25/X/14 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: n/a, bottled: 9/X/14 (2014-1141) Thanks to Jef for the bottle!
Clear black beer, small aery beige to brown head, irregular, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, caramel, alcohol, bit yeasty, some banana, fruity, bit sugary. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty sour, lots of red currants, bit of a citric acidity, lots of alcohol, bitter hops, cocoa powder, more alcohol. Aftertaste: very roasted, pretty sourish, coffee, charcoal, bit thin, vinous, bitter tannins, lots and lots of alcohol, infected kind of sourness??? I like a little sour touch in my stouts, so I don't mind the sour hint, for now. But not sure where the sour comes from...

Clear dark brown beer, irregular small beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit chemical, rubbery, band-aid, mainly on pouring or swiveling the beer in the glass. After a while the aroma tones down and you get notes of some chocolate, red berries, mocha, bit dusty, smoky hint even. MF: soft carbon, medium body, nice smooth creamy texture. Taste: little sweet, sourish, bit peated (I don't remember, did you put whisky malt in this, Jef? ;-), smoky, some caramel. Aftertaste: lots of peat, smoky, chocolate, red berrie,s touch of vanilla, little bitter, cocoa powder, hoppy finish. Very decent.

Bottle @ home. Clear orange color, medium sized white to off-white head. Aroma is sweetish and maybe slightly hoppy. Taste lightly malts, hops, again a little sweet, a bit herbal, a herbal bitterness. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm ok beer.

Very good cream head, faintly irregular, over brown-black beer with a ruby shine, shards of lace. Warm, coloured malts, brown candi sugar, mild lactic acid smell. Further liquorice, wood, dried dark fruit. Fine sourish-sweetish, wood and lactic acid, buttermilk. Bit of chocolate with banana filling. Fusels & esters. Not very well-bodied, but refreshing, titillating MF. Slick. Long-lasting flavour. Day and night when compared to the first Maenhout version. This one is great.

Oude Maalderij’s first beer, brewed at Maenhout, but since last year production apparently moved to Gulden Spoor. Bottled in 75 cl champagne bottles wrapped in paper on which a lengthy commercial (and probably fake) history is written. Light beige, moussy, not too stable head, colour a misty dark bronze. Subdued fruity character, some pear, some orange, caramelly and nutty malts, liquorice, mild grassy hop bitter finish, quite full mouthfeel. Not bad for a first attempt.

Towering, ultradense & -fine yellowish head over fully hazy darker amber beer. Weird herbal/greenery nose, canned veggies. Awful vegetal/insectoid flavour; agressive, but unaromatic hops, yeast byproducts; finish however being sugary sweet. Very slick, near fizzy carbonation. Route du Soleil??? Traffic jams at the toll gates, yes! I’m staying home this year. But not with this, ugh!

75cl bottle, shared with Blackhaddock, Fin & Loz @ Les Crepes de Sophie, Shrewsbury. Thanks Jeremy! This was a beautiful rare, aged quad. Some dried fruits and slight sour oud bruin notes, mildly sticky & sweet with some spice. A curious taste and glad to have tried it.
