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.

4/II/18 - 33cl bottle @ post-Brugs Bierfestival train ride to Ghent - BB: 20/IX/18 (2018-148) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the last beers of the festival!
Clear orange beer, big creamy beige head, very stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, sweet, caramel, some candy smell. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sourish, some lemon juice, bitter grapefruit peel, very bitter. Aftertaste: citrus, bit sourish, grassy touch, bitter, resinous finish. Not as good as I would've hoped for.

Bodney Towers bottle share. Thanks to Leighton. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Thin dark malts, good dark chocolate. Mild spice. Trace of vanilla. Light dry spicy finish. Decent without ever being in danger of being anything special
