750ml bottle thanks to kraddel pours out golden topped with a fizzy white head. Nose is very complex bubble gum spice light banana esters and some wood. Taste is more of the nice fruit notes spice and a soft end.

Black label -beer of the Brochus Brewery in Antwerp, meaning the batch is Rediculously small ( max 25 bottles, yet fully oficial, never a ’homebrew’ but produced in a 25 liter tank ) . One should start with seeing the bigger picture here - being the packaging and idea. Black label beers are 75 cl beers, wrapped in black paper. They have a necklabel which contains information over the style, the specific beer, the Brewery, and even the used malts and hops ( in percentages ) . The necklabel is attached with home-made wax, completing the look of a very, very nice presentation beer, that is so far typically served in the better restaurants ( star-restaurants ). This must be partly due to the great packaging, complete and efficient, as well as elegant and clean. Very nice ! The pour of the beer looks very nice as well. It is clear, dark red, with a medium sized head. Smell is fruity (orange ) mildly bitter, a sweet touch, as well as hoppyness. Taste is bitter, complex, still fruity, very aromatic. Complex, balanced, and once again very damn elegant. I love this beer ! I’m not afraid to admit that any other exactly-the-same beer would have had a lower score, but I have to take in count how great this beer is produced. the looks of the bottle, the very informative necklabel, a really nice website... This is simply what Antwerp needed - a damn fine craft Brewery ! can’t wait to try more of them !

White label-beer of the Brochus Brewery in Antwerp, meaning the batch is bigger ( in this case 2893 bottles ) . One should start with seeing the bigger picture here - being the packaging and idea. White label beers are 75 cl beers, wrapped in white paper. They have a necklabel which contains information over the style, the specific beer, the Brewery, and even the used malts and hops ( in percentages ) . The necklabel is attached with home-made wax, completing the look of a very, very nice presentation beer, that is so far typically served in the better restaurants ( star-restaurants ). This must be partly due to the great packaging, complete and efficient, as well as elegant and clean. Very nice ! The pour of the beer looks very nice as well. Unclear blonde, but not cloudy or anything like that. Just unfiltered blond beer, the way it should be. Rather small white head. The smell is complex, has some distant fruityness to it. Taste is very full, rather bitter, very complex, balanced, elegant... The fruityness remains. Of course there is saison yeast in there, but it’s not an overly yeasty-type of Belgian beer. To my own taste, it has a bit too high carbonation, but when looking to the style of saison in general, this one’s carbonation is very nice (compared to) . The mouthfeel is completely where it should be as well. Saison is not the most sexy style to me, but this for sure is 100 % quality. It fits the style perfectly, withoud being boring in it. Its very different than other beers, without having a ton of additives. Its simply very impressive. Take in concideration the packaging and idea’s behind it, and you got a beer that is more perfect than I would have ever imagined.
