Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een donkerbruin tot zwart bier met weinig schuim. Het heeft een moutige gebrande geur. De smaak is wat zurig en rokerig.

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Hazy black, thinning, frothy, tan head. Aroma of toast, pine, orange peel, walnut, black olive, dried tea leaves, pink grapefruit peel. Taste is light malty sweet, fondant & toast, quickly overthrown by a medium hoppy bitterness with orange peel & pink grapefruit, all the while subtly nutty, undertone of black tea & sourish brambleberry. Dryish, piney hoppy finish, more toast, walnut & grapefruit peel. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Decent enough, not very intense.

28/IV/19 - sample @ Zythos Bierfestival 2019 (Leuven), BB: n/a - (2019-618) Thanks to nathanvc, 77ships & Anke for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, caramel, grains, wort, cow fodder. Doesn't smell very black… MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus notes, pretty bitter, dry, bit malty, grains, grassy. Aftertaste: more bitterness, malts, grains, some citrus, dry, bit roasted, not sure what beer style they're trying to pursue here..

Huge thanks to JefVerstraete for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark golden, small head. Fresh fruity aroma. Starts dry-malty, more and more hoppy-bitter. Light fruity with notes of lemon, some grapefruit, still fine bitter notes. Finish well balanced, dominated by dry-hoppy notes. Nice!

Bottle. '2018 limited edition' release #01, batch #01, bottle #106. 75cl, 8.1% according to the label. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head, a lot of fizzy carbonation. Aroma: Malt, yeast, lightly sour. Taste: Combination of moderate to medium sweet and light tart notes. Malty. Fruity notes of stone fruit, apples, peach. Sweetish notes of sugar, honey, Some light yeasty and subtle Brett notes. Barrel comes in towards the end, slightly vinuous and wood. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. Nice variation on traditional Belgian Blond, although it takes some time and patience to fully enjoy the complexity of this beer.

Bottle. Batch 01 bottle 1-647, 2018 limited edition. Color: Almost black, very thin beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, Cognac. Taste: Roasted malt, pretty strong Cognac, boozy, medium sweetish. Notes of sweetish dark fruit, oak. Umami. Light hints of apple and coffee. Some bitterness and a bit spicy mouthfeel at prety boozy finish. Medium to above medium body, just below average carbonation. Overall quite nice but I've a feeling that something is missing. Maybe it's because of the relatively thin body for this kind of beer. I like the tekst on the label that says Ever tried, ever failed, no matter. Try again, fail again, fail better. I hope this brewery will try again, because this beer has more potential.

Weer laphraoig, gelukkig beheerst. Wat zoetigheid brengt het enigszins in balans. Totaal geen koolzuur. Ok, maar niet best
