This 1894 was specially created to celebrate the brewery’s 120th anniversary. Five generations of familyrun brewing, proudly providing innovative beers in a unique bottle. 1894 is a daring combination of a strongly hopped blonde tripel and a very refreshing oak-aged beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle.

Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. Unclear golden body under a big head. Medium sweet, moderate oak, moderate hops, a bit floral and a light funky hint. Quite nice, but somehow I was expecting a bit more from this package.

750 ml corked & caged bottle, as De Brabandere 1894 Oak & Hops, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.0%. Moderately hazy golden colour, enormous white head, lasts "forever". Pleasant aroma of mild spices, hoppy notes of citrus and tropical fruits, also notes of oak. Moderately sour flavour, notes of brettanomyces and oak, spicy notes, some fruitiness, medium bitter finish.

hazy pale yellow colour, moderate sized dense (off-)white head; aroma of woody, balsamic acid, acetone and maybe some fruity-peachy notes; taste is quite similar to the aroma with definite tartness; quite good one
