Bottle at Kerstbierfestival, Essen: Hazy amber coloured brew, with an sourish taste, maybe this was an brew-failure.

Hazy brown body. Lightly brown creamy head. Aroma of honey, dark malts, brown sugar, caramel. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter remarkably fresh flavour for a brown beer.

Hazy orange body. Aroma of orange, honey, flowers. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Very decent, yet misses some additional carbonation.

One of the latest beers from this extremely small but tenacious brewery, 75 cl bottle bought at Diesters Bierfestival. Thick, soapy, rocky, off-white, moussy head leaving a perfectly circular rim around the edge of the glass after a while, as well as a thick, papery lacing. Colour is a brownish ’dark amber’, misty from the start, which is usually not a good sign. Aroma kicks me with a lot of sewer water, damp forest floor, freshly ploughed spring farmland, wet mushroom and even menure (in the bad sense of the word, meaning very off-putting and even slurry-like!); clearly the dreaded H2S has struck here among with other off-flavours, overpowering more pleasant accents of caramel, a lot of clove-like phenols, milk chocolate, nutmeg, dried leaves, coriander seed, chestnuts, soaked brown bread, white pepper, some cocoa powder, unripe peach, dried sage and tea. Estery taste, strong presence of ripe pear, hints of figs, peaches and medlar, soft carbo, supple and notably resinous, smooth mouthfeel, lean caramelly malt basis, sweetish, bready and a tad chocolatey somewhere; finishes very yeasty, starch-like with a lightly powdery mouthfeel, paired with a sharpish edge of toasted malts as well as lingering fruit esters and a touch of herbal, earthy hops lacking in bittering power. Yeasty, almost cooked potato- or turnip-like earthiness lingers in the throat along with caramel malt sweetness and a deep, slightly spicy hop bittering accent; some warming alcohol shows up too, but (fortunately) only in the very end. Resinous and slowly drying coriander ’bittersweetness’ lingers as well, not a big surprise in this kind of beers. Lacks a bit of body for a dubbel, but that is not its biggest problem: the main issue here is a bacterial infection, leading to a slurry pit-like aroma which will appeal to no one, not even those who are used to ’dirty’ artisanal Belgians. It kept irritating me throughout the whole bottle, though I must admit that it did retreat almost completely after half an hour, giving more ’oxygen’ to the other aromas. Schuur’s beers, a rarity to begin with, are often hit or miss: this one to me is clearly a miss. By the way: I assume not many bottles of this brew have been put onto the market, but in any case my sample has a label which differs from the one on the photograph to the left...

75cl bottle sample, thanks Tderoeck. Orangé, col fin blanc. Arôme de levure belge, ester, pointe houblonné très noble, malt pâle caramel en rétro, rien de spécial. Palais reste sur une dominance très belge et maintes fois revu. Aspect farineux et épais, ester, malt pâle, carapils, houblonné fort centré sur du noble et apportant un côté légèrement fleuri et fruité avec une once d’épicé perçant en toute fin de bouche. Retrouve un fini ester avec une pointe de banane, sans plus.

Huge, lightly yellowish head over very well-carbonated pale golden beer. Bit alcoholic nose, lightly caramelized malts, spice (citruszeste). Citrus, white candi sugar, alcohol, gradually getting more spicy, rootspices and coriander. Given the necessary amount of alcohol, some will get merry. This beer isn’t going to do it, at least not for me. Not much to jubilate about.

Very limitedly produced strong ale with light yellowish beige, irregular, sticky, stable head and deep brownish coppery colour, clear but misty with deposit. Estery fruity and alcoholic aroma, walnuts, coffee liqueur, cognac, orange peel, candi sugar, pear, apple sauce, cake, smoked meat, chocolate. Soft fruity and yeasty taste with medium strong carbonation, caramel sweetness, touch of drying coriander, bitter sweet and resinous but thin body, slick, peppery and gingery hints blending with floral hops in the finish, which otherwise shows a dry, warming, brandyish alcohol effect, a bit astringent and not well hidden. This is a Belgian-style ’barley wine’ or something but definitely not a tripel - or it is totally untrue to the intended style.
