18 months before expiration. Initially sour on the nose, but not in the taste. It’s super funky and dank. Maybe just a touch muddled. Online beerwulf

Draught No head, reddish cola-coloured beer. Sourish, bit smokey and peat-y aroma, dark caramel. Despite the Bretts, still some De Koninck aromas, if with a light smokey touch, very mild acidity, inoffensive. Some liquorice. Quite oily-slick, not very alcoholic impression, even 7+% seems strong. Goody goody wild beer. Might benefit a lot from a bit more punch.

Draught Very dense, thick, ultra-fine yellow head leaving textbook lace over foxy amber-red beer. De Koninck yeast announcing itself from the first whiff, arriving in double force, with caramel, bitter fruit and alcohol coming along. Bittery & boozy. Aroma of strawberry, depending on the DK yeast. Bitter almonds, caramel in the finish. Very viscous, slick, almost chewy, alcoholwarming. Pretty unusual. As this recipe has seen a lot of names and places (Arcen, Interpol,...), De Koninck has definitely put his mark on this version.

330ml bottle and my first Belgian Ale. Pours slightly cloudy copper in colour with a small white head with lots of retention and lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, grass, caramel and yeast. Taste is caramel malts, grain, a slight dark fruit note. Carbonation starts moderately high before easing but is a little off-puting. Body is light to medium and there is a mild bitterness in the finish. Interesting beer which I quite enjoyed without being wowed. I get the impression this is a lighter entry level beer to the style and in that sense it works.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Had a few times especially as I had not realised it had been rebadged back in the day. Bottle and also tap at Lowlander.

#MJ500 #200: 0.33 l bottle from 'drankgigant.de', best before December 2020. Clear, deep amber wirh a medium large, foamy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly yeasty-spicy and a little fruity aroma of caramel, clove, some raisins and a touch of toasted nuts. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite yeasty-spicy and a little fruity taste of caramel, clove, toasted nuts and some raisins, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant beer, quite aromatic but didn't expect it to be so yeast-forward.
