4th Sep 2026: 75cl bottle from ID Stock. I'd rated the wrong beer last time (the beer which came up from the barcode) so tried again. A month past BBD. Seems more flavoursome than last time, fuller sweetness, more pronounced nelson sauvin notes.. how strange what a little age can do to a brut
25th June 2025: 75cl bottle from Carrefour as 1128 Brut Bier. Misty yellow pour with a short-lived white head. Gentle floral nose, some nelson sauvin hop notes. Certainly quite dry as befits the Brut tag. Tastes a little empty on the palate though welcome distant, slightly faint, Nelson Sauvin notes waft through. Never understood the appeal of brut beers and this does little to sway me.

A beer sampled from the menu in the bar of the Neptune. The appearance was brown with amber highlights and a small ring of taupe foam. I smelled ripe fruit and dark bread. The taste was inviting. Raisins, grain, malt, chocolate and red plums. Slightly sweet and dense. A nice dubbel.

Bit fluffy white head over somewhat hazy golden beer, lively carbonated. Spicy (thyme?) and a whiff of celeri and rhubarb, if not sourish smelling. Pale malts, other grains. Bit cardboard inside pale malts and pale vegetables. Spicy again, if unidentifyable. Finish has a nice if mild bitterishness. Light body, not empty, spritzy carbonation, refreshing. Decent. Definitely beats the 2024 Cuvée by lightyears.

Bottled 750ml. -from E.Leclerc Lille, shared with Hrabren. Unclear amber coloured, small off-white head, spicy and mild dried fruits in the nose. Fruity, spicy, discreet smoke, notes of wood and light yeast with touch of alcohol in the finish. Not bad.
