330 ml, bottled July 24. Dark brown body, with a creamy, dark beige head.
Aroma of toast, dark bread, cocoa, some liquorice, some smoked wood, slight toffee. Tastes quite similar, with more hoppy notes and a bit more dark chocolate.
Finishes roasty, toasty, wooden, quite a lot of pine needle like hop notes, a bit smokey, slightly sweet, with some dark chocolate.

Nice, although I was expecting something a bit different as this was inspired by the classic Anchor Porter, but I don't get much similarities. Still a really quaffable, old-school Porter, with a robust character and also quite a lot of hop notes.

330 ml bottle, bb 12.11.2026. Orange, hazy body, with a big, fluffy head.
Aroma of orange juice, apricot, citrus, wet grass, pine, oat, some tropical fruits, some vanilla. Tastes similar, with more earthy and mineralic notes.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes earthy, piney, mineralic, citric, oaty, medium bitter, slightly sweet.

Very quaffable, clean and balanced, not too juicy and sweet, with enough characterful piney, earthy notes and a satisfying malt base. Surprisingly great example of that modern style by that traditional Austrian brewery!

330 ml bottle bought in Köszeg, bb 30.10.2026.
Amber, medium hazy body, with a big, slightly yellowish head.
Aroma of passion fruit, tea, berries, citrus, some toffee. Tastes similar, with some more bready malt.
Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes medium bitter, hoppy, zesty, a bit piney, a bit sweet.

Very old school, reminds me of classic IPAs from breweries like Dogfish Head', with quite a strong malt base. Not outstanding, but still really quaffable.

440 ml can from a Billa Plus supermarket, bb 29.10.2026. Orange, hazy body, with a big, frothy, white head.
Aroma of citrus, white grapes, orange, some berries, dough, moderatre spices, slight banana. Tastes quite dry, spicy, yeasty, with citrus, some berries, dough, moderate grapes.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes yeasty, spicy, hoppy, quite dry, citric, slightly piney.

Pretty hoppy throughout, with the typical Weissbier notes quite in the background. The nose is really lovely, with the typical Nelson Sauvin notes quite prominent. Tastes a bit underwhelming compared though. Still really quaffable and something I didn't see from an Austrian brewery before, so Kudos to that!

Black body, with a small head.
Aroma with lots of booze, soy sauce, coconut, port wine. Tastes less boozy, with more chocolate and marzipan.
Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes quite boozy again, moderate roasty, medium sweet, with chocolate, port wine.

A bit too boozy and heavy for my taste, while still interesting, with sweet and roasty notes in a good balance.

Thick, black, oily liquid, with almost no head.
Aroma of booze, bourbon, dark chocolate, coconut, some soy sauce. Taste has lots of dark chocolate and coconut, while not too sweet, some bourbon.
Oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes quite boozy, sweet, medium roasty, with soy sauce, coconut, dark chocolate.

Pretty intense, but still well balanced, with not too much boozy and sweet notes. I love the taste, which reminds me of a Bounty chocolate bar.

Orange, moderate hazy body, with a small head.
Aroma of stone fruits, moderate funk, moderate sherry, citrus, wood. Tastes lovely, with more sherry, some curry.
Medium mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes medium acidic, fruity, citric, wooden, a bit funky, with lingering sherry.

Lovely sherry notes, especially in the taste, while still with lots of fruity and funky notes noticeable. Characterful and very well balanced, while not among my favourite Zennes.

Amber body, with a medium head.
Aroma of stone fruits, funk, lemon. Tastes similar, more mineralic.
Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes fruity, mineralic, slightly funky.

Not that outstanding, but a straight, balanced Geuze that drinks really well for the ABV.

Red body, with a medum, off-white head.
Aroma of smooth raspberry, dark berries, some funk. Tastes similar, a bit sweeter and fruitier.
Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes smooth, moderate sweet, quite dry, a bit funky, with berries.

Not too most complex Antidoot I've had, but really well balanced instead. Lovely berry notes throughout, with just enough funk.
