Description
Waterloo Beer is brewed with care in the Mont-Saint-Jean farm, the famous 'English Hospital' of the Battle of Waterloo. More than ever, this high-quality beer is a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship and courage. In 1815, during the famous conflict, the troops were supplied with high-fermented beer that gave them strength and courage to face each other. Two centuries later, Anthony Martin is proud to revisit this moment in history by reviving the local beer quality, prepared strictly according to the original recipe: Waterloo – beer of bravery!

23/06/2016 - 33cl bottle @ Cameleon, Brussels. No idea of the colour because it was served in the Waterloo stone cup, massive head however. Nose and taste is spices, especially pepper, malts, a bit hay. Taste is a bit thin pepper again, hay and a bit sweetness.

OK, this is a weird deScription. The perfect blend between a cherry lambic, and a high fermentation beer ..... OK, what’s up with that? pretty sure this is not a blend with lambic in it, but I guess they want part of the hype train... Anyway, pours light red, clear, Small to OK white head. Smell is poepegattekes and very damn sweet as one would have expected... Taste is sharp, almost, ALMOST got a hint of something sour-like, but mainly, this is just a scaring amount of sugarry taste, and Sugar tends to give a certain dryness anyway. poepegattekes, syrupy,... yeah, I didn’t expect this to be good anyway;

Karmel, rodzynki, chleb, ciut ciemnych owocow, slad kawy. Lekkie. Wrecz za lekkie. Malo ciala. Sesyjne, zwlaszcza jak na styl. Niezbyt inten

Tap @ Delirium Café, Brussels as Waterloo Recolt Dark. Slightly unclear brownish amber with a nice, lacing tan head. Mild fruity aroma with toast, brown sugar and some banana. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, toast, brown sugar, ripe fruit, banana and chewing gum. Medium body and decent aftertaste. Quite sweet but still refreshing. Fair enough.

330 ml. bottle sampled @ home. Text on the back label actually says that this is a blend of a top fermented and a Kriek Lambic (sic) I kid you not, the ingredients contain an E-number. Sigh. Given the name & ABV, I figure that they are trying to get the people that are into the infamous Kasteel Rouge. The one big high ABV Kriek I can thick of on the market. Pours a ruby amber with a dirty off-pink / off-white head. Nose is super intense gelatin cherry candy, sweet to the max, faint metal, mainly just the extreme candy. Taste is this chemical cherry candy with big muted metallic, lightly mineral note, chemical, vague bitter plants, washing powder, paper finish. Cherry gelatin candy is too much muted by these things in the taste, getting too much washing powder, paper, plaster,… Body is dry mineral, plaster,… I would have minded this one too much if it was just massive gelatin cherry candy as the nose indicated. This is a beer clearly meant for one purpose to get drunk & its appeal is teens & people who do not like pale lager but looking to get plastered, women who oppose pale lager (rightfully so, they clearly have some pallet I think), you know the crowd I mean, those will be okay with this, this drinks easier than let us say vodka & soda, there is not much point discussing this beer given the market, slim picking in high ABV sweetened Kriek & I did not like Kasteel Rouge despite the high scores (relatively speaking).

Pours a coppery color, topped with a small white head. Aroma of dark fruits, slightly yeasty and bready. Quite biscuity as well with a hint of alcohol. Taste is strong and malty. A bit woody feel to it with some yeasty presence. Alcohol burn quite strong. SOme mild caramel. Not unpleasant, but a bit too strong for my liking.
