Another beer I feel fortunate to obtain, this one from Smaakhuis. A De Molen quadrupel and barrel aged also, normally a good combination. 33 cl bottle now opened and going inside of a Chimay glass. Mahogany liquid with some amber around the edges and an almost non-existent head but I see a small ring of taupe bubbles and there is a fortunate, consistent carbonation. The nose is a swell start. Ripe dark fruit, some booziness, grain and hard candy. And the drink, well, it is delightful, very full and rich with flavor. Black raisins, figs, baked bread, dark chocolate, roasted malts and plenty effect from the rum barrels. I do not recall a recent quad this fine. Good friend Rene approved and I agree.

Il naso riconosce sentori di caffè e di cioccolato. La finezza olfattiva è gratificante e molto elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è pregevole. Il manto birroso superiore color marrone castagno è destinato a vita breve. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato, complesso e multidimensionale. Il dolce è medio. L'amaro è nella norma. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la durata è buona, lunga e persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina e inducono a bevuta compulsiva. Il retrogusto è intenso e persistente. Al palato arrivano note di miele, crosta di panettone, cioccolato fondente, caffè, frutta secca, fiori, agrumi, arancia, mandarino, frutta passita, mandorla fresca, vino Porto, bruciato, liquirizia, vaniglia, trasformando la bocca in uno scrigno di tesori.

Op tap bij Borefts '25. Uit het getattoeerde vat. Zwarte kleur, dunne beige kraag. Gebrande mout, zalf, plastic fles, bourbon, vanille, het plastic-gevoel overheerst helaas. Niet de gehoopte knaller als afsluiter. Ergens goed dat de Molen stopt, de neergang doet pijn aan de ogen en smaakpapillen. Jammer van het festival, dat was wederom top.

Op tap bij Borefts '25. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Straf bitter, droog, gebrand, koffie, turf, normaliter zou ik dit heerlijk vinden maar het is zo dun, droog en bitter dat het niet aangenaam is. Lichte body.
