Brussels Museums Nocturnes

Pours unclear, murkey, dark brown. muddy? or milkchocolaty ? pick what sounds best, i'd say, so lets call this milkchocolaty. Good and rather stable, creamy white head. Smell is sweet, caramelly, toffee. taste is sweet, but very complex. very earthy, caramelly, port-notes, but not due to age. Very silky and smooth. fall-leaves, a walk trough the forest pops in my mind. mild milkchocolaty notes as well. Very, very nice ! Decent mouthfeel and carbo, too. Awesome.

From Oct 2006

Poured from 750ml bottle a...dang! It started foaming over all over the place. I had to rush it to the kitchen and grab another couple of glasses so I wouldn't lose too much of it.

Well, after it finall settled down, it poured a cloudy rusty brown with, umm, a large head of foam that shrank slowly leaving a solid fine layer with lots of lacing.

The smell hit me before I ever got the cap fully off..it was a huge nose of sweet caramel malty goodness mixed in with good fruity tones like plum and apricot.

The taste is hugely sweet caramel but it's done right; the sweetness is not cloying and in fact, not negative in any way shape or form. My goodness, I'm now dreading the fact that I lost even 1 drop of this amazing brew.

After a few more sips, my palate begins to pick up on the fruity notes that I noted in the smell. Plum, a bit of apricot and some fig. I can't sense *any* bitterness what so ever and that's just fine by me. What a treat! And as far as it's abv by % goes..you've got to be kidding me!! 10%??? No sign of it in the taste at all and just a touch of warming as it goes down. Wow. Yum. This is world class stuff!!!

Bottom line: This is a brew that, if you see it in your neck of the woods, is *not* to be ignored! I recommend it on the highest level!
Just be *careful* when opening it!!!

Flavor is sweet, malt, bready, caramel, little yeast, toffee, sweet dried fruit, little alcohol. Medium to full body, average to lively carbonation, sweet finish with warming alcohol. To sweet and a bit overcarbonated. 161017

Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, shared with Anke and Pieter.
Pours hazy yellow with a small, lasting, foamy, white head. The aroma contains wheat, barley, coriander, lemon peel, orange and hops. It tastes light to medium spicy bitter and light citric sour into the (rather short) spicy finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Better than your average Witbier, for sure, but not something I would keep in my cellar by the dozen.

Bottle, many thanks King_Alex_II! Brown color with beige head. Aroma is caramel, buttered fudge, cherries. Taste is caramel, toffee, fudge. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Ok, but also quite unattenuated...

0,33 flaske fra de alltid like vennlige hos Belgisk Bryg, på hytta en lørdagskveld i sep-17: lett uklar gylden med ok skum. Deilig, mild citrusaroma med hint av krydder. Halvtørr, elegant smak med citrusmarmelade, mynte og et halvt pepperkorn i avslutningen. Rund fylde og alt for lett å helle innenfor snippen.

Pours unclear yellow. Decent sized white head, creamy, with a rather good stability. Smell is very weak. Taste is bit bitter, mild floral/spiced, bit of sweetness ( very little ) . Perhaps some coriander ? Mild esthers, overall pretty balanced though. Not really intense in flavor, and , as mentioned before, no real scent. making this an easy drinkin' beer I couldn't really get excited about. MF is medium, so is carbo. Not to much of the wheat to be found, accept perhaps a bit amped up creamyness. Didn't find the typical orange peel in this one.
