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. Clear very pale yellow color, full sized fizzy white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell and taste sweetness, a slight note of something that reminds me of apples. Very fizzy carbonation, average body at best. Meh.

Bottle @ benzai. Clear pale golden colour with a small white head. Fizzy stuff. Smells sweet, fruity, hint of bubblegum, malts. Tastes malts, slightly fruity, some iron. Way, way, way too fizzy. Like a proper bruistablet. Thin body. Failed experiment.

Bottle @ home shared with Joes. Dark brown color, medium sized beige head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma and flavor are malts, liquorice, chocolate, sweetish, a bit dusty, something artificial though as well. Decent body and carbonation. Quite ok.

33cl bottle (7.5% ABV); BB Feb 2020. Poured into a Gordon thistle shaped glass at home on 9th Nov 2018. Deep, dark ruby/brown body, lightly tanned blanket of foam for a head. Malty brew with a chocolate front to the aroma and taste (well it is called a Chocolate Porter). Thought the body a little thin and depth of flavour poor; really wanted to enjoy this as I had been saving it for a while; disappointed. Lacked oomph and richness.

9/XI/18 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent), shared @ home, BB: VI/2020 - (2018-1652)
Slightly cloudy blond to light orange beer, very big aery crackling head, although the top part disintegrates, the head keeps growing by streams of bubbles forming a new layer from the bottom. Aroma: lots of sweet malts and sweet wort, some banana, grains. MF: very lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty fruity start surprisingly, some citrus notes, sweet malts, soft bitterness, some banana, yeast. Aftertaste: pretty sweet, pears, some banana, malty, grains, too sweet.

Bottle @ home. Clear dark orange color, average to medium sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, smoke and lightly sweet. Not much more to it imo but it doesn't need much more. Very well balanced imo. I'm enjoying this one. Nice!
