Bruegel

A chalky, cocoa-laced, diacetyl, slightly smokey aroma with a bitter-style malt current. Nice label, very clear rosy brownish beer with a thinnish lacy head. Moderately sweet, fairly tart without fruitiness, latent bittering, some astringency. Lingering astringent bitterness in the finish. Medium to medium-light body. Session.

kind of disappointing. Aroma was offensive (sour). poured an amber hue with a mild white head. This beer was really thin. flavor initally was sour too, but afterwards had a bubblegum/banana like aspect to it. it was not enough to save this beer. Im glad i only had one.

Bottle rating. Golden in color, thin white head. Aroma is a little offensive, diacetyl, buttery, combined with a medicinal quality. However, I don’t get that in the taste luckily. But, there isn’t a lot of flavor other than soapy and a slight belgianesque type carbonation. Pretty thin, but I wasn’t expecting much.

Another vintage rate from London’s Belgian Beer Festival 2005. Cask. Clear amber in colour (with a specific hue noted: sunset orange) with small white head. Yeasty nose with notes of fruit, bread and carrot cake. Nice taste of raisins, bread and gin? Really, gin? I can’t quite make out what it says, but I think it’s gin. Nevermind. Slightly metallic, creamy finish. All in all fairly good.

bottle. pours golden with a medium off white head, and lively carbonation. The aroma was something on this that I was not expecting, was either coffee, or a butterscotch, and it was heavy, possible diacetyl? not sure. Taste however was a bit more tart with some grainy and butterscotch flavors pushed towards the back of the beer. weird.

Bonus from Piscator34. Copper with a nice frothy head and delicate lacing. Bit of a weird aroma. A bit of nutmeg or pepper, malt and something a little sour and sharp. Body comes of a little thin. Has to be drunk relatively warm. Intriguing combination of brown sugar and sourness hinted at in the aroma.

Bought this in a Flanders, Belgium 6pk. ( global beer network promotion) Amber color, white fizzy head. Slight malt, a little breadyish. This is one of the better ones in the pack.

Medium brown, decent head. Slightly dusty and fruity aroma. Flavor is strange, bit of fruit, but then this weird, dusty bitterness. Frankly, I didn’t like this at all.
