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.

10 April 2022. At 14de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!

Presumably the 2015 version again. Impressions of dried orange peel, candied plum, raisin, fig, triple sec, vanilla. Taste has sweet raisin, fig & plum; caramelly malt base supporting herbal & bittersweet orange peel notes. Herbal hoppy finish, woody, dried fruits, warming triple sec alcohol. Medium to full body, oily-syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Enjoyable still so no need to alter the score.

Original rating: 8/4/8/4/16=4.0. 4 February 2018. At 11de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!

Hazy brown with a frothy, beige head. Aroma of green apple, pear, orange liqueur, malt, sugar and vanilla. Tastes medium fruity sweet and light to medium hoppy/woody bitter; woody, nice, alcoholic finish. Full body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Strong, but never exaggerated. Good stuff.
