7/II/17 - 33cl bottle from the brewer @ home - BB: n/a (2017-9)

Cloudy beige beer, big solid creamy white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet malts, ripe banana, sugary, marzipan, almonds, some band-aid. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: very sweet, caramel malts, some banana, soft bitterness, sweet. Aftertaste: banana, marzipan, some citrus, grassy touch, lots of caramel malts, more ripe banana.

330 ml. bottle split with kraddel @ train post-Bruges Beer Festival 2017. BBF 05.01.2018. Looks nice dark red pink raspberry, vaguely pink head. Nose is sadly heavily metallic, low sugar, raspberry feels sugary & fake. Body ruins all taste, extremely over-carbonated. Taste is stale yeast upfront, metallic, artificial bitter, fruit is barely there, washing powder, whatever raspberry is there feels fake. Bit of a waste of fruit really. Sorry, I wanted to like but this is a miss & I don’t see many beer geeks liking, maybe the more casual beer drinker can appreciate this, fruit doesn’t feel real, carbonation makes it feel empty, it is metallic. Not sure what this was meant to be, real fruit sweet beer?

5/II/17 - 33cl bottle from Brugs Beertje café, split amongst three @ train station Brugge, post-Brugs Bierfestival - BB: 24/XI/17 (2017-157) Thanks to 77ships, kraddel for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy orange beer, big creamy yellowish to off-white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, some caramel, almonds, bit fruity, some raspberry jam, caramel, yeasty, some banana. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, grains, pretty bitter, hoppy, bit sourish, sugary. Aftertaste: some alcohol, malty, caramel, grains, almonds, pretty bitter finish.

New addition to Andy Dewilde’s Préaris range, at BBF. Thick and very creamy, dense, pale yellowish beige head, dark bronze colour with warm burgundy hue, hazy. Aroma of caramel sauce, honey, raisins, candied fig, white port, orange peel, white rum, marmelade, white pepper, wet leather. Sweet onset of dried banana and fig, slight sourish redcurrant-like accent and even a very light beefy umami touch, medium carbo, full and smooth, ’fluffy’ mouthfeel though perhaps a tad less vinous than one would expect from the style, thick toffeeish malt sweetness with a soft, subtle toasted accent, lingering candied banana and honey sweetness but balanced in the end by a dash of spicy hops and warming, brandy-like but non-astringent alcohol. English style barleywine indeed but still with certain Belgian (quad-like) traits, which however do not disturb me here; perhaps a little bit overcarbonated, but otherwise a delicious beer, technically in perfect condition, rich and warming. Recommended, hopefully this will soon be a part of the more widely available Préaris range.
