Ripe apple & pear, herbs & spices, mezcal. Sweet apple & pear, white sugar, some spices. Peppery & herbal hops, dash of mezcal or vodka. Quite okay.

Bouteille 33cl, dégustée à Ixelles lors du Dia de los muertos à la maison de la culture Malibran. BB?
Dorée/pâle, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé assez tenace.
Arôme est correcte restant dans une approche belge triple classique - fins esters, effet de booze. Houblonné en support en rétro-nasal mais avec un effet du mezcal qui reprend le dessus - sans pour cela être dérangeant.
Palais reste sur une approche de triple belge très classique - ici le tout se voit rehaussé par l'apport de mezcal dans la bière. Ce dernier confère une petite pointe d'agrumes et léger en épices. Ce denrier apporte un plus à une bière qui sans cela aurait pu passer comme banale. Je retrouve en retrait un houblonné noble belge surfant sur des notes florales et terreuses moyennes.

Mezcal-infused tripel (a first for me) by De Meester, from a bottle at Mexcalli, a Mexican-themed bar in Ghent, housed in the part of the old Baudelo monastery that under French occupation and until deep into the 20th century served as a public library. Eggshell-white, moussey, medium thick, largely stable but eventually nonetheless dissolving, over a hazy peach blonde beer with warm, deep orange glow. Aroma of old bread, indeed noticeable spicy mezcal but also ‘graanjenever’ or gin, dry earth, some DMS (cooked green cabbage), bitter garden weeds, apricots, straw, unripe peach, cold pasta, moist white pepper. Sweetish, fruity onset but not wildly estery, rather restrained notes of apricot, pear and Cape gooseberry, fizzily carbonated with smooth body; white-bready core with thin biscuity and caramelly edges, developing a spiciness at first connecting with floral hops, then a more white-peppery effect from the mezcal and lastly a strongly ‘jenever’-like effect from the beer’s own alcohol, which, in the very end, proves stronger than the mezcal itself. Still, this perfectly controlled sweet fruitiness and general smoothness and ‘cleanness’ do their best to counter this effect so all things considered, not the worst tripel around, even if the mezcal is completely redundant to me.

Bottle at Het Mouterijtje Kortrijk. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Earthy hoppy aroma. Some peach and banana esters. Some more white stone fruit flavours in the mouth. Peach nectarine. Some fruit sweetness then dry finish. Rich ripe.

Pours fairly clear (before yeast addition ) blonde, darker side of blonde to be fair. Medium large white head. Scent is very tripel-typical, as it shows banana esters and phenols typical to a triple, as well as maltyness, a mild touch of (earthy) hops, and quite some balance between al these factors. Taste is sharp, smokey ( I guess that's the mlescal reference? ) the smoke is a real surprise, as I didn't get that in the scent myself, and didn't expect it. it truly is mescal-like smoke as well, not like the rauchbeers we all know (and some love) . medium body, medium high to high carbo (as is the style I guess) and a fairly common, yet well executed triple base. it might not be my favorite style, it might not be my favorite tweak ( not a smoke fan) , I must give my respects to this original take . Very well executed as well. One tripel to seek out , if you want to get a new experience in this overly produced style (at least in BE) where only the very few have a different story to tell.

The 'massieve ale' (strong dubbel) in this series of Pottelbergh beers from Kortrijk, bottle from Dranken Pauwels shared with Steve. Medium thick, very mousy, membrane-lacing, opening, egg-white head on a hazy mahogany brown beer wiht ruddy hue. Aroma of hard caramel, ruby port, fresh thyme, clove, cranberry coulis, bubblegum, tea, 'jenever', brown honey, nutmeg, damp tree leaves, dried porcini. Sweetish, fruity onset, cooked red apple, medlar and pear, hint of sourish dried blackberries, medium carbonation with smooth mouthfeel, quite full; lingering candi sugariness over a hard-caramelly and brown-bready maltiness, sweet but carrying a soft toasty-bitter edge, leading to a very boozy finish with badly hidden, 'jenever'-like alcohol destroying the initially pleasant flavours rather than uniting them into a whole. Herbal hop bitterishness, candi sugar, clove-like phenols and caramel malt flavours turn out strong enough to survive this booze onslaught, though - but do not succeed in entirely saving the balance here. Too boozy and too phenolic for me, need finetuning, but I have to admit that the general idea is a promising one (if very classically styled) so this Rustiek Bruin could one day turn into a very solid quadrupel, if the Pottelbergh people are prepared to work on it a bit...
