Pours with a white, fizzy head. Hazy whitish-yellow body. Tiny particles floating around everywhere. Aroma of sweet mandirin, coriander and honey. Spicey taste with some yeasty elements. Fizzy bubbles, but a creamy mouthfeel.

Pours with a large, rocky head. Weak lacing covers the hazy yellow body. Sweet berry aroma with honey and some plastic and juniper. Tastes like a watered down Tripel with its spiceyness and then the yeastiness and bittereness. Fizzy, fizzy mouthfeel!

Bottled. Deep brown colour with mediumsized brown head. Leaves some slight lace. Aroma is hops, mild caramel malts, mild nectary sweetness and some yeast. Flavour is mild caramel malts, yeast and quite much wooden notes. Wellbalanced brew, that hides the 6.9% completely.

750mL Ceramic swingtop bottle. Listed as Hoogstraten Poorter. Pours with a hazy brown body. Aroma of dried fruits, honey, tangerine, and chocolate malts. Full retention and lacing on the head. Doesn’t taste anything like the porter it claims to be. For sure a belgian, if not a belgian streong. Fruity sweet taste. Bit too fizzy carbonation ontop of a watery body. Overall quite good.

Pours with a large, rocky, light brown head with an ultra-dark brown body. Good lacing and decent retention throughout. Aroma of hops, honey, clove and belgian sugar. Taste is sweet, slightly yeast, but pretty mild overall with some spices and malts in the finish. A bit fizzy with the consistency of water over the tongue. A good belgian sipper in a nice resealable ceramic bottle.

Pretty, slightly volatile, nearly strong ale aroma. Looks very vanilla pale, almost cloudy. Has a bit of mild bitter bite but is for the most part a palatable friendly drink. Finish is nice, a little dull, but in a good way. Not quite as enjoyable as other wits, but still very nice.

Deep reddish brown ale with a thin white head. A sweet caramel aroma with notes of coriander, light molasses and evidence of oxydation, maderization. In mouth, sweet candy sugar with light orange peels, no alcohol, and madera. Not bad considering this may be passed its prime. Bottle at Vineyards, Spring 2007, 8.95$.
