The next beer might even be better. B.C."H." = British Cask "Head" - to be perceived as some disparate lonely looking bubbles, uncertain of their CO² content, and because of their scarcity, of undefinable colour. UFO's: Unspeakable Floating Obscenities MF: NO, that isn't it. That's mouthfeel, in civilized countries. I hereby solemny propose a law to be instated by all beergeeks, -amateurs, -lovers, -tasters, - enthusiasts that forthwith the use of the infernal spice, known as coriander, is forbidden for at least the five first years of brewing, and later only to be tolerated by explicit consent of minimum five different accredited beerorganisations. Infringements ought to be sanctioned by denouncement to the international beerpress and public drainpour of the offending brew.

Draught Small, slowly retreating yellow head over hazy amber beer. Fresh yeast, intense, stonefruit & orangepeel. Again yeast in front, toasted malts and coloured fresh grains; quite a bit of mildly sweet caramel. Hazelnuts, hardboard, rosemary. Alcohol remains seriously hidden, the cinnamon in a lesser way. Not very carbonated; at least medium bodied, faintly sticky. Nice, interesting, bit dangerous. In case Alengrin doesn't get to taste this; "Verloren Maandag" (Lost Monday) hails from 16-17th century Antwerpen where, on the first monday after Epiphany the city employees were payed out, and this in the pub. As a reward, they were treated there with beer and sausage rolls. Seen that afterwards, no work could be done anymore, it was a 'lost' monday. If Alengrin gets to taste this, he'll write you a couple of pages about this.

-1 point for the utterly irritating wax, making it a threat for my fingers. A few seconds of russet-beige bubbles over jet-black beer. Rather fruity aroams, with liquorice, some roast, and maltsyrup. Lots of esters, higher alcohols and fusels, cake glazing, meatroast, dark berries. Thick, chewy, luxurious beer, alcoholheat. Full bodied, well carbonated and hot. Impressive. And I had no idea that Crème de Cassis came in barrels ?!

Spectacular deep cardinal red to magenta, clear beer with a small pink rim. Fruit and horseblanket in perfect balance, intense, intense sour cherries and their skins. Sour, pure natural sour cherries, and unbelievably intense. Warming up, the acidity gets a light lemony streak, nowhere agressive. Still really tart, yet immensly satisfying; lipsmacking acidity, yet a fruitjuice viscosity. Awfully expensive when 'young', but worth every penny. Officialy this beer was a couple of months past best before date. The idea that such a kriek can only age for 7 years beggars belief. Txs to Stef!

Clear ruby beer, finely carbonated with a pink, unibubbular rim. Rosé wine nose, with some wild herbs' streak. Musk. The same again in the mouth, very fine & delicate flavours, fruity, vinous, floral. Wild yeasts' galore, but I could not find Brettanomyces. Light body, almost undercarbonated. Excellen hybrid light. Txs to Joren & Daniel

Short-lived white head over metallic red-copper beer. Alcohol, maltsyrup, nutty, buttered sweetcorn, and a foxy-fusely aroma. Sweet, woody, liquorice and again sweetcorn. Autumn leaves. Quite oily feel, alcohol and maybe even fusels. A bit (too) sweet and boozy for me; reminds me of the old-style northern French, ultra-strong blondes. Txs to Stef!

Small, just-off white head veiled pale yellow-golden beer. Musk, artic herbs, also muscatgrape, verbena, other specific kitchen herbs. Again muscat grapes, white vermouth, exotic leaves and herbs, musk, resin-y. Light body, certainly for an 8% ABV beer. Oily slick, not very carbonated. Bit weird, not bad. Txs to Stef!

Small, fine white covering over hazy pale yellow beer. Citrus, exotic fruit, but also chalk and smelling a tad dusty. Again chalk, citrus and other faint fruity flavours. Rather sweetish, and not exactly a tastebomb. Light body, good carbonation, not much news in the aftertaste. Not very remarkable, too easy, too fade. Txs to Stef!
