Gekocht in de Delhaize van Dendermonde op 19-03-2018. En thuis geproefd op 27-05-2018. Wild Jo blond heeft een blond kleurtje en is helder van uitzicht, het schuim wordt gevormd in een normale hoeveelheid, is wit en vormt een gelijkmatige laag op het bier. Het blijft ook op een normale wijze aan de glaswand kleven. Veel pareling te zien van belletjes met een gemiddelde grootte. Na een tijdje is het schuim ingezakt tot een gelijkmatige laag van minder dan 1 mm dikte. Wat het eerste opvalt in het aroma is wat zwaveligheid, geen verrassing wegens de gebruikte Brettanomyces gist. Ook een klein zuurtje is erbij. De smaak is zoetig en licht zurig, nu ook wat hopbitterheid en fruitigheid met appel en pompelmoes. In de mond geeft Wild Jo blond een medium body met een bitterdroogje en een dun-bloemige textuur. Toch wat prikkelend, het is een gebalanceerd en harmonieus biertje. In de nasmaak die wat uitvloeit kom je nog wat hopbitter tegen tesamen met wat pompelmoes, een zeer lichte pepertoets, een licht zuurtje en een droogje dat lang maar niet te sterk nazindert. Wild Jo blond is een leuk en fris te drinken biertje, een lekkere doordrinker. Foto's zijn te bewonderen op deze plaats: http://www.beersfrombelgium.eu/nl/showBeer.php?id=4260

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey, dark golden colour with average to huge, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather expressionless, somehow suppressed, fruity aroma, hints of rhubarb. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity, hints of rhubarb, strawberry; lively carbonation. Very refreshing, quite simple and monotonous. Not wild, least of all funky, just effervescent.

29 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Thanks to the assistants at the stand for the sample!
Cloudy black with a lasting, small, foamy, beige head. Intense aroma of ripe apple, tequila, sharp calvados or bourbon, candied dark fruits, roasted malt, caramel. It tastes medium malty & chocolatey sweet and light to medium fruity sour, slightly toasty & nutty in the back. Bit woody & roasted in the peppery hop finish, but dominated by sharpish bourbon/tequila alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Okay so far, needs some refinement and less sharp alcohol.

Thank you for sharing RB People! Sampled draft @ ZBF 2018. Black, tanned head. Nose is harsh liquorice molasses, boozy, too varnish harsh alcoholic & burned bread malts. Taste is too harsh plastic, cured all raw booze, plastic, burned malt, burned bread, roast. Too much & way too much harsh alcohol, Duvel seems to have a weird idea of what makes BA beers appealing.

Tequila barrel aged beer - I'm guessing the very first one in Belgium - tasted at Zythos Bierfestival. Loose, quickly opening, tan head, black robe with hazy mahogany brown edges. Aroma breathes a lot of pure tequila, spicy and very boozy with a raw green agave juice-like effect, brutally overpowering softer notes of chocolate sauce, butterscotch, toffee, chicory, raisins, candied figs; very prominent solventy effects as well (fresh paint, wood glue). Sweet onset, candied dates, soft carb, full oily mouthfeel but still somehow lacking a bit in body, especially against the huge amount of agressive booze which quickly shows up and heat the rest of the palate; tequila flavour is way too harsh here and so are the glueish solvents, overwhelming the gentle, toffeeish and nutty malt quality. Not much roasted bitterness either so the basic beer - see its own entry here - is already a bit thin and simple for an imperial stout; here it is drowned in way too much booze. Needs a lot more refinement, though I can somehow appreciate the fact that a traditional family brewery like Moortgat has the guts to do something like this.
