De Proefbrouwerij Krak

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Lochristi, Belgium

33cl, exclusive brew, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, not balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

Huge, slightly yellow-tinted fluffy head, over faintly hazed, well-carbonated golden beer with an orange sheen. Nose as from a dry, white wine, slightly spiced (dry ginger powder-like), faintly buttery, green leaves. Toasted & spiced flavours, mild sweetness. Bit of caramel and again dry root spices; I seem to get banana ester and butter retronasal. Bit burning MF, quite carbonated and reasonably attenuated, dry-ish. Spiced tripel-like; though I suspect most of the flavours are yeast-induced. The buttery flavour is strange, and it isn’t diacetyl.
