Bottle. Brown color. Artificial raspberry and lemon in the aroma. Sweet perfumed herbal hoppy flavor with lemon, raspberry and coreander. Too perfumed to be really enjoyable.

1/VIII/15 - 33cl bottle from De Zytholoog / Bierloods (Adegem) @ holidays - BB: VIII/2012 (2015-1028)

Significantly better than it's regular cousin, this one-time special brew. Clear dark amber to red brown beer, irregular creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, raspberries, sweet, bit oxidized, malty touch. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit metallic, quite some raspberries, slightly sweet, sourish, bit oxidized. Aftertaste: bitter, metallic, raspberries, but nothing sweet. Oxidation (despite being 4 years older) is much lesser than with the regular version I had.

Special edition of Kerkom’s Bink Bloesem for the brewery’s 130th birthday but was actually brewed at Sint-Jozef. Creamy, pale beige, thin and quickly dissipating head, colour a dark brownish bronze, misty with little sparkling. Complex, sweetish aroma with a smoky hint and impressions of madera wine, honey, pear syrup, smoked meat, iron, coffee grounds, liquorice, chocolate, cloves, soy sauce... Mellow rounded sweetness in the mouth with an orangey touch, honey and pear syrup coming up quickly as in the regular Bink Bloesem, soft carbonation, everything nicely woven into a caramelly and nutty malt base, smokiness appearing in the end (and frankly, a bit disturbing) together with the toasted bitterishness the regular version also has, as well as a bit of grassy hops, finishing long. Interesting but noticeably different from the regular version especially in its smoky touch.

Deutlich fruchtiger und malziger Beginn. Der Antrunk ist erstaunlich mild, die errochenen Noten sind nur in geringen Maßen vorhanden. Dann malziger, süffig, angenehm milder Fruchtigkeit. Etwas oxidiert, würziger Ausklang. Ordentlich. 10/8/9/9/4/9

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, copper golden coloured hue with floaties and a big and beige, dense foamy head. Moderately sweet malty and distinctively fruity aroma of raspberries, accompanied by yeasty and slightly dusty notes. Sweet flavour with sourish fruity and light-bitter influences, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Quite artificial fruity taste with underlying toasty malt and shy hints of caramel, quite perfumed fruity and toasty finish. Does not really work for me. 04.XII.09

Cloudy reddish amber with a medium beige head. Sweet fruity arom that had raspberries, and strawberries. Flavour was sweet quite sweet with raspberries, malt and lollypop notes. Finished very sweet.

Bottled. A deep red beer with an orangey head. The aroma has strong notes of raspberries as well as some notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and some raspberries, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.
