Shortlived cream-coloured head over clear, pale copper beer. Honey, spices, thyme, bit sharpish nose, solvent. Sweet, thyme, gum, rubber, mead. Alcoholsweetness (and -burn, of course), enhanced by the honey. Finish is almost raw alcohol. Very oily feel, however, viscous, low carbonation. Sorry guys, but this can't convince me. The spices lend this braggot something really artificial, it's as chewing on an eraser. Txs to Stef!

Draught Medium, stable cream-yellow head over brownish tinted black beer. Coffee, café au lait, Café Noir cookies, light roast and a faint mineral streak. Mocha, black & milkchocolate mixed, koffiebonen. Roasted nuts, coffeecream. Medium bodied, quite slick, good carbonation. Decent, amusing porter, difficult (and not necessary) to substyle.

Draught Very dense & fine yellow head, leaving lace over fully hazy ochre-ish beer, lively carbonated. Fresh C-hops, straw, nectarine, citruspeel. Very inviting indeed! More of the same in the oral cavity. Absolutely excellent and intruiging choice of hops with clear fruit(peel) flavours, just a touch of resin, bit straw adn not a trace of asafoetida, ureum nor hopburn. Well carbonated, spritzy, bit slick, medium bodied. This is without doubt one of Flanders' finest true IPA's.

Bottle @ Cabardouche. Dark brown body under a tan head. Slightly alcoholic with dark malt for a quad, balanced oak and dry fruit. Warming finish. Nice.

Bottle @ Cabardouche. Hazy golden body under a white head. Refreshing fruity in aroma and taste. Prety average NEIPA style beer with a thin body and strong fruity aroma.

Tap @ Cabardouche. Unclear orange golden body under a big, white head. Quite mild in aroma, but rather strong in taste. Not as sweet as expected from a triple, some zesty frutiness and bitterness. Balanced body with long lasting aftertaste. Unusually as a triple, and a bit messy in general term.

Tap @ Cabardouche. Unclear golden body under a white head. Nice and refreshing blond’ish beer with balancing hop and a hint of orange peel. Nice thirst quencher and goes really well down at the terrasse in the sun outside the brewpub a nice autumn day.

Bottle @ Bier Central, Antwerpen. Black body under a moderate sized beige head. Kinda complex in aroma, dark malt, dry fruit, cocoa powder and quite camouflaged alcohol. Taste is medium sweet, dark mat, mild chocolate flavour, a bit more alcohol than expected from aroma and some kind of undefined ‘medical’ something. Not bad, not fantastic but easy drinkable and a bit odd.
