75 cl. bottle sample @ 18th Christmasbeer festival in Essen. Apparently whilst they are currently still contract brewing this is one of the 4 current beers of Lochristi brewery. It is their intend to soon start a 10 HL brewery of their own using an intended but never used Piedboeuf demobrewery. Originally they apparently wanted to start a whisky distillery but some family members were into beer & the base of both beverages is not that far apart so they decided to go for both. Pours dark brown reddish with a small white head. Smell is sweet mocha, typical Belgian profile, soy sauce, spices, branches, herbs & dark fruits. Taste is Belgian yeast & overripe dark fruits, mocha, hoppy blended with soy sauce, dark fruits, bitter herbs and some caramel. m/m body. Okay – I wish the best of luck to this new brewery.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Cuivrée, col beige. Arôme malté, caramel, et grillé restant léger, note de grains, fruité noirs avec une pointe d’épice et un usage possible de genièvre? Palais est malté tirant vers une pointe de café très moyen et caramel/grillé, fruits noirs, avec ce fini belge assez typique procurant une certaine note aigre-douce en fin de bouche. Belle effervescence, le tout manque de convaincre.

Sampled at OBER Kerstbierfestival 2012. Opaque brownish color, small beige head. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, raisin, lightly caramel. Lightly some bitterness, liquorice and a touch of spices or herbs in the finish. Overall a bit weak though.

33cl. Ambrée assez léger, présentant qcq sédiments levure, col beige. Arôme de malt crystal avec en retrait ce profile de pils, le tout a un nez intéressant de sucre/toffee léger. En bouche, même avis, profile d’une scotch mais avec une légèreté de pils, belle note de malt grillé et caramel le tout sur un malt pils amer. Houblon EK Goldings rajoute un fini amer léger, le tout un côté fleuri et citronné.

Small yellowish head over hazy dark amber beer. Grassy nose, herbal, and caramel malts. Sweet-caramelly, bready. Finish is herbal, but light. Spritzy, slightly syrupy-slick. OK, nothing more.

Very good, dense yellow head over orange-golden beer. Veggie nose, with a jumble of malts, totally unbalanced aromas. Sweet-metallic, bit sweaty, meaty, dry yeasty flavours. Thick texture - way too thick for a tripel. Strange "tripel". Even stranger from De Proef.

Small, lightly yellow-tinted head over fully hazy orange-golden beer. Green ferns, unripe strawberry, and some fruity, citrussy notes. Old cookies, grains and/or wheat; human sweat in the finish, or dry-fried bacon without the saltiness. Medium bodied, very slick, like wheatslickness, and ending quite dry. OK, but another rather unoriginal beer.
