Bottle. Murky brown color. Caramel, milk chocolate and red berries in the aroma. Sharp citric flavor, nutty with caramelly sweetness. Upcoming infection, still nice to drink.

Special type of ’fruit’ beer: this ale, introduced in 2011, is made with ground hazelnuts... Creamy, pale beige head, clear copper colour with rusty hue. Bit tart and woody aroma, clearly the effect of the hazelnuts, hints of blueberry, tea, coriander; sourishly dry main taste, a kind of oily, nutty sourishness, a bit coarse but very agreeable once you get used to it, enhanced by chocolatey maltiness, candied fruitiness and a bitterish finish. Strange but very interesting.

first of all, out of the ordenary, i’d like to talk about the bottle ( wel, label) here. its my second beer from this ’brewerie’ (they’re guys making beer at proefbrouwerij, they’re called verhuisbrouwerij themselfs and made lustem as well ) i enjoyed the other one realy much. labels are like de molen, just text. but it says all ! the amount of beer made in the batch ( this ones a 500 l onley ! ) the adress, description, idea of the brewerie, how they make the beer ( specified even the yeast and hops) so yeah ! big fan ! lets see what their second baby will do to me ! first thing to do, is it proves to be a GUSHER. it was brewed october 8, bottled november 5th. today is november 3th 2012. 2 years old, still a gusher ... dark, orange brown ( they make SUCH nice colours ! ) white, maybe some small brownish part foam, wich keeps getting.. bigger (?) dont even know hos this is possible :p not so much of a smell taste: not that carbonated at all ! not that its flat neither, its just how it should be. a little ’sourness’ kind of hint to it, warmth, reminds me of a beer like the struise make their good stuff ( panbnepot etc) yet it something totaly diffrent though, its just .. so good quality, complexity, balanced,.. how does this get so low ratings? realy drinkable. it has this candysugary thing in it ( wich may explain me thinking of pannepot? ) anyway its so light, you can drink it like a lager. yet so complex, tastefull in the back of your mouth. its a beer that says hello, enjoy me like watter, and whispers behind it ’ and i taste great too’ (if that description makes any scence ) deffinetly recomended ! these brewers do better than 99 % of belgian brewers ! respect ! other detail : this is the first batch (the one i had)

2/07/2011 33cl bottle @ Oostendse Bierjutterij (2011-301)
Pretty clear, reddish brown beer with a ruby glare. Light beige head, unstable and non adhesive. Aroma: caramel, dried fruits, bit sour. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity, sour red berries, green apple skin, a little bitter. Aftertaste: more apple skin, bitter ending. Where's the winter in this beer? The sweet malts, or the nuts for that matter? Did it get infected? Who knows...

Huge, dense beige head over fully hazy mahogany beer. Dry-woody aromatic nose, dry bark spices. Spicey taste, even medicinal, and strange herbs. Further more wood, and some hints at both alcohol and wheat. Retronasal I get hazelnut oil. More sweet than bitter, but warming up, it develops an outspoken sourish, lactic streak that keeps growing. Medium bodied at least, quite slick and CO²-champenoise feel. Bit seriously spice beer; but totally different from the habitual Glühwein spices. Better than homebrew, but the sourness worries me.
