33cl Bottle @ De Bierboom, Brugge on 4th July 2012. Ruby coloured brew with a good sized head of white bubbles on top. The nose was a malt infused blend of yeasty and caramel esters. The taste was also malt dominated and on the sweet side. Dark fruit feel to the flavours with no bitterness, even as the mouth dries. Solid body strength: could easily have been a sweet Stout and in a blind tasting that is what I’d have guessed at.

33cl bottle shared by Arve_Christian - thanks! A real gusher. Pours hazy, deep golden with lots of sediment and parts of the hop cone floating around. Fruity aroma with malt, alcohol, hops and spices. Fruity with a quite dry and bitter finish. A bit strange, but quite nice. (2012-08-11)

33 cl bottle @ Oluthuone Pekko, BBE 09/2013 as "de Maeght van Gottem"
ot of foaming immediately when opening the bottle. Aroma is somewhat leathery wiith fruits and somewhat tart citron. Flavour is a bit odd with citron, some apricot, yeast and hints of glue. Foamy palate with too much CO2. Apricot notes get stronger towards the end.

29/VII/2012 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ Crystal's place - BB: 17/X/13 - (2012-780)

Clear blond beer, big creamy white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: hint of citrus, orange peel, bit sugary, little floral. MF: quite some carbon, medium to full body. Taste: citric, acidity, little sweet, pretty floral, some fruits, orange peel, sugary, coriander. Aftertaste: floral hops, pretty bitter, citrus and orange peel, some spices.

Very good, just yellowish head, fast receding over veiled orange-golden beer. Banana- and bubblegumnose, and other yeastesters. Neutral to light-sweetish, bit toasted, to nearly roasted taste. Dried orangepeel powder, again yeasty. Feels very carbonated, CO² very obvious. Gives the impression of still being in fermentation, albeit in the final stages. The unique label tells us: "Anno 2008". If it were really brewed then, one probably couldn’t sell it any longer. Then "De Pinte". That’s a town in richer Gent’ suburbia. Then: "Het echt Pints biertje". Wow. That’s an outright lie. It is supposed to be brewed in Gottem, but even that is probably not true. Hijfte near Lochristi, anyone? 33cl, alcohol 7.5%. Ah, finally something positive and substantial. And then... nothing. So - next to nothing, and amongst that, even lies. Oh, yes, the cap tells us the BBDate. Hooray. And to top it all, it’s not even an original beer - but a labelbeer, kind of, but we don’t know from which. If it’s St. Canarus tripel... see Lochristi. The beer is quite OK, but I’m disgusted all the same!

Very good, dense, just off-white head over clear light-copper, big-bubbled beer. Sharpish malt & alcoholnose; some garden herbs. Pale malts sovereign. Bitterish & sweet-alcoholic. Sharp toasted backthroat, dry grain. Well-carbonated, slick, medium bodied; bit sharpish feel, long-lasting flavour. Despite the serious alcoholimpression, it drinks away fairly easily - making it all the more dangerous.

Pour is a cloudy brown with a large tan head. Aroma is some dark fruit and loads of brown sugar. Flavor is some sugar, figs and butterscotch. Finish is sweet sugar and some plum. Lots of carbonation with this beer. But it is still a very flavorful Belgian dark ale.
