Hazy wheaty-gold; very slim white head. Grainy, malty nose, some shrubbery or greenwood. Some liqueurish notes, rather than candy sugar. Flavours of chaff, old grain, much more liqueurish - the alcohol shows, on top of the typical (raw) grain character. If I had to classify this, I would think of European Strong lager, or malt liquor with all the bad associations going with this - despite the topfermenting. Medium bodied, alcohol thins it. Way too unrefined. If tripel was intended, it’s failed.

Pale, slightly hazy yellow with orange-green shine; very slim head, reduced in seconds to film. Terrible nose of Belgian "pickles" (=lots of vegetable things in a sauce, involving a lot of vinegar or stomach acid, and a sickly unripe mango colour). Fruity too, but VERY unripe fruit. Sour, diacetyl, acetic acid. On the verge of undrinkable. Infected as the plague. Medium bodied, acid burn, (stomach burn guaranteed). Boelens ought to be ashamed of themselves. This is not acceptable - and I tried 2 bottles, both undrinkable

Bottled Cloudy ruby colour. Sweetish, fruity and aromatic. Soft and medium bodied with aospy hop character. Another interesting beer from Boelens!

Bottled. Dark nut brown, hazy. Almond aroma. Sweet and soft, somewhat orangey. Fairly malty with some caramel. Warming, yet not alcoholic. Pleasant and flavourful. A good one.

Reddish chestnut beer, reasonably clear but full of yeast spots that seem to be fixed in suspension; white head with reddish shine. End of bottle is very nearly solid yeast. It has some bready smell German style, but even a lot more dark brown candi sugar; sweet and alcoholic. Very sweet taste, gradually fading as if mildered by a bitterness that just doesn’t come out. Bread and walnut notes - like walnutbread, but much more sweet. In the end I get somehow raspberry extract. Very full bodied MF, slick, viscous even. Aftertaste is nutt again. No genuine German Doppelbock is just THAT sweet. But I agree, it comes close. Rid of this raspberry syrup flavour, and they’re there.

Hazy dark amber color. An Ale with a yeasty aroma, and the flavor is a bit vegetables and apples. Simple.

Explosive bottle; cloudy amber color. Nice malty and fruity aroma, but the age has worn out too much the malt, and the mouthfeel is thin; still can perceive the good hopping. Promising…

(draught) Dark-hazy chestnut; creamy and dense head, going down very lacey. Definitely hoppy nose, and some dark malts backing. Taste is much sweeter, full of the dark and chocolate malts. Touch of hops and tobacco in the palate, slightly more bitter. Alcohol is hidden, but for some brandy-aroma like hints, no burn. In fact a bit empty. OK beer. Doesn't stand out, but no complaints. re-rate 13/08/04 Bottle probably a bit aged (BBd not indicated). Much more vinous and rich chocolate nose. Maturing has given this beer a much better balance, (except for the yeast deposit). Great result - beer would end at 3.6 / 5 certainly (8/10 for taste, 15/20 overall, but 3/5 for appearance).

An unclear brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of corriander and malt. The flavor is sweet corriander with notes of peaches and it has a very bitter end. A somewhat weird beer.

With honey
Dark amber color; magnificent giant, thick head. Malt and spices aroma; lightly fruity (yellow berries). Good malty body; caramel; a delicate touch of roasted malt, dry, reminding a Scottish Ale; candi sugar; final with some nuts. Thanks Jacob (Lövenlund) for this bottle.
