Draught, 9% at KØ16. Vinous aroma. Cloudy very dark brown colour. Very small head. The flavour has a good mild vanilla note. A little sweet, quite malty. Vinous touch. A little funk and acid in the finish. Well-rounded.

33cl bottle from Hopduvel, Ghent. A lively, slightly hazy, straw coloured pour with a billowing white head; lemony aroma; sweet grapefruit citrus taste with a thick yeasty grainy body; and a soft, satisfying finish with warmth and lingering grapefruit. A big Belgian style IPA.

Flaska från Etre Gourmete. Gyllengul, medelhögt vitt skum, lite fint sediment men inget som stör. Storleken större än stillbildande xx Bitter från de Ranke. Så det där får väl liknas vid en Dubbel-IPA Belgique. Större kropp där alkoholen slår igenom lite, lite trippelstuk med säd, honung, lätta estrar skapar fin doft. Gräsig humle med lite beska örter men totalt en måttlig beska. Inte lika lyckad som xx Bitter. Blir lite tung och alkoholstinn. Men att vara sämre betyder inte att det är dåligt.

Deutlich holziger Antrunk. Spritzig, leicht würzig, fast schon zu intensiv, dadurch künstlich wirkend. Trauben. 12/10/11/9//9
