33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Only 500 littre made, t he booklet assures me that this beer is without any imperfections or infections something which they didn’t feel was necessary to say about virtually any other beer, honestly I do not really feel the same as they do. Reddish dark brown with little mocha bubbles for a head. Nose is pretty strange (infection?), spices, anis, reminds me a bit of Pastis, old sticky candy, thick herbal,… Biter herbal & mouldy taste, something off, touch watery, caramel, thick anis, herbs, something decaying. Touch watery & flat body. I feel like this one is another one of their brews suffering from issue, either way whether or not this is the case, I am not the biggest fan here.

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus, Joes, Martinus and Countbeer @ weekly tasting. Clear golden color, medium sized instantly disappearing off-white head. Aroma is sourish fruit and artificial. Tastes about the same: sourish fruit, slightly sweetish as well, apricot, apple. Fizzy carbonation, average body.

Smooth fruity, mild honey, brett and fruity. Lingering dry bretty finish. Not sure it was intended this way, but quite nice bretty mild honey flavoured brew, sadly way to carbonated.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Purchased at Willems en Zoon. Small gusher – no surprise there. BBF 02/2013 – purchased quite recently. 2011 vintage maybe? Tropical fruit orange, some fading bubbles but pretty much no head. Smell is child vitamins, expired aspirin, exotic fruits, medicinal & smells like a chemistry schoolroom. Ehh… Taste is plastic exotic fruit juice, dried plaster, plastic, old medicine, chemistry lab, expired child vitamins, bitter herbs. Like juice & higher carb. Has issues just like their other brews, not sure if these guys should be commercial. Not that bad.
