The original TSTBRW 2 (Imperial Stout) aged for 1 year in Tequilla barrels. This was done in the old fermentation cellars under the brewery where music of Barry White plays 24/7. It was the third succesful barrel aged beer of Sven Dekleermaeker, the brewer who is famous for restoring the original recipe for the famous Antwerp Bolleke.

Almost black with thin head. Aroma has cut grass and cork. Flavour like burnt sulphur. Some background of chocolate malts but otherwise poor.

Tap. Black color with beige head. Aroma is booze, tequila, wood, chocolate. Taste is tequila, chocolate, sugary. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Good for a Tequila BA ImpStout.

Imported from my RateBeer account as De Koninck Blue Pearl (by Brouwerij De Koninck (Duvel-Moortgat)):

28/IV/18 - shared @ Zythos Bierfestival 2018 (Leuven) - BB: n/a (2018-524) Thanks to the ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: very oxidized, port notes, madeira, old beer, like more than 20 years old oxidized and dusty stuff, some cinnamon. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: very oxidized, cardboard, alcohol, dusty, more oxidation. Really don't like this one. Seems like it's been aged for way too long. Probably because they've tasted it on several occasions, and each time they tried waiting longer till it would turn out good? News flash, tequila barrel ageing never turns out good. :p At least not with the beers I've had so far. ;-)

Zythos 2018. Black with a small off-white head.. Roasted aroma with licorice, cherry and dried fruit, and a faint oxidised note. Sweet malty flavour with licorice, dark chocolate, dried fruit, port wine and alcohol

Tap at the brewery. Thnx Sven and Sam ! Pours black, nearly no head, but tanned as long as it's alive. Smell is intense, spices, sweet, bit booze. Taste is big on spice-from-barrel, too much tequilla here for me. The body and carbo remain an attractive feature, but much of the beer's base is lost in the intense barrel notes. might make a good base for backblending, but as it is now, it's way to much barrel.
