Pours clear blonde, huge white head. Smell is malty , very sweet ( annoying sweetness, a mixture of honey-like aspects and Sugar, with some malty sweetness to it as well ) Taste is bit bitter, malty, very yeasty though. Sweetness is way more OK than i would have thought, but this is ’just another’ Belgian ale that actually turns out to be a yeasty blonde, bit bitter beer. We already have too much of those, and from a Brewery like this, i simply have more expectations...

At Billies Bierkafetaria in Antwerp, generously shared by a fellow craft beer enthusiast. Lacing, off-white, medium sized head over a hazy, deep reddish coppery amber beer. Aroma strongly reveals peated and lightly iodine-like whisky indeed, wet wood, strawberry, yoghurt, candied cherry, pine nuts, sherry. Fruity onset, marmelade hint, red berry sourishness, medium carbo, supple caramelly malt backbone, smooth and a tad oily; tart (and unexpected!) yoghurty and sherryish flavours build a bridge to a gently woody, drying finish of juicy maltiness paired with peppery accents (the hops, I suppose) and the expected retronasal peat, strong but not so strong that it would ruin this for me. An interesting find, original conceptually even for a new Belgian brewer, and technically well executed: I’m beginning to fall in love with these new Cabardouche ladies...

5/XII/15 - 33cl bottle @ Billies Bier Kafétaria (Antwerpen) - BB: n/a (2015-1687) Thanks to John for sharing the bottle!

Clear dark orange beer, creamy yellowish head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: shoe shop, very leathery, some fresh paint, bit chemical, fruity touch, dusty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, lemon juice, fruity, soft peat, bit chemical. Aftertaste: bitter, citrus, peated, bit infected? Soapy bitterness, funky, quite some peat in the end, bit weird.
