Potteloereke

Brewed by Huisbrouwerij Sint Canarus
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Deinze-Gottem, Belgium

Bottle ( 330ml ). Shared with blankboy via trade with glouglouburp, the renownded Pumkin-hater. Cloudy, very dark brick-red, smallish swirling fizzy/frothy beige head. Rich aroma of raisin, caramel malt, yeast, winter spice, figs .... very very nice - very much like Westmalle Dubbel. Taste - follows, a little thinner, the alcohol comes through a little more - again, Westmalle! Average body, a little burny, spicy and dry, long finish - excellent - thanks, Dany!

Bottle. Pours a mahogany body with a tan 3 finger fluff head. Sweeter candi sugar notes, brown sugar, and a dried fruitiness with hints of spice and apple. A slightly spicy yeast accent with a spritz y carbonation apple and plum y notes.

Draft from Spuyten Duyvil. Poured darkish. Lots of yeast and some fruit. A bit licorice. Ok.

Pours a fizzy, hazy brownish red - aroma of clover honey, a lot of yeasty character, toasted malts, some nutty qualities - full carbonation in the mouth - the flavor lacks character - it’s pretty much just honey and light earthy bitterness - some toasted character and quite a bit of yeastiness - a bit of spiciness and warmth on the back end - kind of chalky in the finish - some caramelized sugars way on the end of the finish - boring, but nice enough.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of malts, hops, dark ripe fruit, yeast, dust, light roasting, light caramel, and a hint of cola. No alcohol aroma that others note. Poured brown/orange in color with a large, fluffy, creamy, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout. Lightly cloudy. Sparkling. Some tiny and large particles throughout. Good to very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, light caramel, slight nuts, hops, light yeast, dried ripe fruits, cocoa, and some oats. Medium body. Dry, chalky, grainy texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter, caramel, yeast, cocoa, and slight vanilla finish is dry and chalky. 8%ABV is totally hidden.

Tap at The Palm Tavern. The beer pours to a nice amber orange body with a white head. The aroma is dark candi sugar and some ripe bananas and light molasses. The flavor has some heavily toasted malts, light strawberry seeds, roasted and pale malts. Honey? The palate is sweet and toasty. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Aroma of fig, plum, apple, pear, pepper, chocolate malt, yeast. Flavor big on the apple and pear notes, pretty yeasty, while lacking on the darker notes and became a bit seltzery. Palate likewise. Ok.

Bottle. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a thick off white head. Aroma of spices, dark malts, fig, and a touch of skunk. Flavor of peppery spices initially followed by light fruits and sweet malt. Very nice, very drinkable. 7/4/7/4/15 (3.7/5)
