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.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus and MrHangover. Opaque murky red-brownish color, medium sized tan head that leaves fair lacing. Aroma is malts, heavy peat, fingerpaint, band-aid, iodine. Taste malts, again heavy peat, iodine, lightly fingerpaint, moderately bitter. Medium to full body, suitable carbonation. Nice beer for sure, but you gotta like the peat whiskey.

Bottle @ home. Clear piss colored yellow appearance, average sized white head. Aroma is wheat, pretty sweet and strongly herbal, coriander and something else, perhaps "gagel" or something. Taste wheat, again strongly herbs or spices like coriander and maybe "gagel" and / or cinnamon. Not what I like to taste in a Belgian Witbier at all. Average body and carbonation. No, don’t like this at all.

In Leuven at the ZBF. I have tested the coffee infusion version. Very nice experiment and no other notes spotted unfortunately besides of coffee. I have had the regular version last year and it was really nice, unable to comment now. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Thanks. Sampled draft @ ZBF 2014. Milky hazy citrus appearance with a very creamy white head. Smell is bright citrus hops mixed with coriander, touch soap, interesting mix. Taste is lots of coriander with a touch milky citrus hop, sweet apple, lively, citrus peel. Creamy mouthfeel. I am not the biggest fan of the style but this is an interesting and successful combo. Drinks nicely, nicely done.
