Third bottle of Kombine. Braupakt was super (especially on draft) so there are high hopes for Kombine. Fluffy head on a orange, hazy (unfiltered) body. Head retention isn't the best, but the lace is good. Yeasty, bready orange notes on the nose and...
Lucked on a bottle of this in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. Very happy to come across it, this is why I go into just about every beer store that I ever pass. This was barreled for 3 years and then blended with fresh Abt 12 and bottled in 2019....
When I first heard about this beer I was excited. How could one not be? A collaboration between these two? It has to be great, right? Right?? Of course, I've seen enough collaborations between two high-powered, well-respected breweries to know that...
Bottle No: 1845 (out of 11,000) Never thought I would get a chance to try this, as very little probably made it to the USA and it sold out online pretty quickly too. This is not a gentle Tripel. It's aggressive, and has a drying, warming feel about...
Had this many times prior to today. Pale lemon body with some chill haze. Nice head, well retained and fluffy. Good lace. Nose offers a surprising citrus hoppy note. Tastes follow suit with a pleasing, rounded creaminess that I just wasn't...
750 mL bottle. That distinct, dirty brown pour that I’m used to. Decent head especially considering the ABV. The best part of the appearance of the beer is thin, creamy film that persists throughout the drink. A little lace too. Alcohol feels a...
I originally drank this at the Brick Store on draught. This review is mainly from my experience with the 750 mL corked & caged bottle, with a nod to that original draught offering as well. This beer was brewed to commemorate the opening of the...
$8.99 at Brawley's, Charlotte, NA, USA. Corked & Caged 750 mL. Since this said "Flanders Ale" on the bottle, I was wondering if this was going to be a Flemish Sour/Red style - Mike put me right. Poured into the Duvel tulip (seemed appropriate), the...
$6.99, Tower on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into the Abbaye du Val Dieu chalice. Mid brown/orange body with plenty of carbonation. Slight murkiness. Lots of fine bubbles form a thin film on the surface and the lace is very labile. Dark grape...
Notes added 01/21/22 33 cl bottle (pictured) imported from Belgian Happiness. Still that relatively unattractive color, although this bottle has a little more chestnut and less of the Dubbel dirty brown. A lot less prickly than the 750 mL...
Corked & caged in the commemorative tin, $10.99 Green's, Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA, USA. Huge billowing, fluffy head with tons of lace. Great pour. A little drab on the color side of things, a dark brown with a little haze and cloudiness....
Additional notes and pictured from 06/04/23 Wow, my notes below are pretty scathing from almost exactly 18 years ago! I still don't think this beer is a great example of the style, and I still don't really love it, but it's better than that first...
Additional notes 04/15/23 (pictured): Best Before 08 07 23 - Honestly, head isn't great. This always feels to me like a cross between a Dubbel and something more. I'm not a huge fan of Dubbels in general, but this one bites less so there must be...
Poured into the St. Bernardus Chalice with a mid-dark brown body, a fantastic looking half-inch creamy, dense head with excellent lacing that fades to a stout-like, spotty and creamy film. Carbonation is very nice with miniscule bubbles making up...
Picture from 04/15/23 Pierre Celis Signature Edition 12/22/07: 4.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.0, 4.0 B+ 4 Deliberately added as a new entry to the BA database to reflect the Pierre Celis Signature Edition for the Wit. 750 mL, corked & caged. $8.99 Arbor...
Pictured 04/15/23 Notes added 08/07/21 Best Before 04/10/21. Dubbels are what they are for me. Considering the notes below, these days I get a lot less alcohol from Prior 8 than I apparently used to. The bread malt of course is still the dominant...
Pictured 04/15/23 Notes added 06/29/2021 Looking back on the initial review, it's odd that the color was described that way in 2014. The latest bottle (and I've had this countless times), gives a lovely, typically golden body underneath that...
Additional notes: 08/06 19/01/11. $3.29. Original Review 07/01/04 $2.99 Greens Beverage, Atlanta, GA, USA July 1st 2004, First day of higher ABV beers being legally sold in GA! I often fail to pick up and identify fruity aromas in general, but with...
