5 January 2019. At Backdoor, Ghent. Cheers to Eurogamer crew! Beer commissioned by Franky De Smet-Van Damme, lead singer of Belgian metal group Channel Zero. Sold at Backdoor as the alias 'Dragonbeer'. Pours hazy dark brown, reddish, with a lasting, small, unstable, frothy, tan head; some lacing. Aroma of red candy, strawberry, raspberry, syrup, cherry, candi sugar, industrial red yoghurt. Taste is medium fruity sweet, lots of raspberry & strawberry candy, in a rather artifical way; light fruity & wheaty sour too with a touch of bitter cherry pits; a bit malty & yoghurty. Dryish, tart, slightly herbal hoppy finish, but lingering red fruit & candy have the final say, and a dash of not too subtle 'fruit jenever' alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, soft to flat carbonation. With a name like that one would expect a Stout or something, not an overly sweet, alcoholic, pretty straightforward Fruit Beer (think Cherry Chouffe...). Meh.

The 2012 Brew Date & 2014 Bottling Batch. Very beautiful dark red color, looks like cherry juice, Long lasting head, never fully fades. Beautiful brett and cherry balance. Aroma has some light corkiness and a very pity cherry. Flavor is low sourness and high fruit with a sharp cork and short sour finish.Really enjoyable and easy drinking kriek. Full yet light and lively but not tingling carbonation.

Gekocht op 29-08-2018 in de chocoladewinkel Vereecke te Middelkerke (aan de tramhalte casino). En thuis geproefd op 22-12-2018. Phros is een helder amberkleurig biertje dat veel gebroken wit schuim produceert in een dik wollige structuur. Het blijft sterk aan het glas kleven maar zakt na een tijdje in elkaar tot er nog een dun laagje overblijft. Veel CO2 pareling te zien met grootte bellen. Het aroma van Phros is wat zurig, karamel zoet, wat peer en karamelmout. De smaak is vooral karamel zoet en karamel-moutig, wat bitterig en met hier nog een kleine pepertoets erbij. In de mond toont Phros een volle body, is hij niet droog, volmondig van textuur en normaal CO2 prikkelend. Een harmonieus biertje. De nasmaak vloeit wat uit en het bitterige blijft lang hangen, verder nog wat karamelmout, een pepertoetsje en een licht droogje. Een erg drinkbaar biertje waarvan goed te genieten valt.

330ml bottle from Dranken Geers. Pours clear amber, medium off-white foam atop. Aroma bears yeasty caramel hints, some light vanilla perhaps. Wouldn't necessarily peg it in the tripel category on taste. Deeper caramel malt flavours surfacing that a tripel would tend to avoid, though a familiar distant yeasty sweetness remains. Light biere de garde spice, lightly caramelised malt, light bodied with medium to high carbonation. Just doesn't seem to offer anything new or compelling in the current climate.
