Bottle from Geers. Hazy dark brown, small, off-white head. Aroma of dried red apple, red grape, prune, pear, cognac, liquorice, wood, toffee. Taste has sweet raisin, prune & red apple over a toffee-ish malt base with bitter notes of spices & orange peel. Herbal hoppy finish, slightly grapefruity, spicy, woody; warming cognac-like alcohol in the very end. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Must have been an older bottle; matured quite nicely.

The third beer in this 'Kortrijkse' range, unsurprisingly a tripel; bottle from the Carrefour Hypermarket in the Oude Bareel quarter on the border of Oostakker and Sint-Amandsberg. Very thick and foamy, frothy, busily cobweb-lacing, off-white, pillowy head resting stable on an initially crystal clear, warm metallic 'old golden' robe with beautiful deep golden glow, misty with sediment but still displaying lots of lively sparkling. Aroma of old bread, coriander seed, cold potato mash, damp straw, cooked turnip, dust, hay, dried thyme, unripe peach, 'oude jenever', subtle whiffs of iron, brown soap, old dried tarragon and chicken soup (the latter probably hinting at beginning oxidation). Crisp onset, relatively low in sweetness for this style, with only some apple peel and unripe peach notes, as well as a faint whiff of banana peel; fizzy carbonation, a tad stingy even for a tripel, but rounded and full mouthfeel, if plagued by an ever so slight metallic accent. Bready and cracker-like maltiness with a very faint peanutty edge, under spicy phenols (clove, tarragon, thyme) and actual spicing (coriander), before a floral and grassy hop bitterness comes along to make a drying appearance, matched with an equally increasing, gin-like alcohol warmth, which somehow manages not to interfere with the main flavours too much - even if its presence can be literally felt early on. Perhaps a tad too boozy, but I do appreciate the outspoken, earthy, old school hoppiness here, as well as the lack of residual sugars which annoys me in so many other tripels. Have a point for that alone.

Vrij helder, levendig, goudgeel bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van mandarijn, wat citrus en banaan. Heel goed.

Bottle at tasting shared with Drebus and Joes. Darker reddish color, medium sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, some roast, malty bitter, bitter lingering finish. Hmm odd quadrupel tbh.

Bruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van karamel, wat rozijnen, gedroogd fruit en een vleug honing. Daar tussen is een heel zacht zuurtje te ontdekken die het geheel afmaakt.
