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.

donker en ondoorzichtig bruin met tevens bruine kraag. aroma komt mij erg beperkt binnen, kan zelfs vrij weinig tonen herkennen.... zal wel aan mij liggen... smaken zijn enorm granig zelfs naar het metalige aan toe, alcohol, redelijk kruidig, nootmuskaat, cognac, hout, matig zoet, redelijk bitter, sterk, matig donker fruit, pruim, scherp en lang bitter, ver... ja verbrande amandelen, droog, iets van wijn (’t zal de cognac vast wezen), lichte body, glad en dun, kruidige afdronk...... maar helaas het viel mij zo enorm tegen .... en was gewoonweg niet weg van de smaak dat ik de rest heb weggegooid..... ’t zal wel heiligschennis wezen onder de liefhebbers... maar ja dat interesseert mij niets ;) --- Beer merged from original tick of Préaris Grand Cru 2012 BA Cognac (Rémy Martin) on 15 May 2018 at 21:34 - Score: 6

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Sandaker. Pours slightly hazy golden with a lasting white head. Surprisingly yeasty aroma with some fruity notes. The smell reminds me of the white "wine" I made with powder and yeast a long time ago. Not much flavours to speak of except some fruits and its still quite yeasty. Opens up a little bit after a while and gets drinkable enough, but it still reminds me of home made "wine". Medium sweet with some slightly sour notes and fairly light bitterness. Strange, and probably not a beer I would buy again.
