21/I/20 - 75cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: n/a (2020-70)
Clear orange beer, big creamy dense off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sulphur notes, some ripe banana, bit fruity, solvents, some alcohol, caramel, hint of vanilla pretty well hidden till the end… too bad. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, malty, lots of ripe banana, bit chemical, some vanilla. Aftertaste: pretty chemical still, sweet, sugary and syrupy, sticky, ripe banana, vanilla notes, rather unpleasant phenol, banana peel, cloves, disappointing this one…

Tap @ VAF 2018 / 01.12. Yellow pour, lightly hazy. Nose has a bit of booze, deep malts and a bit of sourish fruits. Tastes a bit boozy, dry oak, spicy a bit. Booze bitterness remains in the finish. Light nail-polish but still good.
