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.

Pitch black beer with a russet rim. Leather, liquorice, vanilla. I can imagine blackberries - but then I know they're in there. Caramel, toffee. Very sweet, Bourbon, vanilla. And blackberry liqueur - syrup. Lots of alcohol/fusels. Lipsmacking stickyness. Thick, viscously full bodied. Alcoholheat. Nice, as expected - but for me, the Tay - sorry - Marionberries might have been more prominent.

Small, just off-white head over lightly copperish golden beer with fine pearling. Horseblanket, partly dried golden grapes, shoepolish, leather, farmyard, straw, some resin. Again leather, hint of liquorice, straw, grapeliqueur, horseblanket. Again those half-dried grapes. Almost a tad sticky; good carbonation; almost no acidthinning (nor -burn). The pine lends just a bit of resin. But it clashes somewhat with classical lambic features. Not my favourite OB.

Draught Looks like pressed fruitjuice for all the world; thick, just off-white head as whipped milk. All kinds of fruitaromas. Lychee, indeed mangosteen, citrus, banana. Same in the taste: the above plus a hoppy bitter(ish)ness. Faint chalk, extremely long-lasting flavours. Lychee, mango, banana. Extremely creamy MF, chewy, fruit-filled, soft carbonation. Niche beer, but in that light, really succeeded.

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. Alcoholic, 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!
