One of those old school Slaghmuylder beers, not sure if this is still made, rated from old notes. A dark chestnut brown beer with pale beige, moussy head and malty character with some dried fruits, walnuts and biscuit in the nose; malty and restrained fruity taste, sweetish with a hint of candi sugar as well as a certain sourishness, dryish finish with herbal hops and a touch of warming alcohol. Tasted its new incarnation yesterday too, for comparison with these old tasting notes, and it seems to have become even better than it was, adding umami-like hints of cooked beef and fried mushrooms, as well as more toasted maltiness, providing more bitterness than I remember from the old version. My rating here is an average of both.

Classic abbey tripel, historically linked to Westmalle (the monk on the label depicts a Westmalle trappist monk), even called ’trappistenbier’ before that designation became protected by law. Cream white, dense, thinnish but stable head, pure golden blonde colour, almost clear. Aroma of restrained malt sweetness, grassy hops, raw rhubarb, celery, white pepper, green apple peel, abbey cheese, honey. Smooth, dryish malty taste, subdued applish fruitiness, medium carbo, ending in a peppery hop bitterishness through which a certain, very subtle kind of saltiness pierces. Also tasted at 20 years of age at the Kulminator, my first ever encounter with aged beer, so this remains something special to me. That older version was of course heavily oxidized, but also notably sweeter and less dry than the young version described above.
