As Egidius Winter. Very dark brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of dark roasted malts giving plenty of bitterness. Has a floral peppery note too.

Bière 33 cl ramenée par mon père pour mon anniversaire. Blonde translucide avec pas mal de résidus. Nez plutôt sympa, fleuri, engageant, sucré, miel, pêche, très belge. Bouche douce mais avec un peu d'acidité, sur du fruit jaune. Mériterait un peu plus de carbonatation, mais elle est plutôt sympa.

At Wieze Bierfestival, 18 March 2018. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Hazy dark brown, almost black, with a frothy, quickly diminishing beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, candied banana, dark fruits, (light roasted) coffee, hint of bourbon. It tastes medium malty/chocolatey sweet with light fruity sour notes, then light to medium roasted bitter. Dry, bitter, bit hoppy finish and warming alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2017. Dark brown to black. Nose is bit empty dark fruit syrup, raisin, figs, alcoholic. Plastic liquorice oaky bitter roots, plants, syrup, raisin, fig,… Fairly okay & shockingly good for something brewed at Boelens.

@ Wieze Beerfestival 2017. Pours dark brown. Good white head. Smell is roasty, Taste is full, roasted grains, bit sweet. Complex, full. Very rich. bit complex undertone. Some mild plastic features (rather hidden) that really bring the beer down.

Sampled at Wieze 2017. The version I had was - to my knowledge - brewed at Boelens. Probably the same rating? Pours unclear blonde. Small white head. Smell is weak, bit sweet. Taste is rather full, malty, sweet, bit weak. OK. Surprisingly the beer it’s quality is alright, since Boelens has many problems, but the beer itself (recipe) is quite boring as well.

Tripel created in 2015 by a new beer company called Egidius Bieren, named after a late family member and elected as best hobby brew of Eastern Flanders two years ago; apparently hopped with Willamette. Medium thick, lacing, off-white, bubbly head, hazy peach blonde robe with somewhat greenish hue. Aroma of stewed pear, pineapple, coriander, rotting lemon, stale mandarin juice, piccalily, gin, white grape peel. Crisp, fruity onset, hints of peach, apple and light banana ester, medium carbo, full but slick mouthfeel. Cereally, bit grainy malt core with softer bready edges, spicy finish due to a combination of soapy coriander, (too) mildly citrus peel-like hop bitterness and ’jenever’-like alcohol along with subtle phenols. The eternal coriander strikes again, but fortunately not overly harshly; I personally would have opted to omit this spice altogether and use more of the Willamette, but in this form, this is a perfectly acceptable, albeit hardly innovative Belgian ale.
