Description
For years we brewed beers in our basement when we read an article in October 2010 about the Brouwland beer competition.We decided to risk our chances and sent our version of a Trappist beer, a dark beer, full malt, of 10%.In March 2011 we were informed that we were selected for the final. Beginning in April 2011 was ultimately the final.The seven finalist beers were tasted by beer connoisseurs, Zythologists Rijckers Anne and Yannick De Cocteau and some Belgian brew masters like Paul Arnott (Dubuisson), and Jean-Marie De Rock (Orval). The first beers were tasted and judged one for one, much was noted. Mutually there was not much talk together ,until they started our beer (the final seven beers were tasted in order of alcohol). All jurors began to talk to each other and two of them even gave us a thumbs up. Then, we knew it was good. After fifteen minutes of deliberations they announced the winner … Vliegend Paard Brouwers from Oedelem with their Préaris Quadrupel.

375ml bottle @ the 11th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, Feb 15, courtesy of myself. Big bourbon aroma, lusciously sweet vanilla bourbon-infused quad. Kinda wish I’d selfishly kept this all to myself. Ah well.

Cheers Mike for sharing this. 375cl bottle: BBD 26 Nov 16. Bottle number 00447 split between five of us on 17 Feb 2015 in Shrewsbury. Brown pour with an off-white topping, slight haze to the last drop out the bottle (my sample). Nose of maltiness and vanilla with some woody hints behind a yeasty undertone. The taste a little sour with all the aromas showing up again in the flavours. Decent and different. Good body depth, with traces of the bourbon oozing through the finish.

Bottle at Craig’s house. Appearance - close to opaque black with a thin fawn head. Nose - compost bin and sweet wood. Taste - vanilla and burnt wood, veggie note. Palate - medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a long tangy texture. Overall - it improved but wouldn’t go back.
