On tap at Bondgenoot Craft Beer Festival. Very dark ruby pour with a thin tan head. Metal, generic hop bitterness, corn, roasted malts. Quite thin bodied for its style, with a roasty-bitter aftertaste.

Quite good yellowish head, dense, fed by well-carbonated coldhazed amber beer. Cakebottom/syrup, maltsyrup, fresh, lightly coloured malts, garden weeds. Dryish coloured malts, faintly fruity hops, but also dried fruit. After some time, the bitterness from the hops start accumulating. Dry, nearly wry but still sticky. Rather well-bodied, certainly for 5%. Far from bad.

Very good dark-cream head, irregular, over opaque cola-coloured beer. Chocolate malt, hint at mocha, dry husks, black cardamome, bit ashy. Demure. Sweetish, dark malts. Hint of chocolate. Not much going on. Light to medium bodied, quite slick and outspoken creamy texture. Needs a lot more hopbite, too abashed.

Medium, cream-beige head over deep cola-coloured beer. Dark cookies, parsley, melanoidins, dark green leaves, molasses, dark sweet bread. Dark malts, again parsley, brown bread, bit of raisins welled in water. Medium bodied at best. Bit watery feel, certainly for a 7% dubbel. Superfluous. Jens @Slot Oostende proves it can be done differently.

Small orangeish head, fast gone over coldhazed orange-golden beer, well-carbonated. Bit caramelly nose - grassy too. Herbal, orangepeel. Caramel, toasted malts. Finish is dry (ier), straw-liek, but once the aftertaste settled, it remains rather to the sweet side, if a tad wry- rootspices. Warming up, obvious bananaester. There is some alcohol, rather light (to medium) bodied. Despite all the blurb, run-of-the-mill. Been there, done that.

Small, fine & dense yellowish head over (cold)hazed golden beer, finely carbonated. "Beery" nose (pale malts mainly, some hops, CO², sweet, stale). Finish from green leaves and grass. Quite bitter flavour initially, again grassy (and gassy), dry but finishing mildly sweeter. Anyway hoppier than the nose suggested. Feels remarkably spritzy, at the brink of overcarbonation; bit burning MF; light body. Decent but for the carbonation.

Very good yellow-cream head, pitting in over beautiful, clear deep oxyde-red beer, well carbonated. Faint caramel & biscuit, parsley, green leaves and a touch of rosewater’ hops, amandine. Quite bitter and dry, leafy, but also earthy. Just-not-roast, melanoidins. Only in the aftertaste, a hint of caramel/syrup returns as if something concentrated was added. Pretty well-bodied for 6% ABV. Probably explains the concentrated impression. Good carbonation; long dry MF. A twist indeed. For me, it’s not a black IPA, but I would be hard pressed to say WHAT it is, then. Which is a good thing.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel and some spice. Taste is really sweet, with caramelised malt, toffee, raisin and a little spice. Just typical.

Explosive build-up of lightly yellowish thick head, finally giving way to well-carbonated, clear copper beer. Herbal, weed-like aroma, dry (root)spices. Again spicy, but also bready taste. Clear wheat acidity (remarkable, seen their very un-wheatlike Weizen). Bit of caramel with a faint suggestion at maltsweetness, and some bittering hops. Very slick, but not more than medium bodied; very lively carbonation. Quite decent, very acceptable interpretation.

Fluffy, somewhat irregular off-white head, with a bit of lace, fed by very lively carbonated orangey-golden beer, hazy. End of bottle full Hefe. Nose with aroma of fresh pipetobacco, if fleetingly, then orangezeste, flattening in time. Maybe a tad of solvent remaining; Bitterish. Again some tobacco! dry leaves, very faint caramel. Finish shows some wheat, but hardly any acidity. Solvent again arriving late, the only typical Weizen feature. Bit sticky, not very well bodied, but very carbonated. Strange beer, certainly for a "Weizen".
