This German classic style bock has been infused with some ceps. It is a malty beer with a strong taste of mushrooms. It is definitely a beer to try

Sampled at RBBWG16 . Thnx for sharing ! Pours unclear amber, small white head. Smell is malty, taste is bit bitter, some german-style yeast. OK, but not really my thing. Luckely, I don’t get to much mushroom taste.

Bottle at RBBWG 2016 in Antwerpen. Hazy, golden amber with a tan head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, brown sugar, nuts and honey. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity taste of caramel, nuts, mushrooms, green apples and honey, followed by a short, slightly bitter finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Weird.

Thank you for sharing Sebletitje! 500 (?) ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG V. This beer is a bock brewed with “eekhoorntjesbrood” / ceps mushrooms. BBF 13.02.2016. Pours a quite murky brown. Nose is murky overripe dough, cacao powder & spread, honey, overly carbonated, strange leaves, sugar, spoiled spices. Taste & body are fizzy, sparkling, bit watery. Nutty taste, fizzy dull dough, light oxidation, minerals, spoiled nuts, cacao powder, wet leaves,… Not very successful for me, questionable base, this is less mushrooms and more just odd sweetness, wet leaves etc. Interesting idea but didn’t really work for me.

Sampled @ Ratebeer Belgian Winter Gathering 2016. Hazy orangy color, small to average sized off-white head. Smell and taste both are a bit weird. Especially the aroma. Taste some jam, sweetish, slightly herbs or spices. Decent body and carbonation. Interesting beer.

Draft @ Beerstorming. Apr§ès avoir dégusté la première version, qui était déjà pas mal, celle-ci propose un effet champignon plus prononcé et qui ont profiter d’une trempette dans de la vodka. Le couleur reste sur l’ambré, col fin blanc-cassé. Le nez offre un bouquet terreux, le profil sous-bois de la première version est là mais le caractère de la vodka semble renforcer ce dernier tout en étant aussi présente. Retrouve un léger côté ester banane de par la levure, malt Munich, je suppose?. Palais met de suite l’accent sur le profil terreux des champis, le tout relevé par cet ajout vodka qui semble conférer une certaine douceur. Le côté umami est là, c’est léger avec une pointe ester. Cara Munich et une légère amertume qui reste tout de même plus en retrait. Agréable, au final je penche plus pour la première version qui ne mettait pas en avant l’usage de vodka.
