Drank in ’t Oud Arsenaal, Antwerp, (on-tap) out of a Bolleke. Friday afternoon in March 2007, day before Zythos fest. Looked good, dark red with a good head. Smelt of cherries, overpoweringly of cherries. Tasted of fizzy cherries, with marzipan and sweet/bitter citrus notes. The taste stayed, with the marzipan hanging around longer than the other flavours. Not really my ’cup of tea’, but OK.

Draught@Oud Arsenaal. Amber colour, beige mediumsized creamy head. Aroma is nuts, fruity hops and yeast. Flavour is almond, some fruits and yeast. A lot of other nuttyness in it too. Different thing, but not necessarily among my favourite brews...

Bottle. Almond and artificial cherry aroma. Orange amber, low head. Spicy almond cake - biscotti flavor really. Rather thin on the palate. Apple retronasal. Needs more oomph.

Draught Deep clear amber; very good, fine light-beige head, receding. Slightly sourish, fruity nose, hint of Brett (???), perfume which (by association?) reminds me of crème de marrons. Taste has more sourish, besides rosewater and vanilla. Despite the acidity, there is a very high level of sweet. My companion says "cotton candy", retronasal. Every new sip gives vanilla and some other, perfumey herb. Slight slickness, even stickyness. Not my idea of beer, let alone De Koninck. Still - I like the historic name, as well as the idea.

Draught. Perfumy, soapy, candyish aroma. Dark amber colour, small head. The flavour is a lot like the aroma, perfumy, bubble gum, anis, bonbon. Caramel aftertaste. The alcohol is not very present in the flavour. Not too bad, but weirdly perfumy.

Tap, Deugniet den Bosch. Clear amber color, thick creamy off-white head. Aroma is spicy, cinnamon, sweet amber malt, bubblegum. Slightly sour taste, sweet, cinnamon indeed, bit flowery, some chestnut. Good balance, though quite sweet. I liked it actually.
