Bottled, from somewhere in 1989, shared by Ot the Explorer. Slight hazy yellowish color, short head. Aroma of sweet candy, soft sour apple note, some oxdidation going around. At this time I’m told, de Dolle used the Rodenbach yeast, so it was a bit funky and I think the yeast has kept this beer alive and drinkable. Soft sour, slight acidic and still some candy sweetness in taste. It’s like a liquid ’zuurtje’, so barley sugar candy. Interesting old beer.

Clear-amber, foxy; amberish tinted small head. Very oxydized nose, nutty, biscuit, chocolate truffles, meaty, chocolate powder. Slightly woody impression in the taste, with again dry chocolate powder, with very little sweetness - biscuit is still there. Medium bodied, not very full. Somehow, however oxydized this may be, I’m glad I still found the DDB version at ’t Kroegske, Emelgem. A perfect setting for retasting this icon.

(Bottle 33 cl) Rather pale golden, creamy head. Vinous and fruity yes, but definitely also very bitter. Interesting brew. Had this at Kulminator in Antwerp. 110893

Bottle - 1992 Vintage @ Akkurat
Roast, whiskey and almond notes. Hazy amber, low head. I get an impression of rye, some dust and salt. Even at that age a bit too edgy.

A clear amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and peach. The flavor is as if it is a bit old - sweet, dusty, caramel, alcohol, peach, and fruit.

Bottled, 1992 vintage. Clear golden. Tart and full of lactic acidity. Dry and lightly papery. Lively and crisp, near lambicish. Outstanding!
Old rating: Sampled the 1991 version in September 2000: Orange coloured. Clear. Fruity, sweetish. Apple aroma. (5/4/7/4/12)
