At Billies Bierkafetaria in Antwerp, generously shared by a fellow craft beer enthusiast. Lacing, off-white, medium sized head over a hazy, deep reddish coppery amber beer. Aroma strongly reveals peated and lightly iodine-like whisky indeed, wet wood, strawberry, yoghurt, candied cherry, pine nuts, sherry. Fruity onset, marmelade hint, red berry sourishness, medium carbo, supple caramelly malt backbone, smooth and a tad oily; tart (and unexpected!) yoghurty and sherryish flavours build a bridge to a gently woody, drying finish of juicy maltiness paired with peppery accents (the hops, I suppose) and the expected retronasal peat, strong but not so strong that it would ruin this for me. An interesting find, original conceptually even for a new Belgian brewer, and technically well executed: I’m beginning to fall in love with these new Cabardouche ladies...

5/XII/15 - 33cl bottle @ Billies Bier Kafétaria (Antwerpen) - BB: n/a (2015-1687) Thanks to John for sharing the bottle!
Clear dark orange beer, creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: shoe shop, very leathery, some fresh paint, bit chemical, fruity touch, dusty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, lemon juice, fruity, soft peat, bit chemical. Aftertaste: bitter, citrus, peated, bit infected? Soapy bitterness, funky, quite some peat in the end, bit weird.

330 ml. bottle @ the launch event at Café Mombasa. Limited to 2675 bottles. The brewers handed out small tasters of Laphroaig so that we could better pick up on the effect of the barrel which was quite lovely. I have had some variations of Laphroaig before, I will never say no to those. Colour is hard to note given the lighting, some kind of shade of reddish amber, small off-white (- I presume -) head. Nose is strongly sour lemon, odd, sour red berries, faintly puckering oak, strongly lactic, touch vinegar & peat on top. Taste is oddly sour (should it be this way?), lots of lemon, almost touch puckering, clearly sour, strongly lactic, sour oak, berries, dash vinegar leading into a balanced peat, plastic peat & lightly medicinal finish,… Plastic lemon body. The sourness is big, odd & the peat balances well. It is a very strange beer, simple mix of weird puckering lemon & peat. Quirky at first but got hard to drink towards the end. You get a small bit of chili heat here. It got a bit too much towards the end, splitting a bottle might be advised here. Seems to be quite different from the way I remember the 2014 being, even taking the barrel into account, odd. I can see this one being polarizing. It was a bit excessive for me but interesting enough.
