On tap in some random bar seating on the sea front in Middelkerke on 11th September 2022, so it hadn't travelled far. Nice, easy going Blonde/Tripel, mini-haze to the golden body, deep white head; looked good in it's own glass with the sun beating down on us. Yeasty, slightly spicy and tasty, liked it.

Bottle picked up in Delhaize, Diksmuide and consumed at Mums, Kempsey nr Worcester in the company of Mum, Keith, Lynn and Barry, Saturday 14th May 2022 . Pours dark chocolate brown in colour, murky with a light beige foam. Fruity, chocolate and caramel laden nose, with molasses. Taste is more of the same, more chocolate led perhaps, some dark, sticky dried fruit, tasting a touch sweet, it's ok but not particularly memorable.

Bottle picked up in Delhaize, Diksmuide and consumed at Mums, Kempsey nr Worcester in the company of Mum, Keith, Lynn and Barry, Saturday 14th May 2022 . Pours light amber with a good sized white head. Aroma is a peppery and hoppy with a spiciness. Taste is similar, little more bitterness than expected, some citrus, a little clove, honey and fruity underpinning the maltiness. Not bad but a little bit unbalanced.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Faint haze on a pale amber. Lovely dense white foam is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has peppery hop leaf. Stewed tea. Fruited bread. Taste is a little sweet, with a peppery, spicy leaf bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking. Fine carbonation. Slightly warming. Spicy hop finish. Kind of beer I’d happily drink multiples of, in a Belgian neighbourhood bar.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Deep ruby red. Fine off white head. Nose has fig and date. Raisins. Some leafy hop. Some caramel. Taste is super sweet, with a leafy bitterness. Smooth enough on the palate with soft carbonation. Feels all of the ABV. Dries out on the finish. Tasty gear, albeit a bit unrefined.

24/X/21 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ Arno & Meggy’s place, BB: VII/2021 (2021-1192) Thanks to Bierridder_S for the trade!

Clear red brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: dark caramel, milk chocolate, spicy, liquorice, star anise, coffee, overripe banana. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, lots of caramel, spicy, liquorice. Aftertaste: more spices, lots of anise, star anise, little bitter, more overripe banana. Not bad, but not very impressive either…

Small off-white head over hazy ochre-golden beer. Nose of sweet bread, suikerbrood , but then garden weeds, bit insectoid. Quite bitter, EU hops, bitterness turns metallic, whilst the beer becomes watery in the finish. Vegetable bitterness throughout, again the garden weeds, raw leaves, chicory. Good carbonation, light body; long metallic bitterness in the aftertaste. Jus de quoi? Wrong hops. Thanks to Stef!

Good foxy-cream head, rather stable over very dark brown beer. Melanoidins, dry, wood, old chocolate, classical dubbel. Much more sweet in the mouth, dry malts mixed with sweet chocolate, ovomaltine, melanoidins, caramel. Medium bodied at least, dry finish and aftertaste, good carbonation. OK, nothing more. Thanks to Stef!
