2/VII/22 - 33cl bottle from Deca bottle shop, shared @ Abeels’ place, BB: 2/XI/22, lot A (2022-846)
Little cloudy blond to orange beer, huge aery to creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: spicy, grains, hay, cow fodder, very malty, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very oxidized, unpleasant bitterness, bit chemical, pretty bad, soapy, don’t like it. Aftertaste: rotting fruits, very soapy, herbal, chemical bitterness, very unpleasant, don’t like it at all, bad beer!

Artisanal tripel by Deca, but seemingly developed by a hobby brewer posing as a brewery De Dulle Wies. Gusher, but manageable if you react quickly. Thick, dense and foamy, egg-white, tightly membrane-lacing, very stable, creamy head, misty peach blonde beer with orange hue; very fierce sparkling rises up everywhere through the mist. Aroma of freshly baked bread and bread crust, banana and chewing gum, dried apricots, red apple, persimmon, fried tomato peel, cloves, freshly cut garden thistles, old biscuit crumbles, dried fig, grass, hints of melon, aniseed, lavender and bath foam. Estery onset, quite lively fruity with notes of banana, peach, persimmon and pineapple, sweetish with sourish edges, lively carbonated but not overly harsh in spite of the gushing and strong visual sparkling; smooth-edged, bit resinous mouthfeel, slick caramelly and old-biscuity malts, rather dryish, with thin nutty and eventually somewhat more outspoken toasty bitter sides, covered in a leafy, earthy but also very floral hop bitterness as well as very strong spicy phenolic effects, almost hinting at medicinal, lavender- and fennel seed-like - phenols here are almost as strong as the hops. Still ends fruity and juicy, even with notable honeyish sweetness though not cloying at all, thus maintaining high drinkability, with some minerals lagging behind in the trail that the spicy phenols, toasty-caramelly malts and fruity esters leave behind. Somewhat strange beer, I classified it as a 'strong' Belgian ale here because in spite of carrying 'only' 7%, it claims to be a tripel; this is, however, more of a strong ambrée or Belgian (even Walloon, though the brewery is Flemish) style amber ale. Nutty and a bit toasty, very phenolic, but a tad 'wild' and in all, not unpleasant, like most of Deca's output. I am left wondering who this Dulle Wies brewery really is, but I probably shouldn't bother too much.
