About
Een tiental jaar geleden kreeg ook ik, Erwin Vermeulen de brouwmicrobe te pakken. Na het beëindigen van de cursus zythologie had ik een heleboel interessante mensen in de bierwereld leren kennen waardoor ik besloten had een zeer geslaagd proefbrouwsel te commercialiseren.

Ik had intussen besloten, al mijn bieren naar een andere grote liefde van mij te noemen, mijn zoon Stan. Na het opstarten van de bierfirma ‘Stanneman’ ging ik op zoek naar een brouwerij en kwam terecht bij Brouwerij Pirlot in Zandhoven.

Bottle from Sandersput, Ninove. Impressions of raw liquorice, prune, raisin, chicory, fondant, mocha, tobacco. Taste has sweet prune, raisin & pear; quite herbal & spicy in a toasty malt body with a roasted hint of chicory coffee. Herbal hoppy finish, more dried fruit, toast and warming brown rum-like alcohol. Pleasant revisit of this oddly named 'Extra Dubbel'; still very much recommended. (Updated 21/06/2022)

Original rating:
29 April 2018, at Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke.
Hazy dark brown, almost black, with a small, foamy, tan head. Strong aroma of raisin, candied banana, light roasted malt, caramel, licorice, some coffee roast & chocolate. It tastes medium to heavy malty sweet with chocolate & caramel notes, and light roasted bitter. Dry, more toasty finish with herbal hops and warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy/syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. A Quad without a doubt, and a well-made one too.

Original rating 4.3/10 Thnx to Tim, Wim, and Eugene for the shared ! Pours clear blonde, small white head, rather unstable. Smell is sharp yeasty, mild maltyness. Taste is weak. Strong carbo, phenols and mild esthers. Aggressive, sharp bitterness that seems rather unnatural.

Rerate 2025. Hop changed to mosaic and cascade ( no more sorachi) and ibu brought down to 40 , so i regard the previous rating as null and void. Pours a clear blonde. Scent is green , earhty yet floral hops. Taste is full, mildly bitter, fairly complex, bit buttery (diacetyl?) pleasant fruity earthy undertone by the hops. Mild bitterness, personally would have enjoyed it a bit higher.
medium body and carbonation. A certain harshness in the finish, but that might be due to the plastic cup / diacetyl, which is the downside of having beer worth tasting on a metal festival i guess 6.8/10
