Description
In 1995 Harry van de Wiel decided to establish the Stadsbrouwerij Rotterdam. The brewery is decorated in the style of the old town hall of Delfshaven, the wood-copper kettles in which brewing takes place are a good example of this. In the meantime Harry's son has taken over the stirring stick and continues his father's passion.

Golden colour, medium head. Both aroma and flavour have a lot of vanilla. Coriander and citrus noticable as well. After I had the Pelgrim Pils, it was no surprise this tripel does well, as well! Smooth.

Rerate. Tap @ Brewpub. Flowery and yeasty. -.4

Beautiful dark amber to brown beer, with ruby hints; very huge, mixed head, light brown, leaving lace. Warm, spicey nose (juniper berry, dried savoury?), dark malts, a bit of hard baked puff-pastry. Bitterish-spicey, overlying again a cookie, (dark) cake-like taste, burnt caramel, and as some others said, laurel or some other leafy herb. Medium bodied at best, but a creamy MF, not at all thin. Warming up, the cake-like taste becomes even more marked, with the blooming sweetness. Better than average Bock, thanks to its restrained but peculiar spicing.

Pretty dark for a spring bock. Clear dark orange/brown color. Smelled like salami or 'leverworst'. Dry malty taste and a dry palate.

Sampled draught at Thembi, Maastricht
Mustard yellow, really hazy with brief creamy head. A nose full of vanilla and vinegar. Lightly acidic, well rounded, clean and malty with balsamic finish. Like a strong, blonde Flemish red ale. Tasty and refreshing, but perhaps not very complex.
