Winter beer with deep reddish bronze colour and creamy head. Fruity aroma of plums, cherries, raisins, mild spiciness, something woody and something yoghurt-like; sweet maltiness, caramel, candied fruits, refreshened with a slight sourish touch almost reminiscent of an oud bruin. Bit thin finish.

Only available at Domus in Leuven, an unfiltered Pilsener and in that sense not very different from a Kellerbier, but hoppier. Light hazy golden blonde with fluffy snow white head; appetizing character of pure, clean, crisp and fresh pale malts, bit bready, soft carbo, fuller mouthfeel than usual. Finishes in a long, thirst-quenching, floral and spicy hoppiness. Les extrèmes se touchent: this, one of Belgium’s best (or only good) lagers, is made in the same city as Stella Artois. The contrast could not be bigger. One of my favorite Belgian ’pilsjes’ (or, in fact, almost the only one I truly enjoy), too bad this isn’t more widely available.

’Wild’ ale from tap at Domus, seemingly inspired by the great Orval. Stable, sticky, off-white head, cloudy amber colour with brownish hue. Aroma of nuts, caramel, leather, jute, field flowers, dried figues, toasted bread. Taste of dried fruits, some pear, candied figues, orange peel, caramelly and lightly nutty maltiness, mineral accent, bit funky finish with the unmistakable presence of Brettanomyces and leafy hop bitterness. Interesting, they should bottle this and sell it in larger quantities - which goes for their other beers as well.

Hazy red brown. Some candy sweetness in aroma and taste. Quite a spicy, yeasty taste. Slight berry sharpness in the finish.

Dark amber, a lot of white foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of caramel with light bitter finish. Some metallic notes. Easy drinkable.

Bit standard Belgian amber beer, with caramalt and some sweet bitterness. But being at Domus is always nice.

The Christmas beer of the wonderful Domus brewbar in Leuven. Nice and sweet, especially when tasted from the source.

Tap at Domus. Amber-orange color, cloudy, with a tall, fine head. Fruity nose, sweet orange, peaches, minerals. Very sweet and fruity, with peaches and orange and some grass. Light peppery finish. Fat too sweet, but some interesting flavors going on.

Draft sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Dorée trouble, col blanc. Arôme citronné, fruité moyen avec cette levure typique belge et un grains qui prend le dessus. Palais est malté, citronné moyen très belge pour un profil épais. Fleuri presque dans le mielleux pour une fine amertume de fin de bouche. Note herbacée montagneuse modérée suivi de grains.

Draught Small snowwhite, very dense and fine head over fully hazy straw-coloured beer. Grainy and grassy nose, fresh-smelling, but a little crude. More than a hint at yeastesters. Sweet, very grainy flavour, bit of milk-ripe grain. Hops are traceable retronasal, if pretty indifferent ones. Quite grist-slick, finish is a tad murky - unfinished tasting. Not very special, but exempt of brewingfaults, as well as of really disappointing features.
