Bouteille 33cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck & Didier @ Tim's Brewfist Italian night.
Léger rosé, col fin blanc-cassé peu tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet léger fruité de framboise, le gin perce en rétro-nasal avec un retour plaisant de la framboise dans son côté terreux.
Palais présente une fine aigreur laissant passer le tout vers une veille brune ou Franders red plutôt qu'une simple bière fruitée. L'apport de la framboise est bien là avec un léger côté terreux - le volet d'infusion de gin apporte ce côté de baies de genévrier sans pour cela dominer le palais avec un caractère alcoolisé trop dominant. Maintient une plaisante douceur malgré son penchant 'sour'.

Special edition of Enfant Terriple, Leite's standard tripel, infused with Belgian whisky from Filliers (which does not mean a whole lot in the whisky world, frankly speaking). Bottle from the Delhaize supermarket at the Watersportbaan in Ghent. Huge, foamy, stable, egg-white, cobweb-lacing, frothy head on a misty deep ochre-hued golden beer. Aroma of whisky but in a 'peppery' and herbal way (more gin- or jenever-like to be honest) dominating over freshly baked bread and wet bread crumbs, coriander seed, Poire William or even triple sec (probably just that Filliers whisky again), moist white pepper, paprika powder, banana peel, cow fodder, grain husks, dry earth, fried zucchini. Sweetish onset but very restrainedly so for the style, some light pear, banana and apple peel notes, quickly drying though, with sharp, bit stingy carbonation and full, somewhat 'fluffy' mouthfeel. Old bread- and cereal-like pale maltiness with a touch of wet rusk under phenolic clove-like spiciness along with coriander, but very low in residual sugariness, drying even more into a florally hopped, mildly bitter finish where in the end the booze takes over completely, over a bed of earthy dead yeast powderiness. The whisky, not the most elegant in its class, leaves a wry, peppery, warm astingency in the back of the mouth, scorching away the beery features. Unpleasant ending of an unusually dry, but frankly also somewhat 'arid' tripel. This is a very good example of what I dislike about this liquor infused craze in Belgian strong ales: it is lazy (beating around the bush of actual barrel ageing which yields far more interesting results), usually unbalanced, crude and uninspired. Not my thing - even apart from the fact that in general, boozy tripels are not quite my thing to begin with...

Clear yellow/amber pour with a somewhat stable white head. Aromas of grapes, rum, raisins, pineapple, white bread. Taste is rum, orange/marmalade, raisins, pineapple, grapes, sugar. Quite boozy finish - definitely feeling the rum.

Aromas are malt, sour, funk, oak. Flavors are similar to nose, moderately tart, add in some stone fruit and citrus. Decent body and carbonation. Sweet tart finish. Pretty good.

Reddish purple colour, small white head. Aroma is mild tart fruits with some red sweet berries as well as some mild toffeeish and biscuity tones. Flavour is cherries, some mild red grapes, a bit alcohol, spicines and oaky tones to it. Quite intense and nice.

Bottle at 't hof van beroep. Hazy gold orange colour lasting rocky white head. Spicy blond and caramel on aroma. Actually pretty drinkable. Then the heat cones in on the end. A strong spicy hoppy blond with whisky burn coming on at the end. Kicks ass. Good beer.
