Post Borefts I jaunt to De Heeren van Liedekercke. A dark green beer with a light green head!! Mint and aged malt nose. Cooling smooth peppermint and mint. Has retained it’s core character even after 19 years (Kudos to the DHVL cellar as well). A little malt at the end but pretty much swamped with cooling mint. A great beer to upset people with! He he!

25cl really old bottle at DHVL on a roadtrip. Thanks to Ken, MadMitch for buying this as I can’t see anyone else having the balls to do so. Anyway, you know what? It’s not as bad as everyone made it out to be. Yes it’s green as hell, but clear and a slightly greenish white head. Peppermint on aroma. Bit of must. Mint like mouthwash and even some walnuts from the mustiness on the flavour. So it’s a minty mouthwash, but it has no off flavours and not as bad as some things I had this weekend.

Bottle 25cl. [ Vintage 1990 ].Clear dark brown color with a average, fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to light green head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, sweet vintage malt, minty and minty. Flavor is light heavy sweet with a long to average duration, and a minty burnt in the finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20081212]

(Bottle 25 cl) One thing you soon learn as a Belgian beer lover is never to be surprised: not by name, bottle, style or flavour. So although I did find a peppermint beer rather odd, then again - so many Belgians are? And by Huyghe standards nothing is odd really. The beer pours golden with a small, creamy head. Aroma is pure mint. Flavour is pure, sweet mint - nothing else really. I believe the base beer is a blond ale. Refreshing all right when served cold. Wonder how big a market share Huyghe has for this....beer. 050498
