of sweet malts and caramel, light spiciness. Fine bitterness. A very elegant tripel.

On tap at Animal Bar. Ruvi colour with a good formation of a light tan head, creamy and with good lacework. Aroma is light caramel and red fruits, brown sugar and barley malts, in an appropiate temperature it has notes of Porto wine and sweet Spanish wine. Flavor is sweet, with a good presence in the mouth, dense, grapes, caramel and barley malts, smooth, bready. Dense on palate with a sweet final with a decent duration. The final is alcoholic but the 10% is hidden by red fruits and caramel notes. Carbonation is soft. Body is medium to high. Texture is oily.

Tap @ CBC. Cloudy amber body with a small offwhite head. Aroma is molasses, pine, raisin, plum, toffee, light alcohol. Flavor is moderate sweet, light bitter, dark fruit, alcohol.

draft // Struise tasting glass @ Kulminator // fox / red fruits amber with a tanned / beige creamy, nicely lacing white head // smells very sweet, quite liqueur-like, lots of spices & other grains, some rye, touch dark & black bread // alternative grains upfront, rye, darker bread, lots of spices, sweet, liqueur, cognac, candy sugar, touch syrup like quality, sweet, spices, finish, quite boozy at the back, more than you definitely expect from a 10 % beer // despite the other grains structure, quite, creamy smooth, touch jam feel to it // definitely in line with what appears to be Urbain’s new style // extremely different from any other tripel I have had so far, difficult to even think of this as a triple, far from bad

On tap at CBC. Pours hazy amber with a creamy dense off white head. The aroma is fruit, yeast, hops and ripe berries. Sweet malty flavour, yeast, berries and fruit. Nice balance.
