Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with light coffee notes is pleasant. Taste is a mix of caramelized malt with some residual candi sugar notes with some light floral coffee notes. Body is a bit light for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting mix with more drinkability then I was expecting.

Bottle thnx to Andy ! Story has it the beer wasn’t being sold day 2 of Zythos, since Andy wasn’t satisfied with how it came out to be. I am a fan of quality control and honesty in brewers, and thus I want to salute him for doing so. The fact he gave us a bottle - if what I heard is true, that is- must mean it’s a pure act of goodness. he’ll know we’ll rate a beer of him he isn’t completely happy with, yet still gives us the chance of trying it. Thnx for that, Andy ! Anyone reading should also bare in mind that - if all of the above is true - this score will be lower than what the beer should get, in ideal circumstances. Bottle. pours hazy, yeasty blonde. OK white head fades rather fast. Smell is rather weak, mild fruity aspect. Taste is decently bitter. Fruityness is very mild. Very malty though. I love this malt VS hazyhop creamyness VS decent bitterness. I can agree a beer with this name should be more fruiy, but I don’t mind drinkin this at all. decent mf, higher side of carbo. Not bad at all, yet perhaps a bit too subtile and hops, and a bit too overwhelming in yeast. IF this is a ’lesser batch’ it only proves how good the better batches will be.

F: thin, off-white, not long lasting. C: dark, opaque. A: dark roasted malt, liquorish, dark cherries, woody, vanilla. T: malty, liquorish, coffee, milk chocolate, dark fruits, full body, low carbonation, good, enjoyed, thanks to tderoeck and kraddel for sharing beers today! Sampled from tap @ ZBF 2017 Leuven.

330ml bottle (5.5%) @ 2be / beerwall, Bruges, consumed on the outside terrace on a nice late afternoon. Pours deep, lightly hazy brown, pale tan head. Sweet cocoa in the aroma, lightly earthy. Taste is more chocolate, lactose, earthy malts, fairly light bodied but just right for an afternoon beer. Good stuff.
