Bottle. Dark brown color with no head. Aroma is balsamico, chocolate, roasty, earthy. Taste is the same. Low carbonation. Still an excellent beer.

22 November 2025. GBV Tasting: Struise en kaas feat. Tim DR (Jan Yoens). Cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark brown, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of blue cheese, butter, malt vinegar, fermenting nectarine, red grape, leather, cherry pit, almond. Taste has very sour nectarine, blue plum and grape surrounded by funky notes of malt vinegar, lactic acid and leather in an almondy, 'kramiek'-like malt body. Soft bitter herbal hops in the finish, ending quite sharp with tart cherry and berries and woody tannins. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Excellent funky & vinous stuff.

Lovely. Cleaner than the other, a bit less personality, but smoother and slightly more balanced.
