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.

330 ml. bottle shared @ RBBSG17. Hazy milky yeast, white head. Nose is rather dull yeast, soap, white bread. Taste is dull yeast, grainy, soap, sugar, body is likewise. Nothing wrong with this beer but it is bland & with definitely nowhere near enough hop to for a session IPA.

J’apprécie toujours ces Imperial Stouts, dans la simplicité mas dans l’efficacité d’arômes intenses bien amenés et enlevés. Ici donc café et chocolat dominent sur une amertume élancée conférant une tonalité fruitée. Les arômes sont pleins et intense avec une excellente corpulence. L’alcool, de son côté (10,5 % Abv), tient excellemment bien son rôle, soutenant parfaitement la structure. Petit bémol me concernant le sucre que je trouve légèrement trop dosé. En verre, nous avons un noir total, parée de très fines bulles et surmonté d’une mousse crémeuse beige d’un centimètre d’épaisseur. Très belle prestation. Le nez est intense, et nous amène sur un trio qui guidera l’ensemble de la dégustation : chocolat, café et une belle amertume légèrement fruitée. L’attaque reprend cette base. L’amertume est sur une belle intensité accompagnée d’un café sur les devants. La seconde bouche voit le chocolat gagner en puissance avec de notes fruitées un peu plus poussées (prunes, cassis notamment). L’arrière bouche laisse quant à lui s’exprimer l’alcool avec le café et l’amertume, tranchante. Les arômes remplissent alors le palais de fort belle manière. La suite voit alors l’amertume monter en puissance vers un final élancé et d’une bonne longueur sur des arômes de café expresso de toute beauté. Préaris aurait bonne idée d’intégrer cette Marius dans sa gamme permanente.

26/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle from Gollem (Antwerpen) @ RBBSG17 - BB: 27/IV/18 (2017-1319) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!

Rather cloudy orange to beige beer, big aery irregular off-white head, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots of grains, malty, very German impression, slightly fruit, some citrus. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: bit malty, grains, some citrus, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: bit fruity, yeast, bit sweet, malty, banana peel. Sessionable, but lacking ipa-character.

Sampled @ RBBSG 2017. Hazy light orange color, average sized white head. Weak aroma. Taste malts, slightly bitter, but again quite weak flavored. I don’t really feel like thinking about this beer. Some hops, some hop bitter. Meh. I don’t like it.

375 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate head of big tannish bubbles. Aromas of dry chocolate, heavily roasted malts and port barrels. Flavors are very much like the Marius, with roasted malts, licorice and cherries, but the the barrel enhances the cherries and fruit, and adds a long complex port/sherry/fruity finish. Excellent subtle barreling
