Clear deep amber beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Nice mellow bourbon oak nose. Palate is airy and light, mild fine carbonation. Taste follows the nose and adds mild malt cream and a whisper of dried fruits. Little spice before an airy finish. Woody bitter linger. Comes together well.

Smooth malts, mild caramel - toffee. Thin malt cream. Soft fruity bourbon. Trace of wood. Smooth finish. Light and tasty.

Bouteille 375ml # 701 de Geers, BB 26/11/2016. Cuivrée, col léger blanc cassé. Arôme offre de belles notes de bourbon avec un rétro boisé sur qcq effluves vanillées. Malts caramel et grillé. Palais offre de suite ce côté réchauffant des 10% avec pas mal de belles notes venant du Bourbon. Pointe vanille, boisé chêne américain. Malt caramel et grillé sur un petit côté café. Amertume houblonnée arrive en retrait apportant un côté noble légèrement citronné. Ce dernier est bien en balance avec le Bourbon. Reste correcte sans vraiment apporter du nouveau au système de bière en barrique.

#bfgm14, Deze week de release van het bier, De brouwer wist te vertellen dat het gebaseerd was op tarwemout, havervlokken, met koriander en sinaasappelschil en daarnaast een voor Belgie uitzonderlijke hopsoort namelijk de Belma. Hier had ik nog weinig ervaring mee dus was wel benieuwd, Schonk als typische Belgische Witbiertje, licht gelig met schuimige witte kraag. aroma was redelijk kruidig, sinaasappel en koriander zijn iig goed te herkennen, maar die hoparoma kwam mij ook wel bekend voor, het lijkt volgens mij erg sterk op het kruid ’Gagel’. Dit kwam overigens ook redelijk sterk in de smaak terug, verder matig zoet, zwak bitter, iets zepigs qua mondgevoel. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pr??aris Belma on 18 May 2018 at 14:49 - Score: 6

Flaska från Beergium. En söt kropp som får mig att tänka DIPA med karamell, smörkakor och knäck, men också fruktig humle, persika, aprikos, röd grape, blodapelsin och en betydligt torrare avslutning med medelstor beska och gräsiga och örtiga eftersmaker. Ingen belgisk jäst och inte heller särskilt typisk för De Proef. En lite annorlunda IPA som först kändes väl söt med fruktigheten i kombination med den torra avslutningen funkar bra. Bra balans, rena smaker och riktigt god.

Bottle at the March 2014 De Molen monthly tasting. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thick white head, some broken lace and a few bubbles. The aroma is yeast, light peach. The flavour is medium bitter light sour with a crisp refreshing yeast light fruit hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. An interesting beer. Nice enough to taste, but i’m note sure i’d buy it again. It doesn’t have much beer magnetism for me.

750 ml bottle into chalice, bottled on 10/9/2013. Pours moderately hazy deep ruby brown color with a 1 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big cherry, orange peel, raisin, plum, pear, apple, red grape, caramel, brown sugar, toast, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and fruity/earthy yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big orange peel, raisin, plum, pear, apple, cherry, red grape, caramel, brown sugar, toast, brown bread, clove, pepper, light chocolate, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Moderate earthy spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of orange peel, raisin, plum, pear, apple, cherry, red grape, caramel, brown sugar, toast, brown bread, clove, pepper, light chocolate, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and fairly slick mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible quadrupel! All around awesome complexity and balance of fruity/spicy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bouteille 37.5cl procurée à BAB ’14. BB 23/01/2016. Brune foncée, col épais blanc cassé. Arôme est malté assez faiblard laissant des traces de malts pâle, cara et crystal accompagné par des effluves de café et de grillé qui pour moi ne contribuent pas vraiment à donner une certaine complexité à l’arôme. En rétro-nasal, je note des pointes de citronné venant des houblons. Possible présence de fruité noir. Palais est malté caramel avec ici un café un peu trop présent. Le caramel donne au plais ce profil doux rappelant ce caramel allemand un peu surfait. Le café est également sur une teneur ajouté voire infusé et non sur ce côté de grains de café. On a dès lors cette impression que on a ajouter du café déjà préparer à la bière. Je note en retrait un fruité noir de date et prune qui rappellent bien l’inspiration quad de la bière. L’amertume des houblons reste en retrait et contribue à offrir une alternance avec le caractère malté de la bière. Au final, cette bière est correcte mais je ne suis pas certain que l’idée d’infusion de café y soit adaptée.
