Draught Very stable, fine & dense, off-white head over utterly cloudy ochre beer with a mossy sheen. Citrus, ureum, oranges, felt, but also artichoke. Gives a very dry impression. Dry indeed, with resins, putty, orangepeel, musk, lightly roasted grains, dark grains. Resins last long into the aftertaste. Good carbonation, at least medium bodied, very hopoily. Light alcoholwarmth. Good dry IPA, but it lacks a bit fruitiness, certainly in the nose.

Smell-weak caramel, malt, faint Belgian tones. Foam- thin, malt, caramel. Head is medium-sized, and weak brown in color. Appearance - generic black bottle cap, simple nice dog label. Clear-ish dark red mahogany in color. From - pint Taste - caramel, malt, weak Belgian tones, a bit powdery in the aftertaste. Not the best Belgian.

Smell-medium strong, malt, faint caramel, smoke, faint Belgian tones. Foam- thin, malt, caramel, sweetness, sugar. The head is quite large, medium dark brown in color. Appearance- generic black bottle cap, simple label. Vewry dark brown, basically black in color. From- pint Taste - sweet, malt, alcohol, sweetness, sugar, Belgian tones, booze. A boozy sweet stout with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Light copper colour with big fluffy head. Loads of grapefruit citrus pithy elements. Juicy and bitter.

Eher trockener, moderat hopfiger Antrunk. Milde Süße, Karamellmalz, das Hopfenaroma wird stärker. Mittellanger Abgang. 9/10/10/11/9/10

33cl bottle. A clear amber beer with a beige head. Aroma of reddish malt, resinous hops, some pine. Taste of resins, pine, red malt, caramel. Moderate bitterness.

Hopoogst 2022 Amber-copperish colour, veiled, under a small, slightly cream-coloured head. Caramel, cassonade sugar, bit insectoid-leafy aroma. Sweet-ish, undergrowth, green leaves, earthy instead of insectoid. Quite slick, hopoil-intoned, good carbonation. Seems well attenuated. I think the hops demand this to be drunk REALLY fresh - sample was well inside the BBd. Txs to Fred!

As Dubbel Frambozen & bosbessen Good cream-coloured head over red-shot opaque brown beer. Fruity, chocolate, dry wood, cardboard, and lots of dark malts. Fruitiness is present in the nose, if demure. Chocolate with a slight, short acidity, that turns to berries - raspberry in particular - retronasal. Bit sweet, the fruitflavour even enhancing this. Good carbonation, bit slick, medium bodied, with a medium length aftertaste. I think it might benefit from a more generous fruitgift, as well as some more acidity, maybe enhanced by the carbonation. It's still very much tasting Dobbelman. Txs to Frédéric! Was: 6.5/4/7/3.5/13

as Rood Weiler 75cl Huge cream-pink head, irregular, over deep dark brown beer. Wood, plywood and leaves. Raspberry, blueberry, blackberry. Dry-light bitterish, but mainly sweet-malty, almost as milk chocolate with raspberry ganache. Well bodied, very slick to viscous, good carbonation. Bettered version of the berried dubbel sampled earlier. Whereas that lacked a bit of fruit, this time we agreed that what was missing was lactic acid - making it a fruit Oud Bruin with way more complexity.

Towering, thick-set, just off-white head, fed by very liverly carbonated, fully hazy golden beer, leaving textbook lace. Quite spicy nose - we get coriander, though not in the ingredients' list, and quite some at that. Fake citrus. Bitterish to bitter, faintly metallic and spicy - which, again, seems coriander; citrus. Quite slick, very carbonated, light body. Sorry guys, this is a bit too cliché, the hops are too crude, and either can't compete, or otherwise contribute to the coriander imprint. Txs to Fred!

33cl bottle. A clear dark golden beer with a big off-white head. Aroma of oranges, mild grapefruit, juicy hops. Taste of oranges, juicy hops, grapefruits, moderate bitterness. Good!
