0,33 bottle. I tasted an earlier, weaker, already withdrawn version of this famous beer, let's see the new one. It was a gift, with its own beautiful glass, which I thank you very much for!
Appearance: beautiful, unfiltered, amber color, with a huge cream-colored head, the size of the bubbles of which increases over time, but the amount just doesn't want to decrease... Nice. Aroma: dried plum, dried red fruit, with quality cognac and caramel in the background. The fruitiness is fresher than usual for strong Belgians, it really indicates quality hopping. The taste is almost the same as the aroma: very delicate, sweet, aszú, raisin base flavor followed by fresh hop bitterness, with some caramel. Here too, I can tell that it is much more bitter than other known strong Belgian bases. Body: strong, sharp carbonation, maybe more like medium body, the alcohol is a little noticeable, it's not 100% hidden. A really excellent beer, maybe the reason it didn't get more points: Belgian candy sugar aftertaste - although I can't see if it's there or not - and a slightly waterier sip than expected. Great, well-made amber stuff!

Ennek a híres sörnek egy korábbi, gyengébb, már visszavonult verzióját kóstoltam, lássuk az újat. Ajándék volt, saját gyönyörű pohárral, amit itt is köszönök szépen!
Külalak: gyönyörű, szűretlen, borostyán szín, hatalmas krémszínű habbal, aminek a buborék-méretei idővel nőnek, de a mennyisége csak nem akar csökkenni... Nice. Aroma: aszalt szilvás, aszalt piros gyümölcsös, háttérben minőségi konyakkal és karamellel. A gyümölcsösség frissebb mint szokott az erős belgáknál, tényleg minőségi komlózásra utal. Az íz az aromával majdnem megegyezik: nagyon finom, édeskés, aszús, mazsolás alapíz után friss komló-keserűség, némi karamellel. Itt is meg tudom állapítani, hogy jóval keserűbb a többi ismert strong belga- alapnál. Korty-testesség: erősen, szúrósan szénsavas, talán inkább csak közepes test, az alkohol azért picit érződik, nincs 100%-osan elbújtatva. Tényleg kiváló sör, talán ami miatt nem kapott még ennél is több pontot: belga kandiscukros mellékíz - bár nem látom, hogy van-e benne, vagy sem - illetve icipicit vizesebb korty a vártnál. Remek, jól odatett borostyán cucc!
gave a cheers!

14/II/24 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared with Brambo @ home, BB: 28/VIII/26, T3 14:39 (2024-104)
Clear to little cloudy orange beer, a big solid creamy off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, yeasty, reminds me of a Blanche de Namur, rose water, lots of coriander. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: very yeasty, floral, a little bitter, floral, sweet, rose water. Aftertaste: sugary, more yeast, a bit malty, spicy, coriander.
gave a cheers!

Serious gushing to huge cream-coloured head over deep copper-amber beer, very carbonated and textbook lace. Sharpish peppery malts, dry hops, caramel, banana. Caramel, sweet malts, almondy.. Finish is a tad peppery, white pepper. Again sweet banana, brioche. Very carbonated, quite slick, even a bit sticky. Faint alcoholwarmth and -burn. Average. Txs to Stef!
