Very good, dense, amberish head over deep red-brown beer. Liquorice, indeed old bread, dry wood, bit of chocolated, plywood. Mild sweetness, dry, again plywood. Bit soupy, hint at coriander, nutty. Faint lactic acidity in the finish, enhanced by the CO². Medium bodied, very well carbonated; slick to viscous. Strange beer, difficult to classify. Txs to Stef!

Appearance: Hazy deep brown with a decent beige head. Aroma: Dark bread, rye, belgian yeast, esters. treacle. Taste: Pretty sismilar. Light to medium sweet, Low bitterness. Mouth feel: Medium body, soft to average carbonation. Summary: Too sweet to be honest.

33cl bottle from Carrefour Market Boondael in Brussels F: medium, tan, good retention. C: brown, hazy. A: malty, caramel, bready, bit apples, dried fruits. T: medium malty base, bready, caramel, mellow fruity, dried fruits, medium carbonation, bit more on the sweet side yet not bad, enjoyed.

5/VI/20 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: 6/III/22 (2020-466)

Clear red brown beer, big creamy dense yellowish to beige head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, some caramel, dried fruits, ripe banana, somewhat sweet and sugary. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish, caramel touch, pretty bitter, banana peel, bit metallic. Aftertaste: hoppy, dry, bit acidic, soft caramel touch, malty, nice and fruity, slightly roasted, soft bitterness.

Paired with a pesto margherita pizza, nice pairing!

Dark brown colour, beige foam. Caramel, some tartness, weak and watery, unbalanced. Not very nice.

Several brewers in both Belgium and the Netherlands are experimenting with food waste for ethical and environmental reasons, mostly with old bread; the Wilde Brouwers in Merelbeke near Ghent have of course an entire history of recycling waste, having attracted media attention some years ago by creating beer from recycled urine, so this one, the latest addition to their range, comes as no surprise. Thanks Jonathan! Mousy, pale yellowish beige, slowly dissipating but generally stable, medium sized head on a misty dark chocolate brown beer with ruddy-bronze hue. Aroma of dried fig, caramel, dried (indeed 'old') brown bread, dried apple peel, old nut shells, minerals, dust, old raisins. Dryish onset, fruity with aspects of fig and red apple, quite stinging carbonation, sourish undertone; bit resinous, hard-caramelly and indeed brown-bready body, ending in a dusty yeasty character, a tad 'dirty' (old nut shells) in the end even, remaining low in hop bitterness apart from a late earthy bitter note. The 'old bread' aspect is almost painfully clear in this one, but it is still an enjoyable, distinct and interesting beer with a rather unusual profile. I'm not completely convinced, though.
