A 33 cl bottle obtained on a family holiday through Europe. Using the favorite Trappistes Rochefort glass tonight, I pull the cap and pour. Dark caramel brown with little noticeable head. The scent is ripe fruit, candy and alcohol. I take a drink, toffee immediately, plums, raisins, malt, a touch of dough, oaky to a small degree and a boozy background and finish. The feel is surprisingly full for so little carbonation. Interesting beer, likeable, not great.

Bottle from Delhaize Dok Noord. Cloudy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of burnt fudge & marshmallow, fondant, liquorice, cappuccino, black olive, teriyaki, brownie, whisky. Taste has sweet date & fig in a milk-chocolatey, dark fudge-like malt body with a subtle hint of burnt marshmallow, bitter liquorice & coffee and umami teriyaki. Earthy hops in the finish, some phenolic liquorice, bitter fondant & coffee and boozy (cheap) whisky-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. The marshmallow is only adjunct to the core profile of a relatively clean, roasty Stout. Very nice surprise!

A different label, a different ABV, as of the time of this sampling. Quite all right, I do enjoy trying quadrupels. I have a 33 cl bottle delivered to me from one of my Belgian retailers. Opening now before tilting into a Chimay glass, the view is mahogany brown topped with a steady, creamy head of parchment colored foam. I smell ripe fruit, yeast and grain. A full drink, I think there is a good start to this tasting. Whole grain bread, figs, raisins, malt and red cherries lending a limited touch of sourness to the taste. A small sweetness and certainly a dense sensation. A traditional approach to quads, certainly I see plenty to like.

Besteld op 18-09-2022 bij Poseidon Beers en thuisgebracht op 20-09-2022 door Sander himself. Thuis op 18-02-2023 samen met mijn smaakpapillen geproefd. Het bier noemde vroeger ‘Ne Koven’ maar dit is verandert naar ‘Koven’.
Mareklop Koven 2022 wordt gebrouwen bij Brouwerij De Meester uit Lendelede voor Mareklop uit Lokeren. De Koven vind zijn oorsprong bij de Lokerse Kovenkenskermis in de Heirbrugwijk. Mareklop werkt sinds 2015 samen met Koveken en hieruit is de Koven ontstaan.

MAREKLOP KOVEN 2022 is een goud-amber en helder bier dat veel wit schuim aanmaakt in een rotsachtige vorm. Het blijft sterk aan de glaswand kleven en blijft goed stabiel. Toch heb je op het eind nog slechts een fijn laagje van enkele mm’s dikte op je bier staan. Je ziet veel fijne CO2 belletjes omhoog parelen.
HET AROMA:
Zoetig, wat gistbitter, ananas, graan, mout, koriander.
DE SMAAK:
Zoetig, licht hopbitter,moutig, wat floraal.
HET MONDGEVOEL:
Gaat van volle naar medium body, licht bitterdroog en een romige textuur. Een normale koolzuur prikkeling.
DE NASMAAK:
Het weinige (hop)bitter vloeit toch lang uit, verder wat zoetigheid, mout, koriander en een lichte droge tint.
HET TOTAALGEVOEL:
Een harmonieus bier.
HET VERDICT:
Een eenvoudig en vooral moutig blondje.
