330 ml bottle. Pours black with short foamy tan head. Aromas of dark fruity chocolate, creamy vanilla and slick roasted malts. Flavors follow same but also bring out both the raspberry and blueberries with more earthy emphasis on the latter. A nice fruity stout.

Towering off-white head over a little bit of hazy yellow beer; textbook lacerings. Malty nose, other grains, toasted grains, cloth. More other grains, dry cookies and alternative wafers. Rather well-bodied, overcarbonated, slick. OK, I suppose B stands fo Bobette, but if IPA means what it usually means, then will you tell me where are the hops? Txs to Stef!

Off-white, medium head over reddish-pink, finely carboanted hazy beer. Farmyard, fruit (red/pink), faintly lime, and I seem to get indeed pomegranate. Dry, some raspberry, but much more, markedly pomegranate - rare, that. Acidity quite held in check, currant leaves, lemon. Light body (certainly for 7%), fruitslick. Nice! Txs to Stef!

Towering, very dense, lightly yellowish head over slightly orangeish yellow beer, opaque. Mineral, fruity, stonefruit, hint of coriander. Apricot, again hints at saltiness. Quite fruity, some banana. Light acidity, dry finish. Light body, very carbonated and quite slick. Carries the tag 'Gose' with honour. Interesting. Txs to Stef!

In a nice vinyl records store in Antwerp main train station. Chocolate, malts, caramel. A great beer to sip calmly and slowly while you wait for the train

Pours clear, light pale gold. Medium small white head. Scent is very raw, bit 'unfinished', wort-like - with a grassy-floral hoppy undertone. Taste is very similar. Surprisingly (and pleasantly) bitter, floral-grassy hops, but the base is very wort-like. raw and rough, feels unfinished. Drinkable, for sure, but not great.

Small, fast gone just off-white head over clear golden beer, finely carbonated. Very aromatic nose, cilandro, citrus, passion fruit, nectarine, lunaria. A short moment quite bitter, with some retronasal reminders of the above aromas, then going all watery, to finish indifferently bitter. As said, light, watery, soft/medium carbonation. I'll never be a fan of nablab/bwabza's. This one is not going to change my opinion, despite the very attractive nose.

Draught Good yellowish-tan head over fully opaque brown-black beer. Roast, cigarash, breadcrust - I suspect some Maillard - faint fruity esters, overbaked wholemeal bread. Roast, coffee, ashes. Again very faint fruity esters - berries, but as to which... Stout- and fruitacidity in the finish, but warming up, the beer acquires some more sweetness. Full bodied but not heavy - the fruit? Slick. Nice, but IMHO the beer would have benefitted from a higher fruitbill, it would have given it more depth.

Draught Very pale lemon-yellow head, slowly receding over hazy orange beer. Fresh hops, lunaria, point of fruitacid aromas, Linden. Sourish, hints of rhubarb, sour apple, unripe kiwifruit, young celeri, yuzu, lemon, gooseberry. Light to medium bodied, very refreshing; soft if good carbonation. Very nice hybrid, summer special.
