t Smisje Speciaal

Bottle at home ... amber ... white foam head ... bready orangy nose ... caramalised sugers ... some yeast ... little toffee... syrupy ... little pepperyness ... sugery ...some citrus peel ...ok

Bottle labeled as Speciaal Halloween. Pours a lightly hazy, rusty amber hue. Copious streams of effervescing bubbles screech towards the surface, feeding a steady head of smooth, taupe colored foam. Clingy foam tries to hold fast on the glass, but fails, returning to the body. Aromas are sweet, driven by golden raisin and stewed nectarines, with perhaps a bit of caramelized, condensed peaches. Flavors are also heavy, sweet, and dessert like, mostly showing condensed, dried fruit like raisin, fig, and plum. The body is big and syrupy, yet lively carbonated and somewhat prickly. Eh, this one is just a sugar bomb. It’s decent in very small quantities, but i won’t be clamoring for more any time soon.

Orange with a big white head. Aroma of yeast with a hint of citrus. Very sweet, yeasty flavour

bottle at Delirium in Brussels - Pours hazy straw colored with a thin white head. The flavor is sweet with caramel and lots of spice. It’s bubbly on the palate and has some light hops bitterness in the finish. The high abv is mostly buried. It’s alright though I was hoping for a bit more.

Cloudy orange beer with a thin head that within seconds has gone, aroma is initially sweet, caramelly and alcoholic but with an edge to it (fruit?) that i like. Taste is sweet, malty and apple-y.....a cracker.

Amber body with slight head. Sweet and malty nose. Taste of apples, caramel and malts. Quite spicy and yummy. Another good Smisje.
