Black with thin head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of toasted and roasted malts. Lasting burnt bittersweetness the finish. Some dark caramel too.

Black with lasting thin head. Texture is very thick and oily. In the background of the flavout there's some caramelised red fruit accompanying the dark malts. Sweet and rich.

Frisian tripel in Belgian style, thanks Craftmember for this anniversary present! 'Brugse kant' kind of lacing around the edge, medium thick, egg-white, regularly shaped head gradually showing gaps here and there, atop a lightly hazy straw blonde beer with warmer golden hue, misty and deeper ochre-ish with sediment added. Aroma of banana mush, bubblegum, dried out yellow raisins, industrial honey, powder sugar, freshly cut grass, old blankets and a touch of freshly ironed T-shirt, old wrinkled pears, dust, baker's yeast and plaster, coriander seed, young 'jenever', candied pineapple, sugared camomile tea, hand soap, potato mash, steamed turnip, vague cauliflower. Fruity, crisp onset, lots of banana-flavouring isoamylacetate, candy apple, pineapple and a hint of ripe yellow plum, residual white candi sugar syrup but acceptable for the style, sourish undertone, minerally carbonation effects, bit fizzy. Rounded, full, smooth mouthfeel; cereally, white bready malt sweetish body, grainy basis made a tad thicker and sweeter by residual white sugary sweetness, bit honeyish but thinly so. Underlying sourishness persists and seems to become a bit more outspoken in the finish, where a grassy, floral hop bitterishness is added, mildly bittering, its bittering properties highlighted by gin-like, warming alcohol while a lightly soapy coriander seed note develops. Spicy phenols appear too, but restrainedly so. Ends with quite a lot of 'jenever'-like booze though apparently manages to avoid downright wryness, while coriander seed, banana ester and grainy malt flavours linger at the back. If the aim was to make a sweetish-tilted, mediocre, simple and straightforward Belgian tripel: mission accomplished, though in a province with around fifteen active breweries and beer companies, I would be surprised if not one of them can manage to brew a tripel of greater proportions than this one, which basically reiterates a style of beer - even in the details - I probably had a few times too many in its (and my) home country. Technically well-performed, though, so in comparison with the abundancy of Belgian tripels populating the style's home country, this is not all bad. BrouwDOK should not focus too much on this, I believe: there are so many other, more rewarding styles to tackle which, this and other beers (The Dude!) taken into consideration, they should be able to pull off just fine.

from tap @LentebierFestival Leeuwarden 2018, hazy yellow/golden with a white head. aroma of straw, hay, malts, and some hops, Taste is pretty bitter, gcitrus, rass, straw, hay, hops, still it's noticeable that the beer is over it's top in terms of freshness, longlasting hop-bitter finish

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A almost black beer with a huge most good lasting beige head. Aroma of dark riped fruits, dark mild roated malt, some coffee. Taste of dark riped fuits, prunes, raisins, some coffee, semi strong body.

Many thanks to ShivanDragon for this bottle! Dry grainy beginning. Minty hints of polaris hops, fresh grainy with roasted malt. Sticky, sightly sourish. Sessionable, round and smooth, not too deep with hints of roasted coffee and dry burned malt.

Imperial milk stout from a brewery in Harlingen, thanks Craftmember! Membranously lacing, pale greyish beige, dense and moussy head, black robe with hazy burgundy-brown edges. Aroma of fresh black coffee, butterscotch, bayleaf, toasted walnuts, light beef stock cube somewhere, dry hay, bitter chocolate bars, dried tea leaves, wet toast, cloves, liquorice, nutmeg, leather. Sweetish onset, some dried fig, nutty from the start with a sourish undertone of dried blackcurrant, softish carbo, thick and oily, full body without being very creamy (admittedly I was expecting a bit more creaminess due to the added lactose). Nuttiness goes on through the middle phase, pleasantly bittersweet with the bittering, black toast-like aspect more prominent towards the finish, where pleasant spicy and hoppy bitter notes appear alongside a warming, whisky-like but nowhere astringent alcohol effect. I don't quite get the "milk" part in this imperial milk stout, but other than that, this is a very decent, albeit somewhat 'generic' strong stout.
