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 from Hopduvel. Dark brown, beige foam. Very well balanced beer. Aroma of roasted malts and dark fruit. Hints of caramel. Light roasted coffee bitter finish. Unfortunatly the aftertaste fades away quickly.

Sampled draft @ Brugs Bier Festival 2014. Dark brown with a mocha head. Nose is sweet mocha, ice coffee, those coffee drinks you can buy at the supermarket, ground coffee beans with some bitterness from that. Taste is huge very bitter upfront because of all the coffee beans, huge coffee with all the same stuff as I wrote down for the smell, mocha, caramel, going towards sweetness in the back, touch caramel. Thick bodied. This is Iced Coffee made with beer basically, I don’t like regular coffee but like most people not into coffee, I do like Iced Coffee, this was great. ///////////////// 375 ml. bottle @ home. Procured from their stand @ Brugs Bier Festival 2014. A touch less in your face coffee but not as much as I expected honestly compared to the Randal version at their stand. Still lots of coffee beans & ice coffee feel to it. Great.

Draught . Actually served Randalized but with coffeebeans instead of hop Very thick, creamy, cream-coloured head with lacerings over dark brown beer. Coffee and hops. And coffee. Some chocolate and coffee... and... This is indeed dry coffee, like something left in a cup, and just saved from rincing. Medium bodied, finish is light. Is this still beer? I’m sorry, not for me. I utterly dislike coffee, and this isn’t even good coffee...

Flaska från beergium. Mörkt gyllengul, disig, högt vitt skum. Inte någon stiltypisk saison. Fruktig doft och smak med citrus, äpplen och aprikoser, frisk, krämig munkänsla, rejäl citrusbeska och fin citruseftersmak. Visst känner man att det här är ett belgiskt öl men inte i traditionell mening. Bra balans, fina rena smaker. Riktigt gott.
