Molenbier (8.5% - 9.5%) from Brouwerij De Molen

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5

Slightly cloudy yellow, fluffy white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, citrus, grapes, slight passion fruit, malts and spicy yeast. Flavour malty with strong hop signature, pronounced bitterness, citrus, some sweetness. Dry hoppy finish. Quite a lot of yeast remaining in the bottle, the last 1/5 of the bottle turns up very hazy with yeast.
Molenbier, ABV 9,2%, BB 28/11/12.
Do have a feeling the beer in this bottle might be an alias or another beer, due to the big differences in aroma and colour in the descriptions.. Very tasty though.
(75cL bottle @ home, bought at the local windmill in Nijmegen)

Little cloudy reddish amber coloured beer, no head. Aroma: very sweet malts, raisins, toffee and hint of mocha, ripe fruits, caramel, more mocha, candi sugar. Amazingly complex and interesting. MF: very little carbon, full body. Taste: sweet malts up front, bitter comes very fast and overtakes the sweetness completely. Orange peel, citrus notes, bit of grapefruit. Aftertaste: alcohol sweetness compensating the hops quite well, then a very bitter ending with a touch of citrus and bit of mocha. Alcohol work pretty numbing.

Red brown color, not much sent, but may have been too cold. Taste is reasonably good, but I taste a little too much alcohol.

Very nice taste, a bit hoppy but not enough for me. I like really hoppy beers and this one wasn’t hoppy enough. But still it’s a very nice beer and i would be happy to drink this one again.

Aromatisch malzig-würziger und hopfiger Antrunk. Hierbei intensiviert sich der Geschmack im Mittelteil, in dem sich die Aromen intensivieren und das Bier einen Mittelweg aus Süffigkeit und Intensität nimmt. Die würzige, fast honigartige Malznote wird hierbei von einem säuerlichen Hauch durchzogen und entwickelt mit der Zeit leichte Karamellnoten. Insgesamt wirkt das Aroma aber fest bestimmt. Zum Ende wenig herb. Gelungenes Bier mit gelungenem Tiefgang. 9/11/11/12/11/12

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Slightly hazy murky deep orangeish copper colour with a mediumsized yellowish beige head. Aroma is citrus fruits, some slight sweet malts as well as some spices and yeastyness. Flavour is quite strong sweet malts along with citrus fruits, some mild floral and grassy notes. Also mild yeast and some slight alcohol. Caramel and mild raisins as well. Quite pleasantly balanced. Once it warms up it also gets some slight strange hoppyness and mild liquorice.

This bottle a more moderate 8.5% abv. Cloudy dark amber beer, no real head. Low carbonation but there is a little bite. Wonderful fruity start - peach, mango, orange and other fruits. Riding alongside is smooth creamy frothy malt. A little aniseed in the dry finish. Complex.
