(Bottle 25 cl) A three grain beer with juniper is rather unusual, even for Belgium. Very dark, light brownish head. Lots of sweetness but not cloying due to the low alcohol. And the hops are indeed present as well. Strange but very pleasant. 010693

I love juniper so I’m all over this dark juniper ale. I got lost in Ghent trying to find the frickin’ Hopduvel and when I got there I was parched. Why I bought this first I’ll never know but it did the trick. Refreshing herbaceousness, smooth, sweet malt backbone, slightly full and oily body.

Red/brown ale. Strong malt aroma, and light vanilla. Smooth, very nice malt flavour, parfumed and flowery like some draught English ales. Sweet final.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Very dark brown/red, lasting beige head. Toffee and raisiny, sweet. OK but just way too sweet.

Bottle. Brown colour. Some sweet dark fruit. Mouthfeel is stale and sweet, and appears to be slightly oxidised. Light yeastyness.

deep brown colour, original vegetable aroma, sweet and simple flavour, somehow flat aftertaste

Bottle @kookfest, September 2006. Age uncertain but obviously quite old. Darkish brown colour. Intensely sweet. Some figgy fruit. Perhaps there was more to this beer in its youth but, by this stage, there was nothing much but the sweetness left. The juniper and herbs had quite faded away.

Kook’s Farewell Bash. Vintage bottle. Toffee and soaked hops. Quite sweet and buttery.
