Noest is a dark, mildly sour beer with delicate notes of toasted bread, cacao and red fruit. It was aged in a stainless steel fermenter for 6 months. We fermented it with traditional English yeast and matured it with Brettanomyces, which gives this beer its exciting vinous character.
Noest tastes like a love affair between a porter and a Flemish red, which is not so strange if you consider that Flemish red is actually derived from early porters.
Where modern porters are usually quite sweet and full, Noest is subtle and dry and that's exactly how we want it to be: a beer that will lift you up and quench your thirst when you come home from work, be it summer or winter!

2019/02/09 Bottle at home (as Noest). Clear dark brown with offwhite head. Sour rye malts, dusty, distant, sour rotting oak and dark fruit, chestnutty, sour balsamic. Dry, watery, bitter and light sour. About medium body and low carbonation. Bit sad rainbarrel water. Least favorite Nevel beer I recently tried. Love the golden sours. [6/6/7/6/7]. //// Another chance for this one at 11/28/2019. Noest b#1. From bottle. Dark brown pour with offwhite head. Nutty, woody, rotten oak rainbarrel, chestnut, coffee roast, cola, softening liquorice-like herbs, brett, soft vanilla touch, some horsey lambic funk, hints toward sourness but not even really there. Nice soft bitter and fruity sweetness, deep oaky character. Medium body and soft carbonation. Powdery dry finish, quite a treat.
