Grand Cru from Brasserie de l'Abbaye du Val-Dieu (Aubel, Belgium 🇧🇪)

6.9/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 7

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeers', best before May 2027. Hazy, dark ruby with a large, foamy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of raisins, prunes, caramel and molasses. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity, slightly boozy and a little yeasty-spicy taste of prunes, raisins, caramel, molasses and alcohol, followed by a long, gently bitter, quite boozy and a bit yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not very refined or complex, rather a boozy sugar bomb. Not bad, but quite disappointing.

#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!

0.33 l bottle from 'Craftbeers', best before September 2030. Pitch black with a few brown bubbles on top of it. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently roasty and slightly fruity aroma of praline, coffee, bourbon, vanilla, calvados, some raisins and a touch of cinnamon. Rather sweet, malty, fairly roasty, gently fruity and slightly boozy taste of praline, mocha, calvados, bourbon, rum, vanilla, cinnamon and raisins, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, slightly boozy finish. Almost full-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Lovely brew, very complex, rich and saturating, such a pleasure to drink.

0.375 l bottle from 'Hetbiermoment.nl', best before March 2030. Slightly hazy, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, sourish, gently fruity and a little funky aroma of caramel, vinegar, rhubarb and light brett. Gently sweet, moderately sour, quite fruity and slightly funky taste of caramel, vinegar, rhubarb, lemon, some honey and light brett, followed by a medium long, gently tart, a little dry finish.

0.44 l can from 'Craftbeers', best before November 2026. Almost clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, gently grassy-spicy, slightly fruity-floral aroma of grains, some straw and light lemon peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently grassy-spicy and a bit fruity-floral taste of grains, straw, hints of butter and a touch of lemon peel, followed by a short, gently bitter, minimally dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite okay, rather classic, a bit monotonous.

0.355 l bottle from 'Craftbeers', 2022 vintage, 11.5% abv. Black, no head. Intensely sweetish-malty, gently roasty, slightly fruity aroma of molasses, chocolate, coffee, bourbon, vanilla and raisins. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently roasty, slightly fruity taste of molasses, caramel, praline, mocha, bourbon, roasted hazelnut, raisins, prunes and licorice, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, quite boozy finish. Full body, oily mouthfeel, completely flat. Delicious brew, fairly intense and rich, just a bit too sharp. What a brewery this was.
