Aus der Dose (canned 31.03.2025) im 2025-09 getrunken. Dieses cremige, alkoholfreie Porter erinnert an ein Schoko-Keks mit Vanille-Creme. Nach hinter wirkt es etwas dünn. Jedoch wenn man 3-4 Schluck hintereinandern nimmt ist der Abgang doch vollmundiger. Für ein Alkoholfreies Ale ein richtig Tolles, mit schöner Harmonie der Aromen.

J'étais resté sur la version classique de l'Hemel & Aarde classique qui était bien trop fumée pour moi, mais qui était dans la lignée des De Molen, c'est à dire très bien faite. J'appréhendais de fait naturellement cette version vieillie en fut de Bourbon qui a pris 1 % au passage pour passer à 11 %. Et le bourbon lui va très bien car il permet d'atténuer le fumé en le rendant beaucoup plus acceptable avec un meilleur équilibre aromatique. Le vieillissement est de surcroît parfaitement maîtrisé avec un bourbon respectant la base et conférant de la chaleur, de la complexité et de la force. Belle bière.

I have a 330 ml bottle, my first De Molen wheat wine I am sure. Tilting into a globe glass the appearance is a dark cinnamon brown liquid with a spare cover of silver-tan foam. The scent is dominated by the bourbon, a good start, and followed by grain and ripe dark fruit. The taste complements the nose with ripe plums, caramel, toasted bread, hard candy, a hint of the barrel and meadow. Decently all right.
