Boelens Baudeloo Abdij Bruin

Brewed by Boelens
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Belsele, Belgium

Slightly aged sample - BBd + 6 months Gushing to fully flunky brown beer with olive shine and huge dirty-yellow head upheld by continuous carbonation. Sourish-phenolic nose, sulphury, cypress and laurel (bay leaf), berries, gooseberry. Quite sour taste, lactic and other organic acids. Pediococcus? In the depth dark and sweetish malts. Brown sugar too - the aroma, not the sweetness. Light body, allegedly partly by the acids, and slick, ’cobwebby’ feeling from the yeastload. I know sh*t of it, but Mr. Boelens, your beer has a yeast infection.

Cloudy brown beer with a big disappearing head. the aroma is yeast, a bit of brown sugar and it is also a bit sour. The taste is sweet with a mild sourness and the finish is light bitter.
