Dark brown coloured beer with a nice beige creamy head. Full aroma with hints of chocolate and tobacco. There is some sweetness of caramel first but there's some bitter also in the end. Very well balanced for a beer with such a high abv. I had a relative new brew, so I can't judge on the fact that it has some taste evolution after 10 months...
A special beer from a local brewery not far from my place, that won the 'Brouwland' Beer competition, always nice.

I tried this beer at the Gambrinus pub in Brugge.

A - A very dark ale with a beige head on top, which turns in to a fluffy substance rather slow.

S - Fruity hops up front, than comes a yeasty kind of smell and after that the is a touch of pine noticeable.

T - Candy sugar up front, not to much though, just in balance with the other flavors. The body has a full sweet and bitter taste, mixed with floral hops.

M - A medium carbonation and a warming aftertaste.

O - A nice quadruple. a little different than the other ones out-there.

33 cl bottel poured into my lost zbbey stemware glass

Very dark, opaque, almost black colored pour. Large, light tan, head that is slow to drop and produces a bit of lacing.
Spicy, peppery, molasses and malt aroma. An almost vegetable aroma as well. Peppery spice in the mouth.
Bitter and watered down hop flavor. Dry, bitter back. A little too dry and some of that vegetable aroma is evident in the mouth as well.

Not bad. But not a real quad

During a trip to Brugge in Dec 2011 I had two 33 cl bottles of this brew, the first in t’Brugs Beertje and the second in De Bierboom: this review is of the second bottle, Daisy’s place being too busy to review in.

The original receipt comes from ‘De Vliegende Paard Brouwers’ (Oedelem) but is now brewed by De Proefbrouwerij (Lochristi). Anyway the beer poured a very dark brown colour (almost black) with some ruby hints when held up to the light. The head was a well constructed foam covering of beige coloured bubbles.

In the nose, dark chocolate, caramel and fruit cake: theses being the big three in an aroma of great magnitude and complexity.

The taste was also very complex, with flavours coming at you from all angles: malty, chocolate, toffee, coffee, mixed dried fruits (raisins, oranges, etc, etc), pepper and wintery spices. It had a mini-bitter hop edge towards the end of each sip too!

Even though it sounds (from the smells and taste description I’ve given) rich, heavy and full bodied it isn’t: it’s fairly thin for such a complicated beer, not watery but certainly not creamy or rich in any way. The alcohol content is well hidden and sits nicely within the whole experience of drinking this brew.

I stopped into Cambrinus in Brugge on 28SEP11 for a nightcap (or 2!) and saw this on their extensive menu. Coming in 0.33l bottles, at €3.50, it is the winning recipe of a Belgian Homebrew contest held earlier this year.

Poured into a small goblet, it was a deep, dark ruby color. Even held to the light, barely any light could pass through. Head was tan, tight and thin, with a little lacing here and there. Dark fruit and some choco action were noted in the aroma, which was quite inviting. Body was medium-plus, and the feel was chewy smooth.

Slightly sweet at the start, some bitter dark choco also hit the palate. Soon after a medley of dark fruit came into play, with a bit more semi-sweetness. The finish adds a little more choco-bitterness. A lovely bier! Between Cambrinus and 't Brugs Beertje (where it cost €3.75) I had 4 bottles. Likely the best new bier of the trip! Prosit!!
