(Bottle 33 cl) Comes in an unusual but very pretty bottle with the brewery seal in it. Very dark, almost black, with a massive brownish head. Roasted malty aromas with a touch of chocolate cookies. The sweetness is predominant but never cloying. The hops and the bitter malts level things out. A sweet stout - sort of a rare style for Belgium. 140398

(Bottle 25 cl) Reddish brown with a small, beige head. Lightly vinegary almost rotten aromas. Typical and very pronounced metallic flavours. But unlike most sour ales this has more sweet than sour. And even some bitter hops in the finish. Not bad, but not very typical for it’s style. 050398

(Bottle 25 cl) Amber coloured with a small off-white head. Has some fruity notes from the ale-yeast, some malt and some indefinable spices. Late bitterness. Quenching but thin-bodied and hasn’t really much going on. Not unpleasant just rather anonymous. 050398

(Bottle 25 cl) Another very odd beer: first soft and watery, then sweet and sour only to finish almost smoked. A journey through all these impressions in only 25 cl - magnficent! Very refined, delicious nose. Hazy, orangey golden, small beige head. 070298

(Bottle 25 cl) A name that promises a lot... Pale golden beer with a decent head. Rather watery body with a creeping, slow bitterness in the palate. 051297

(Bottle 25 cl) Golden and hazy - almost Witbier-appearance - white, collapsing head. Yeasty acidity - I’m sure there’s some wheat in here. But no real frutiness before the bitter finish. Unusual. 201197

(Bottle 25 cl) Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head - some haze. Sweetish malt, a touch of caramel with a fine, moderate hoppy finish. Nice. But have to agree with lachesis - this is no sour ale. Peter Crombecq defined it as an "extra" - a not too strong ale that doesn’t fit into most other categorie. We should just label it "Belgian Ale" I believe. 081197

The beer carries the catkin of the bog myrtle. It is quite unclear whether this was effectively used. Good fluffy, dirty white head, fast receding; murky peach to amber beer. Bit of caramel, white candi sugar, a touch of coriander and... dammit. Somethin used in haute cuisine , like a herb for flavouring salmon smoked à la minute. More coriander warming up, and cocos. Dry taste, coriander to the fore, lending it a fake citrus touch. Oh my, Marc had gone coriandering too. Belgium’s brewers imitating their imitators. It’s not too overpowering, rather chafing instead of irritating. Aromatic-soapy flavours. End bitterness, and getting a touch of cocos. Medium bodied. Not much going on. Remarkable how many want to make a tripel, remarkable how few achieve the looked-upon Westmalle Tripel quality...

(Bottle 25 cl) Nice deep golden colour - almost amber. Fairly decent head with some lacing. Some initial sweetness quickly balanced with a rather hoppy finish. 290695

(Bottle 25 cl) Very pale with a small, white head. But surprisingly full-bodied with lots of flavours. Very strong bitternes with an unusual sweet palate. Not like anything I’ve tried before. 150294
