Not hoppy as advertised. Actually much better as a full bodied chewy bubblegum-like body. Very classical and not modernized. Het elfde gebod ams

It has been a long, dry summer with no deliveries from belgiuminabox. Until today. The first beer to be sampled is Boerken, an issue with the cap, it has to go first. My Straffe Hendrik tulip glass gets the duty today. I lift the lid and there is a fortunate release of pressure. A very pleasant scent of dates, brown sugar and dark bread fills the air. The pour is a murky, caramel brown liquid with a thin light tan skim that comes and goes. I take a drink, nothing extraordinary for a Belgian ale but pretty decent. Dark fruit, malt, yeast, something from the field, hay perhaps and biscuit. Only wish the taste could have kept up with the smell.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a murky caramel brown colour with hardly any head and lots of sediment in the glass. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and brown sugar. Taste is the same notes with a very slightly tart like finish. Thin bodied with a lively mouthfeel. Nothing special at all. Disappointing.

Bottle from beer supermarket in Belgium. Kept for a few years. Aroma of sweet apples and caramel. Murky gold colour. Standard triple taste. Boozy but quite smooth.

Blonde with a huge creamy head. Chunks of yeast. Creamy hoparoma. Full bodied and hoppy flavor with vanilla and pear. Hopbitter aftertaste with hints of metal. Fine beer with loads of hopbitterness. Alcohol present, but fairly well hidden.

Huge creamy head. Red brown color, chunks of yeast floating. Pear aroma with malt. Full bodied pear flavor. Malty and a bit yeasty. Just a hint of fruity sourness. A bit alcoholic.
