Consumed at Zythos, St Niklaas, Belgium, 08-03-09 This came courtesy of Ian and Mes who were on a Brouwerij De Troch tasting mission, cheers lads. Pours hazy brown orange. Plenty of unrefined brown sugary aroma kick us off. The taste has a soft carbonated canned drink feel about it, maybe Dr Pepper. There is a little sharpness but the sweetness is too much for me I’m afraid. A5 A4 F5 P3 OV08 2.5

12.7oz bottle-pours an off white head that bubbles with some lacing and cloudy orange/brown color. Aroma is wood/vinegar, sweet medium malt, apple. Taste is sweet apple/cherry/sugar, medium malt, faint wood. Nice mouth feel. Mild effervescence. Taste was quite a pleasant surprise after an average aroma. Thanks to Armock for the trade with jwc215 & me.

Like a lot of people it seems, this completes my beer styles... 72/72. Woot! Corked and capped 375 mL bottle courtesy of mar. Thanks! Shared with cdumler and Alraomon. Pours a strawberry red color with a small head. Average head retention and lacing. Aroma is a quite unpleasant mixture of mushroom, mustard and vinegar. Taste is caramel, sweet and sour sauce and some earthy notes. Full bodied.

12.7 oz corked bottle. MY 72nd OF 72 RATEBEER STYLES! Poured into a goblet, shows murky brown with a half-inch head like frothed milk. Smell is sweet, with some hints of oak and a tiny bit of brett bringing in a cherry whiff. Nice, Taste is good and sweet, like a cherry and strawberry juice mix. Just enough tart to make the sides of my tongue curl. Spritzy all the way through, like a mimosa. Lots of fun to drink. Maybe because I’m enjoying this bottle soon after I got it, and not cellaring, but I like this a lot more than the average ratings would suggest. I’m happy to have found that this final style is actually quite tasty, and surprised there’s not more of it around.

Pours copper with gold hues and white head. The aroma has solid cherry and plum fruitiness followed by dank clothes closet and acidic tartness. The taste starts very sweet sugar and cherries and then moves increasingly acidic but does not get anywhere near the level of sweetness being offered. To the finish the tartness attempts to purge the palate but the sweet slick sugariness gets in the way. Wow, sweeter than I was expecting.

courtesy of ibrew2or3 ... thanks for bringing this hidden jewel to our attention. Beer turned out a lot better than anticipated. Pours amber with beige head. Aroma had a lot of vinegar. Taste was just totally different. Sweet, fruity (dark fruits). The finish is lightly sour.

Pours with a generous, off-white head that sticks around and leaves good lacing. Hazy brown body. Aroma is grassy, funky with rotten fruits, skunk, sugar and candied dates. Tastee is ultra sweet with some rotten fruits in the background. Sugar coated raisins as well. Fizzy and dry.

2000 bottle from Kulminator. A dirty dark golden faro with a thick white head. Apleasant strong sweet strawberry aroma, funkey, almost meaty. In mouth, a sweet lightly acidic beer, with light leathery notes, maple. Overall, pleasant and well balanced. Medium bodied. 1.80 Euro.
