Red brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have hints of dried fruits and cherry pits. Really malty.

Limited bottle. The number is: 1634 from 2974 bottles. Ladna biala piana srednio trwala zalakowany stepel tego papierka ktorego bylo az tyle ze mozna by owinac maske malego fiata. Barwa czerwona, z odcieniem poziomkowym, pod koniec brazowa po wlaniu osadu. Piwo pieknie pachnie lawenda, roza i tego typu kwiaty. Smakowo nieco klimatow zielonej koniczyny bylo troche wyschnietego karmelu, suszonych owocow, glownie fig i daktyli. Nie za slodkie tak w sam raz.

Thank you! Glass from 750 ml. bottle @ Beerlovers Bar. Packaging looks great, much as was the case with their Edelsaison, in the end it is an unexciting Belgian, packaged & despite their frequent talk of limited, there are close to 3000 bottles out there of each of these beers. Nothing really justifies the hilariously high price-point (18 euro - retail is close to 10 euro), seems like all hype building to me. Plenty of other Belgian beers around with this level of quality, production size etc. at a far lower price. Bottle #1731/2974. Bottled 28.02.2017. Plenty of other info on ingredient, the packaging is great. Bright red amber, off-white to tanned head, solid. Taste is slick BE sugar, caramel, hay, very sweet malt, raw BE sweet, slick,... Taste is sweet faintly metallic, big slab of light plastic, clean industrial caramel, sugar, BE, herbal rye, big fizzy, sweet malt, sugar, caramel, more sugar. Body is slick caramel, low bread, fizzy. Rather meh for me. Good costumer feedback ’though. This brewery has plenty of good going on, the beers are too tame for me in the end I suppose.

Black label -beer of the Brochus Brewery in Antwerp, meaning the batch is Rediculously small ( max 25 bottles, yet fully oficial, never a ’homebrew’ but produced in a 25 liter tank ) . One should start with seeing the bigger picture here - being the packaging and idea. Black label beers are 75 cl beers, wrapped in black paper. They have a necklabel which contains information over the style, the specific beer, the Brewery, and even the used malts and hops ( in percentages ) . The necklabel is attached with home-made wax, completing the look of a very, very nice presentation beer, that is so far typically served in the better restaurants ( star-restaurants ). This must be partly due to the great packaging, complete and efficient, as well as elegant and clean. Very nice ! The pour of the beer looks very nice as well. It is clear, dark red, with a medium sized head. Smell is fruity (orange ) mildly bitter, a sweet touch, as well as hoppyness. Taste is bitter, complex, still fruity, very aromatic. Complex, balanced, and once again very damn elegant. I love this beer ! I’m not afraid to admit that any other exactly-the-same beer would have had a lower score, but I have to take in count how great this beer is produced. the looks of the bottle, the very informative necklabel, a really nice website... This is simply what Antwerp needed - a damn fine craft Brewery ! can’t wait to try more of them !
