Het Kapittel Watou Abt

Brewed by Van Eecke
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Poperinge-Watou, Belgium

Bottled. Poured into my tulip and admired the opaque light orange color with a nice thin but staying film of light airy foam. Just the faintest aroma of orange mist. Wow, such a nice tight bitter orange flavor here, stingingly acidic, but still well rounded and fruity. This is what Belgian beer is all about. To think I used to not like stuff like this. Wonderful.

Bottle at Gollem. Orangy. Smells sweet. Roasty, wheaty. Numbing, quite strong alcohol. Silky finish.

Hazy orange with a tight white head. Aroma is somewhat sour with a bit of apple, but otherwise rather faint. Taste is mostly dry and woody or metallic. $3.75

Bottle, 10% as Het Kapittel Tripel. Fruity clove aroma with some hops to it. Hazy dark golden colour. Nice, big, stable white head. The flavour is a bit sweet with good flavour hops and some bitterness. Also a bit of clove and some pepper. Quite well-balanced.

Bottle, 330 ml. Muddy amber coloration. Excellent aroma. Complex. Notes of caramel, honey, metallic, toasted malt and very discrete orange. Good cream. High carbonation. Perceivable bitter taste, bothering me. On the other hand, it has not a perceivable alcohol. Weak points: accented carbonation and bitter taste.

Bottle from Beer Circus, Croyden. Bright amber with no head, but beautiful nonetheless. Sweet yeasty aroma. Taste of honey and orange with a salty finish and bitter edge. Full, syrupy body. I really liked it.

Muddy coloration very pretty orange. Cream dense, consistent, persistent and very lightly orange. Aroma of malt and spices. I felt a light suggestion of oregano. Very complex in the palate, following the aroma. Ideal carbonation and alcoholic level. The texture is licorous, dense, delicious. The end is soft and pleasant. Without a doubt, a great beer............................................PO Coloração turva laranja muito linda. Creme denso, consistente, muito persistente e levemente alaranjado. Aroma de malte e especiarias. Senti uma leve sugestão de orégano. Muito complexa no paladar, acompanhando o aroma. Carbonatação ideal. Álcool inserido na medida. A textura é licorosa, densa, deliciosa. O final é suave e agradável. Sem dúvida, uma grande cerveja.

Light golden orange colour with fizzy head. Pleasant yeasty aroma. Smooth drinking middle mouthfeel. Seems like a discount on the 10% abv. Good Belgium with fruit, some bannana and peach and spice and pepper melange. Mild citrus.
