Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel oranje bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat gistachtige geur. De smaak is moutig, zacht en fruitig.

Zwart bier zonder schuim. Smaak is licht zoet en licht bitter met iets van karamel en iets van fruit als bessen.

The "massieve ale" (or extra strong dubbel, if you like) in this series of Limburg regional beers from a young, small beer company dedicated to Duchenne's disease, for which they are trying to raise funds for scientific research. Steini bottle from De Vidts in Sint-Niklaas. Medium thick, very stable and closed, thickly 'membranous' lacing, pale greyish beige head over an initially almost clear, dark burgundy brown beer with ruby red glow and some dead protein bits near the bottom in the end. Aroma of treacle, chocolate milk even, toffee, candied dates, lots of fluffy powder sugar (as sprinkled on a doughnut or something), kahlua, banana, quite explicit cloves, very sweet industrial caramel sauce, honey, hints of wet dog, rainwater, stewed beef, liquorice candy, cooked pumpkin, apple sauce, brown rum, nougat, chewing gum, rubber. Expectedly sweet onset, ripe blue plums mixed with raisin, candied banana and very sweet ripe pear, fizzy carbo, a bit minerally and distracting from the actual flavour but not harshly numbing, light beef stock-like umami accent, underlying sourishness, very 'dim'; thick and somewhat syrupy, fluffy caramelly malt sweet middle with nutty edges but also a lot of residual 'brown' sugariness on top, spicy phenols quite prominent, very clove-like; a thin but noticeable bitterish toasted malt aspect comes in as well. Ends with a light chocolatey note on top of all that caramel, brown sugar and sweet fruitiness, but a deep, slightly spicy, mildly earthy and bit herbal hop bitter note comes in just where it becomes all too sweet - saving the day, or at least trying to do so, by countering this sweetness with a quite pronounced, yet inexpressive and 'dull' bitterishness - which is then taken over by a slightly wry, but first and foremost heart-warming, liqueur-like alcohol effect. Brown sugariness and a mostly sweet maltiness linger, the latter nevertheless adorned with a thin toasty-bitterish touch. Your average, overly sweet Belgian dubbel / quadrupel (this one hovering in between), a tad too sweet with quite a lot of lingering, bit sticky sugars, but at the same time adequately hopped as well, with a subtle umami aspect to it, probably coming from the (visible) proteins. I had much worse dubbels (and quads) than this, but I'm sure I will not remember it for its memorable greatness either after a few months.... But maybe that's just me sampling beers a bit too enthusiastically. By itself, perfectly acceptable for what it tries to be.

Hazy dark blond with massive foaming head. It’s pleasantly bitter and well balanced. One of the more competent Belgian IPA’s.

Red brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have lots of caramel and chocolatey malt notes. Dry and floral hop in the background. The sweetness of a Belgian Dubbel and the dryness of an English bitter. Good stuff.
