0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeers', bottled in October 2025. Black with a thin, frothy, quickly diminishing, light brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently fruity and slightly boozy aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes, whisky and light vanilla. Heavily sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite fruity, slightly boozy and minimally roasty taste of molasses, raisins, prunes, whisky, vanilla and light chocolate, followed by a long, moderately bitter, gently boozy finish. Almost full-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very rich and saturating brew, nicely fruity, not too boozy. Unfortunately a little thin, but apart from that a lovely beer.

#10,000: 0.75 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', bottled in February 2024. Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. A little sweetish, sourish, quite fruity and gently funky aroma of overripe lemon, horse blanket, grapefruit, apple, oak, hay and some white pepper. Minimally sweet, gently sour, fairly woody-dry, quite fruity, gently funky and a little nutty taste of overripe lemon, grapefruit, hay, horse blanket, apple, oak, leather and some white pepper, followed by a medium long, gently tart, moderately bitter, rather woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Lovely Geuze with an interesting nutty touch, very dry, quite elegant. Maybe not the best I've ever had, yet worth for my unique rating #10,000.

Thanks to everyone I've met along my journey for the last twelve years, especially for sharing, trading and drinking with me, it's been an absolute blast!
