Nov 12, 2006 [Eigen brouwsel van de wijnhandelaar. Alternative jule-brew to Vinens Verden, rød kapsel]
A good deal for Vinens Verden to get these two beers from De Ranke.
Indeed this beer is not my favorite. It has this special yeasty taste, which dominates the brew too much. Maybe it’s a question about tasting som more beers with the same taste and then the quality will appear.

Bottle from Christmas 2005
Pours a slightly hazy but luminescent amber body with a full ivory cap of head. The aroma is dry, fruity and rustic. The yeast is raw, woodsy, and faintly biscuity. The hops are present in the taste moreso than the aroma. Some cedar woodchip spicyness, some black peppercorns, and as the description says “a cellar aroma” yeah… I do get that, but in the flavor… it’s musty and funky… kind of like old papers that have been in a box in the cellar… like oxidation but not… Make any sense? There is a placid sweetness in the finish that is masked by that “cellar” thing… I suspect it’s yeast and hops combination? Anyhow… a profoundly complex straightforwardness all blended together made for a grand drinking experience!

Sep 23, 2006 2004 – Clear amber body, thick off-white head; Quite big nose, it has both depth and complexity but could have more of both, lots of soft and sharp spicy aromas: anis, sweet chili, fresh bay leaf, fresh thyme, but also ripe sweet tomato, orange peel and chestnut; The body is a bit watery textured, has a sharp carbonation and is a bit bitter; It finishes of with a harshness that lasts quite long, but has only very little aroma. Maybe this beer should only be drunk very young? This one seriously lacks balance between nose and body.
