Bottle from Stacks.
A: clear dark golden, stable, foamy, off-white head.
A: overripe plum & apricot, old bread, clove, vague plastic.
T: sweetish ripe apple & plum, bitter herbs, yeast, clove-like phenols.

'Stereotripical' as I like to call it, and not even technically flawless.

Very good, dense & fine, just off-white head over veiled copper-orange beer. Pale, but also mainly coloured malts, more than faint notes of greenery, herbs, and a metallic whiff. Again quite a bit metallic, and very toasted flavour. bit of human sweat and again greenery, (caramelized) vegetables. High attenuation seems to indicate candi sugar. Bit peppery, very light sourish hint. Gristslick; well-carbonated, spritzy; light to medium body. Again a remake of a legendary beer of old, this time the beer from Beirens in Wommelgem. I like it, even if we'll never know if it's truly its reflection. Thanks to Stef!
