Bottle BBE 03/11/2020 +5YRS. Almost black beer, a head is small and beige. Aroma has fried fruits, raisin, prune, but freshly, light barrel and spicyness. Taste has dried fruitness, raisin, barrel, surprisingly dry. Medium+ bodied. Very nice, but not top notch. Maybe already too old?

Bottle. Near clear brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate feels thin and a tad dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin bodied malts, plenty of tangy caramel, not that sweet, a touch of malt cream. Thin wet wood into tangy ripe fruits soaked in bourbon. The ending is approaching sour with its tang. A bit thin and tangy then. A better malt base would hold this together a lot better.

Big fan! It's been a long time since I've had a normal beer from Struise.

Bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours clear copper with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and tangy, plenty of citrus, orange marmalade, grapefruit, tropical fruit cocktail, sappy, sticky pine and a splash of Irn Bru. The taste is dry, some bitterness, oily, sappy, resinous, pine, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, tangerine peel, pomelo, florals, touch of spice and muted caramel with a drying, pithy citrus finish. Average body and fluffy carbonation. Grew on me a bit. Not a huge amount of depth, but has some nice fruitiness. Not quite up to usual De Struise standards.

Bottle. A quite malt forward beer, yet with a pleasant, gentle fruityness. Lightly piney, grapefruity. Very gentle bitterness. Herbal hints. Rather low on carbonation too. Not much going on here, but at least not foul. 546211 260409

Aus der Flasche (bottled 03.09.2025/bbe 03.09.2030) im 2026-04 getrunken. Hier bei diesen dinklen Belgier entdeckt man neben den schönen malzigen Aroma den Fassausbau aus dem Brandyfass. So kommen leicht hinter dem Malz eine feine Trauben- und Eichennote dazu. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und sorgt für ein kräftigen Körper. Ich glaube aber das es durch noch etwas längere Flaschenreifung noch mehr Spaß ins Glas kommen könnte.
