33 cl. bottle @ Gollem. Hazy ruby amber with a cream off-white head. Taste is sweet caramel, rye, bitter bread, alternative grains, bitter spices, raisin, some fruit, light grass, BE yeast, almost hint booze, lively carb. Finally tried one of the Wolf beers. Not bad.

Draught at the Belgian Beer Weekend. Medium gold with a high head. Malty, bread with honey and some peach. A pretty average Belgian blonde that has almost no hop presence and could sorely use some.

At the Belgian Beer Weekend in Osaka. 7.5% gold color, thick fluffy head. A Belgian Strong Ale with an aroma of fruit over a grassy malt base. The flavor is kind of odd, mild spice, grain, fruits. Very nice but wholly unexpected, I suspect they use some unusual grains in the mash. I like it, it kind of reminds me of coup de grisou. Possibly they use buckwheat...? It had a kind of spicy peppery note I enjoyed.

Bottle. A dense, finger-thick off-white head leaves lacings as the more or less clear, dark amber to brown body slides down my throath. Yeasty, sugary aroma with prunes and some grassy, piney hops. The flavor is pretty much the same, too sugary and yeasty I think, with prunes and some caramel hints. Decent bitterness. Full body, some warmth. Pleasant carbonation. As for Wolf 7 & 8, it’s way too yeasty. Else it’s quite decent. 130516

Bottle 330ml @ Geokkjer
Pours clear deep amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, dried fruits, alcohol and yeast. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. An unclear, reddish brown beer topped by a finger-thick, light beige head. Prunes, dark sugars, some roasted malts and caramel in the aroma. Yeast too. The flavor has an almost unpleasant hoppy bitterness, else it’s more or less the same as the aroma. Full body, sort of too carbonated. Bitter, lightly roasted finish. Overall, too yeasty, and there’s also some vegetables. Not DMS, but green asparagus or broccoli. 130516

Bottle. It pours a small, off-white head over a lighlty unclear golden body. Lighlty yeasty aroma with fruityness and white sugar. Alcohol notes too, which grows quite stronger in the mouth. Warming and full-bodied, with flavors of white sugar, fruityness, a spiced hint and some peach hints. Some bitterness. Sugary, fruity finish. Well, it’s far from the best Belgian beer I’ve had, but it’s drinkable and pretty drinkable. 130516
