A clear golden beer with a small but fast disappearing head. The aroma is light with notes of sweetness, a good maltblend, and creamyness. The flavor is a little flat with wheat sweetness. It is very smooth. A really good tasting beer.

Hazy yellow color, medium sized, medium lasting head. Spicy aroma, coriander. Belgian white taste, but more sweet. Sticky body, not as refreshing as most other whites. Quite dry finish even.

A slightly unclear orange beer with a small but fast disappearing head. The aroma is fresh and powerful with notes of sweetness, alcohol, and fruit. The flavor is lovely, containing notes of alcohol, maltsweetness, and ending on a slight bitterness. A beer with a great balance.

Hazy golden color. Sweet aroma, with a hint of sourness. Can't really get to it, still some sweetness and alcohol, without a good malt or a hop character; cloying.

Botled. The colour is very dark, although e.g. Westvleteren Abt is also very black, this black reminds me of Cola. Little bit sweet, bit malty aroma. When I thougth it looked only like Cola, it even tastes like. But yeah, it's a table-beer ...

Clear golden ale. Thick white head, big bubbles. Nose is dry, hop-bitter, spices, maybe medicinal. Taste is quite dry, but underlying sweetness. Spicey, fruity, yeast. Mouthfeel dominated by the dryness, not very full. No adstringency. Aftertaste consists of restrained bitterness, building up, without ever fully losing the sweet founding. One of Belgiums' better Duvel challengers. With the takeover of Louwaege by ScotCourage, probably due for extinction. See also Thouroutenaere. This bottle BBd: 5/04

Thouroutenaere is probably the same as Hapkin. Webbs' GBG calls it an organic version. Highly unlikely - this would be mentionned on the label. With the closing of Louwaege imminent, this beer is supposedly still brewed in Kortemark (BBd: 11/03) Pale golden with greenish shine (Chablislike). Very thick, white head, big bubbles. Nose is yeasty, banana, honey-ish, edicinal. taste is very dry, then a sweetness develops, slightly spicey, a bit fruity. Mouthfeel characterised by the dryness, nearly dusty. A bit af adstringency even develops. Alcohol. Aftertaste is bitterness becoming pronounced - in a very dry way. Intersting, complicated 'taste-traject'.

Botled. Very clear and bright colour. Between red wine and whisky. No intense aroma. The flavour isn't very clearly pronunciated either. Little sweet. And where did the palate go to? I expected more of this beer.

1994 vintage, sampled 2003.
Hazy light copper; aroma shows apple fruitiness, brandy, lots of malt. Sweet, plums, apples, oxidized malts. Herbal, dry finish still manages to show some more sherryish malt notes.
