Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an almost clear golden with a lacing white head. Sweet fruity and malty nose with some alcohol coming through. Solid body, sweet fruit, a ton of white sugar and a surprisingly hoppy finish. Pleasantly hoppy which balances some of the white sugars. 230212

Before adding yeast: clear yellow body - nothing like a belgian white. With the yeast added: muddy but still very yellow for a Belgian white. Lovely off-white creamy/rocky head - nice looks. Aroma of citrus, orange - not very intense but nice. Moderately bitter, lightly citric sour flavour. Heavily carbonated. Quite ok, low bodied. Bit weak.

Deep mahoney to black body. Creamy, lightly brown head. Aroma of caramalts and strong coffee/chocolate malts. Well balanced and complex aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Well balanced, nice complexity in the flavour as well. Nice and warming.

(bottle, 33cl, subtitled Cuvée van de Generaal) Hazy, golden coloured hue with loads of floaties and a blond medium-sized foamy head. Rather discreet aroma: bready malt with notes of butter and alcohol. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Slightly bready (cara-)malt-character, buttery taste with spicy notes; sweet-bitter malt-accented finish with notes of alcohol. Unspectacular Tripel. 03.X.11

33cl bottle. Dorée, col blanc disparaît vite. Arôme fruité, léger houblon et citron, note grains, malt pale. En bouche, bière légère avec une faible amertume, aspect de froment et levure avec une fine pointe d’épice. Malt léger cara/pale/2row avec un fini pétillant laissant une touche terreuse/poudreuse. Sympa, facile à boire, bonne Tarwebier.

Bouteille 33cl. Présente une belle couleur cuivrée allant sur une note bordeaux, col épais beige. Bouquet fruité allant vers la prune, figue, date, sucre candi le tout ayant ce nez de fruits fermentés. Une bière agréable dans le style d’abbaye. Mélange un très bon profile malté, grillé donnant aussi des notes de café et torréfier avec des notes de fruits, prune et figue. Une très belle surprise.

Recht süßer Antrunk, in dem nach kurzer Zeit eine herbe sowie eine alkoholische Note auftreten. Im Mittelteil sehr würzig, der Alkohol hat sich aber nicht ganz gewandelt und ist so mit einer scharfen Note noch länger erkennbar. Deutlich schokoladig, intensiv röstig, zudem ist eine süßliche Kaffeenote vorhanden. Im weiteren Verlauf verschwinden Süße und Alkohol in einer sich steigernden Würzigkeit, die auch einige wenige Kräutertöne beinhaltet. Stimmiges Bierfür einen dunklen Winterabend! Danke an DerDoppelbock für das Bier! 11/13/11/14/10/13

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-amber colour with a tall and tanned foamy head. Sweet cara-malty aroma with notes of black tea and lemon, reminding me a bit of Earl Grey tea. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Present cara-malt character with delicate notes of lemon and again a touch of tea; moderately sweet malt-accented and slightly fruity finish with a very restrained level of bitterness. Nice but no highlight. 22.III.11
