Sloefmans (15519) reviewed Kwaremont Tripel from Brouwerij De Brabandere 2 weeks ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 5 | Overall - 6
Huge, light-yellowish head, fed by lively carbonated plated gold beer and textbook lace. White candi sugar dominating spicy and herbal notes, peppery, undergrowth branches. Faint rainwater/wet dog. Aloholic, boozy characteristics overlying partly toasted malts; white candi sugar, scorched. Some yeast features; branches. Warming up, more bitterness, acorns. Sharpish feel, alcoholburn, bit slick. Very well-carbonated. Another 'tripel'. Too expensive for the boozers on the market benches or on the verges near de koerse, but in the end not much more than a top fermented maltliquor. Txs to Stef!

Disappearing small cream-rust head over jet-black beer. Vulcanized rubber, chemistry, vanilla, peanuts. Completely different flavour, dry, with ashes and a remarkably light body (*). Some chocolated, cacao. Light (*) for its ABV, as the feel is viscous. Good carbonation. A disconcerting beer, putting one on the wrong foot throughout. I'm really not a huge fan. Txs to Stef!

Shortlived cream-coloured head over clear, pale copper beer. Honey, spices, thyme, bit sharpish nose, solvent. Sweet, thyme, gum, rubber, mead. Alcoholsweetness (and -burn, of course), enhanced by the honey. Finish is almost raw alcohol. Very oily feel, however, viscous, low carbonation. Sorry guys, but this can't convince me. The spices lend this braggot something really artificial, it's as chewing on an eraser. Txs to Stef!

Sloefmans (15519) reviewed Black Velvet 2.0 from Vault City 2 weeks ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6.5 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7
Thick rosy-cream head over indeed pitch black beer. Black cherries, black chocolate, raspberries, chocolate icecream with strawberry/raspberry/vanilla flavours. Very lightly sourish fruitflavours, on top of black, if not very bitter chocolate. Lactose is also obvious in taste and MF. Well-filled, creamy and good carbonation. However, it feels lighter than a 6.5% stout would warrant. Oh well. Certainly not my idea of a sour whatever.
Sloefmans (15519) reviewed Sjokoladestout from Austmann Bryggeri 2 weeks ago
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
Very thick, dark cream to huge head over fully opaque brown beer. Chocolate a mile out, thick cacaocream, and a hint at tobacco. Sweet and dry chocolate, again some tobacco. Long lasting flavour. Other grains, the oats making themselves really present, also characteristically in the very creamy feel. Good carbonation, feeling rather better bodied. Amusing. Txs to Joren!

Head gone in seconds; light orange-golden beer. Lots of asafoetida, wet dog, hopoil overdose, resin and citruspeel. Citrus in force, citruspeel, fruitesters, resins and hopoils. Musk, asafoetida. Quite (hopoil)slick, good carbonation, viscous. A tad too raw. They really tried to be more western than West Coast (although, west coast can't be that difficult in Norway...). Txs to Joren!
