oh6gdx	3.9 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Sample (thanks fonefan!). More or less black colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is toffee, chocolate, some fudge and mild floral, wooden, piney and mild fruity tones. Flavour is mildly toasted tones, but has a beautiful fruity, floral and wooden kick with a nice bitterness coming through. Really good CDA. Wednesday, April 10, 2024

fonefan	3.4 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn ★ Saturday, March 30, 2024
midovark	2.4 Two Chefs Pie Hard Can at home. Pours an uninviting brown colour and quickly dissipating off white head. Syrupy-sweet cinnamon and apples on the nose, with a hint of acidity. Some apples in the taste, light acidity again, some sweetness, some spices, fairly watery and empty body- and finish-wise. Meh Saturday, March 30, 2024
Brugmansia	3.5 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Saturday, March 30, 2024
hauxe	3.8 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Dark brown with a frothy, beige head. Aroma full of pine and dark chocolate. Taste is bittersweet up front, a mix of resin bitterness and toffee sweetness. Increasingly bitter at the back. Long, bitter finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Good black ipa. Saturday, March 30, 2024
sparta	2.8 Two Chefs Bon Chef Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga. Saturday, March 30, 2024
blariacum	3.3 Two Chefs Bòck Brûlée Blik. Gehad. ,tekst? Tuesday, March 26, 2024
kustie	3.3 Two Chefs White Mamba Hazy golden color with a medium off-white head. Aroma has coriander, wheat and yeast. Taste is malty sweet with a long a bit sweet aftertaste. Flavors of wheat, yeast, citrus and some grass. Friday, March 22, 2024
DijkBier	2.7 Two Chefs Sunset Suzy Newest edition in their line-up of regulars/originals; can from the brewery's webshop. Clear golden pour with white head, limited to poor retention. Aroma of strong orange and other citric senses. Taste is indeed as an orange soda; moderate sour and mild sweet, but so with a certain watery element. Quite light feel, OK carbo. Surely quenching on a hot summer day, but for me too much of a soda instead of a beer. Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Monty27	3.6 Two Chefs Funky Falcon 0.2% Non-Alcoholic Pale Ale Fine AF beer. Tropical fruit aromas, starting of mild with some mango, a weakish body, with a nice bitterness coming slowly through at the end. Mostly grassy hops at that stage, bringing a lager-type after-taste. Saturday, March 16, 2024
bdleedahl	3.9 Two Chefs Imperial Stout Aged In Panama Rum Barrel This is a really good beer. Even for the style universally. Just very well done and as advertised without anything over the top. Sterk ams Tuesday, March 12, 2024
bdleedahl	3.4 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Okay beer, an improvement on many in this style in Netherlands. Still got way to go. Clearly brewed at two chefs not Kees. Sterk ams Saturday, March 9, 2024
harrynack	3.3 Two Chefs White Mamba Friday, March 8, 2024
mcberko	3.4 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn On tap at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, pours black with a beige head. Aroma with medium roasted malt and some earthy hops. Flavour is rich, with lots of roasted malt, earthy hops, and a touch of pine, with maybe a trace of diacetyl. Balanced well, though not the most dense in either the malt or hop department. Could be improved, especially with that buttery character. Wednesday, March 6, 2024
bdleedahl	3.4 Two Chefs Tango Nights As advertised. It’s to the recipe. But not overly unique robust or special. A bit muddied version of these flavours. Craft draft ams Saturday, March 2, 2024
bdleedahl	3.3 Two Chefs Skinny Dipper Okay ish decent beer, but probably not worth buying again. Craft crafts ams Saturday, March 2, 2024
Desverger	3.4 Two Chefs Funky Falcon 0.2% Non-Alcoholic Pale Ale Can at home 24/01/2024 Bright fruity aroma and taste, some peachy and citrus fruity action, sweetish pale malts, some light grassy and floral hoppy accents, medium sweet, light to almost medium body (not watery) fruity hoppy bitter finish. Good stuff, decent AF. Saturday, March 2, 2024
bdleedahl	3.3 Two Chefs Apple Pie Sour Meh, a bit too of a muddled thing. Floaties and thick chewyness. Mild sourness, more pie blended into beer. Sterk ams Saturday, March 2, 2024
Fin	3.6 Two Chefs Tango Nights Can picked up from Beerdome webshop Grootegaste Netherlands and consumed at home Friday 1st March 2024. We had a Dishoom dish called Chicken Ruby, essentially a version of Butter Chicken for tea. Pours black with a head that departed so swiftly I cannot describe it. It'd a very sweet beer, the tonka is noted, it's a little bit boozy but still very likeable, some chocolate, thick mouthfeel. Good. Friday, March 1, 2024
bdleedahl	3.4 Two Chefs / Buddelship Border Hopping Okay beer. Tastes as advertised. A bit of a murky thing, like a fruit hoppy beer with peaches. Well brewed though. Sterk ams Wednesday, February 28, 2024
bdleedahl	3.5 Two Chefs Smoked Peach Bourbon Sour Okay beer. More of a foggy peach taste. Bourbon is mild but complementary in a nice way. Leans more towards a fruit beer. Sterk ams Monday, February 26, 2024
DijkBier	3.8 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Can from the brewery's pub; collab with Kees. Very hazy, muddy deep dark-brown pour with creamy beige head; good retention, very good lacing. Aroma is surprisingly citric, orange & grapefruit, later other fruityness; but not clear what's behind. Taste is moderate bitter with a mild sweet undertone; different senses make a weird mix: some chocolate, dark-roast malts, citrus, licorice. Firm but not heavy body, OK carbo. Interesting, distinct, but really irregular brew; but surely tasty. Saturday, February 24, 2024
bdleedahl	3.3 Two Chefs Crop Collector Okay beer, has some decent qualities but really is below avg for their and all ipas. Ah ams Saturday, February 24, 2024
DijkBier	3.9 Two Chefs Beer Grylls Can from the brewery's pub. Extremely dark, pitch-black pour with big, creamy brown head, retaining very well. Aroma is strongly chocolate and vanilla indeed. Taste starts mild, then coming through the chocolate strongly, at least medium sweet, then followed by a more dark-bitter aftertaste of dark-burnt malts, hop and licorice, growing stronger gradually. Mouth filling, sticky, but very smooth feel with rather low carbo. Interesting development of this nearly over-the-top chocolate porter; the aftertaste makes this brew a winner. Friday, February 23, 2024
DijkBier	3.9 Two Chefs Tango Nights Can from the brewery's pub. Pitch black pour with creamy beige head, retaining and lacing well. Aroma has elements of chocolate,caramel, vanilla and Tonka bean. Same senses in the taste, plus dark-roast or burnt malts; over medium sweet, with a sometimes a somewhat alcoholic aftertaste or a whiff of cinnamon. Very full body, very mouth filling, but a bit disappointing soft carbo. It's not a particularly complex brew, but very nice in what it is: a fat full sweet dark chocolate stout with a nice twist of Tonka. Thursday, February 22, 2024
DijkBier	3.6 Two Chefs Beaming Bob Can from the brewery's pub. Crystal clear golden pour with white head, retaining reasonably. Aroma is mild hoppy, bit grassy and citric. Taste is also hoppy but different, more like bubblegum and something berry-ish (nearly over the top, so strong); moderate bitter, bit fruity. OK carbo. I never tasted the Mosaic profile so specifically or explicitly; that makes this modest gluten free IPA interesting still. Wednesday, February 21, 2024
DijkBier	3.2 Two Chefs Pie Hard Can bought at the brewery brewpub. Totally hazy, muddy brown pour, with effervescent creme coloured head, falling down completely; bad retention, bad looks. Aroma has indeed ripe apples and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg); smells like apple pie indeed. Taste is surprising soury when expecting sweetness, but mild; combined with lactose sweetness. Limit d carbo, but still something tickling; firm bite. Interesting impersonation of an apple pie with mild sweet & sour sense, but one of the worst looking brews I ever tried. Tuesday, February 20, 2024
DijkBier	3.5 Two Chefs Shepherd’s Ally Can gotten for free from brewery's pub (because of lacking label); thanks! Very hazy ruby-brown pour, with floating sediment and a beige head; good retention. Aroma is a mix of (shortly) earthy hops, maybe some red fruit, and ultimately quite present wet malts/wort. Taste is moderate bitter, growing into the aftertaste; nice. Firm carbo, good bite. I'm not so enthusiastic about the aroma, but the taste brings character. Tuesday, February 20, 2024
Steentje	3.5 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn Saturday, February 17, 2024
Borresteijn	3.4 Two Chefs Shepherd’s Ally Op tap bij De Binnenkomer. Donkerbruine kleur, vuilwitte kraag. Flink hoppig, tabak, caramel, licht geroosterd, grapefruit, dennen, bitter. Mist een tikje zoetigheid om het fors bittere in toom te houden, verder prima. Lichte tot medium body. Friday, February 16, 2024
BuckeyeBoy	3.9 Two Chefs / Kees Until Dawn 330ml can pours out muddy brown color topped with a tan head. Nose is nice juicy hops and a roast malt. Taste is more of the nice sweet juicy hops roast malts and a little pithy citrus notes. Friday, February 16, 2024
bdleedahl	3.5 Two Chefs Bon Chef Pretty solid, simple but sound. Light and easy drinking, solid beer. Ah ams Thursday, February 15, 2024
jonas	3.7 Two Chefs / Basqueland Sunny Waves Can from Walther Mai. Cloudy amber, light golden foam. Herbal, tropical aroma. Medium full body, fruit nectar, light sticky and resinny hop oils, fruity sparkles to break it up. Old school bitter finish. Good update on the classic DIPAs. Wednesday, February 14, 2024
jonas	3.5 Two Chefs Green Bullet (Pink Label) Can from Walther Mai. Lychee, passion fruit aroma. Mostly clear golden, low lightly offwhite head. Medium body, sparkly, chewy. Tropical, gooseberry hop notes. Spritzy, does taste green. Tuesday, February 6, 2024
midovark	3 Two Chefs Skinny Dipper Can at work. Habár általában nyitott vagyok az unorthodox koncepciók felé, ez a sör egy tökéletes példája annak, hogy attól még ,hogy lehetséges, nem feltétlenül szükséges is esélyt adni egy ötletnek Sunday, February 4, 2024
midovark	2.5 Two Chefs Chocolate Vanilla Porter Can at work. Vékony, mint az olvadó februári jég, műanyag, mint a psg szurkolók, a korty meg vajas az aromáktól, mint egy jobb pirítós. Kiábrándító Sunday, February 4, 2024
Alengrin	3.4 Two Chefs Green Bullet (Pink Label) The renewed Green Bullet by Two Chefs in Amsterdam, originally blue-labelled and less strong so justly a different entry on this website; brewed with six very well-known, I would say 'classic' New World hops, which is apparently more than in the original (which I enjoyed from tap at Spuyt in Amsterdam back in 2015). Can from the Albert Heijn supermarket in Lokeren. Thick and frothy, egg-white, tightly cobweb-lacing, somewhat uneven but very dense and firm head on an initially clear warm golden blonde beer, turning misty with sediment. Aroma of soggy spice bread, pear, something manure-like but luckily volatile, old orange peel, overripe pineapple, apple peel, cumin seed, hint of pine resin, stewed yellow onions, olive oil, diesel, armpit sweat, dry old herb cheese, grapefruit, damp straw, stewed turnip. Dryish onset, sharpish carbonation with distracting minerally effects, rainwater-like undertone, notes of apple peel, green pear and unripe peach but very subdued in sweetness; rounded, smooth mouthfeel, soggy bread- and cereal-like pale malts under a confident amount of hoppiness, herbal, a tad soupy and peppery, with an earthy undertone - and even though glimpses of citrus (Cascade), pine (Chinook) and onions (Columbus) are noticeable, the tropical El Dorado and Mosaic remain all but absent and the delicate orange flavours of Citra get a bit lost. Ends with a lingering yet not too harsh bitterness (even though it still turns a bit tonic water-ish eventually), resinous and drying with an earthy touch. All things considered I guess this is not too bad for a plain supermarket IPA at now four months of age, but it seems notably less citrusy, less malty (somehow) and less aromatic than its blue-dressed forerunner, if my own ratings of that one are to be believed...
