Thank you! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG 2018. Hazy orange. Nose is rotting banana, bread, spoiled in a horrible sweet way. Taste is rotting banana & fruit, soap, grain, chemical, spoiled, cleaning products, cleaning products,… Thick spoiled fruit body, total crap, really awful.

6/X/18 - 33cl bottle @ late RBBSG, Brouwerij Totem (Evergem), BB: VIII/19, lot 55 - (2018-1523) Thanks to Bierridder_S for sharing the bottle!
Clear to slightly hazy orange beer, small dense creamy off-white head, very stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: really bad, lots and lots of band-aid, burned rubber, very chemical, dirty, lots of sugary sweet raspberries, very artificial impression. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: oh my god, yuck this is really bad, slightly acidic, super chemical, all band-aid with a hint of raspberries. Aftertaste: a bit yeasty and super bad, probably infected, but that's the least of what's wrong with this beer... Probably fermented too warm...?

Sampled from bottle @ late RBBSG. Unclear murky, ugly, pale yellow orange color, virtually no head. Aroma is heavy raspberry candy. Sweet raspberry candy. [Dutch: van die harde, kleine zoete frambozen zuurtjes, dat "oud-Hollandse" snoepgoed]. Well, surprisingly the flavor is exactly the same. It's like the melted that candy. Don't know where the color went, but flavor wise it's exactly that. Funny.

One of already several beers by this brand new Brussels microbrewery, bottle from Fermenthings, with a simple, plain hangtag instead of a fixed label. Milky, pale greyish white, medium thick head quickly settling as a firm moussy ring around a practically open middle, cloudy (if not murky), ruddy-bronze brown robe with ochre-hued edges. Aroma of plum wine, walnut liqueur, brown candi sugar, banana mush, toffee, very strong clove-like and even medicinal ('band aid') phenols, dusty old coriander seed, gravy, wodka, fruit bread, damp tree leaves, parsnip, shoe poliush or even varnish, earth, mud, some wet dog, old gingerbread, sweaty horse saddle. Sweet onset, lots of brown sugariness, balancing on the edge of unpleasant stickiness, fruit bread-like banana, dried plum and raisin, sourish undertone, medium carbonation with minerally effects; slick but full mouthfeel, toffeeish maltiness with brown bread crust- and eventually very lightly old coffee grounds-notes but the candi sugar- and caramel-like sweetness prevail, heavily drenched in a strong spicy and medicinal phenolic effect, lingering banana ester and, more than anything else, an ethereal, methylated spirits-like booziness burning already from the middle phase onwards and heating the chest in a wodka-like way. Bready yeasty notes linger along with the sweetness, all drenched in this overt alcoholic effect. Even at this mighty ABV, the alcohol should have been much better hidden (see 'Westy' 12, Rochefort 10 and the like, guys!), this is just way too boozy; feels a bit 'messy' and dirty as well, especially with this overdose of band aid-like phenolicness. A brave attempt at an altogether challenging Belgo-Dutch beer style, open to a lot of improvement; reminds a bit of Mareklop's quad and other 'new' beers in this range. Probably a bit (too) young, but cellaring this will not take away its flaws and tuning down the ABV to, say, 9% or so could possibly result in a much better balanced beer. I miss the connection with the hoppy, modern quenchers often brought forth by the rest of the new Brussels microbreweries, too, but then I apparently have a series of other "Beer & You" brews to try before I can formulate an opinion on this brewery's general approach and house style.
