Bottle. Black pour. Aroma of tarr, smoke, licorice, dark chocolate, burned caramel, roasted malt and coffee. Taste has bitter dark chocolate, roasted malt, smoke, licorice, tarr, coffee, burned caramel and a little fruity earthy vanilla. The vanilla tones could be the bourbon, but it's overpowered by the heavy bitterness and burned malt. Very un-Belgian to brew a stout this rough and bitter.

Flesje gedronken bij H en B. Goudgeel licht troebel bier met matig schuim. Aroma is eerst citrus achtig daarna hoppig. De smaak is zacht en licht hoppig. De nasmaak is iets bitter maar trekt snel weg.

Pours very unclear, dark amber. medium sized, creamy white head. Scent is rich, tropical fruity, as well as loads of orange. Creamy, nice and intense. Taste is very nice. Creamy, mild bitterness, very fruity (stonefruit, mildly, but mostly orange and tropical) Medium creamy texture, medium high carbonation. Tad phenolic, perhaps, and a bit astrigent, perhaps a minor fault with the fermentation proces, on an otherwise very nice aromatic IPA.

Huge and dense light-yellowish head, fed by lively carbonated pale copper beer. Floral hops, greenery, cilandro, orange peel, white pepper. Huge head seriously hampers the smelling. Quite bitter indeed initially, but soon flows over into sweet-bitterish oranges. Bit metallic, young dandelion leaf. Ureum retronasal. Medium bodied at best, bit oily from the hops, very well-carbonated. Yes, it's not unoriginal which is enough for its raison d'être . OK!

Dark brown, beige foam. Roasty, some smoke, ashes along with subthe vanilla notes, some whisky.

Another rock band beer but luckily not a standard pale lager this time... Has been in existence for about six years now and is one of Vleesmeester's core products, but somehow it apparently escaped my attention - until now. Complexely cobweb-lacing, eggshell-white, quite thick and firm but also irregular and slowly breaking head, misty deep orange-glowing peach blonde robe, lively but 'refined' strings of sparkling. Aroma of freshly squeezed orange juice, clementine, dried onion, fried tomato peel, dry cookies, old biscuit, moist white pepper, gin, apricot, coriander seed, green melon, banana, dry cigarette tobacco whiff, dust. Fruity, crisp onset, light banana and melon notes mingled with hints at apricot and pineapple, light sourish edge, accentuated by very lively and somewhat coarse, sharp carbonation. Full, round-edged, peanutty and soggy rusk-like maltiness (yet with parts of it obviously replaced by candi syrup with heavy honeyish effect, as is common in Belgian ales), sweetish with a thin caramelly edge, but very quickly bittered by a very firm, spicy, rooty hoppiness, clinging to the root of the tongue in a quinine-like way but also retronasally propelling forward a whiff of citrus peel. This bitterness blends with a 'jenever'-like, slightly wry but in any case quite obvious alcohol effect that fortunately doesn't set in too early as well as a dusty old coriander seed spiciness, and is further adorned with phenolic spicy notes and ongoing honeyish 'malt' sweetness. Belgian tripel all the way, except for the heavy use of New World hops, which add a bright 'orange' citrusiness to the whole - but in the end, it is still the sharply carbonated, coriandered, candi syrup-using, boozy, sweet cliché tripel aspect of the beer that wins the case. Hoppy tripel, simply put, but there is nothing wrong with that per se - even if the tripel features clash a bit with the IPA-like hoppiness; in any case these Your Highness guys have a lot more to show for than all those rock bands with custom pale lagers (AC/DC, Motörhead and so on) - and even a lot more than their Belgian colleagues of Channel Zero with that awful Turbeau Noir...
