Reinaert Grand Cru, Fläschchen aus Tausch mit JefVerstraete - thanks, Jef! - Kastanienrotbraun, trüb. - In der Nase warmes dunkles Malz, belgische obergärige Hefe, reiche rote Frucht (Waldbeeren), Bitterorangenschale, Likör. - Antrunk sahnig weich und satt röstmalzig mit reicher dunkler Frucht (Brombeere), Brotkruste, Mokka und Bitterschokolade. Etwas zu deutlich zuckrige Süße geht in solide krautige Hopfenherbe über. Milder rezent, vollmundig bis mastig, wärmend alkoholisch. Im Abgang leicht trocken, fein malzbitter und solide hopfenherb mit Noten von Anis. - Dieses belgische Starkbier gefällt mir besser als erwartet: es ist füllig, komplex bittersüß und erstaunlich aromatisch gehopft. Bloß die Fruchtigkeit ist mir etwas zu penetrant. (18.1.2024.)

0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy amber with medium light tan head. Head retention is good. Aroma of honey, flowery, malt base. Taste is heavy sweet and light to medium bitter and slightly acidic. It is a sweetness bomb. Finish starts sweet that slowly, slowly fade. Too sweet for my taste, but it's bold and different...

Bottle, 2012 from Todd. Pours a amber hue with almost no head. No carb really. A big sour woody nose, quite nice. Light sour cherry, funk, some sour sawdust. Smooth. Way past its prime.
