Strubbe Keyste Double Triple 9.2%, Double Triple [whatever the heck THAT is]....... mahagony/porter color, bright as a polished bell, light/no head...... nose of red ale/cardboard funk with a dose of red wine...... call this an uber-rich red ale with too much alcohol. Lots of character, but some light salad dressing notes, vinaigrette & balsamic hints, tannic notes in the finish. Cries for spinach as a balance.......
Bel Pils (and what the heck is this, anyways?)...... 5.3% Great golden pils color, faint haze..... a stupendous "lightweight" character, exactly what you expect of Belgians doing pils. Page Baltimore Brewing and do a joint Pils project with Brewers Art........
de Regenboog T'Smisje Fiori 7.0% "Speciale ale": hazy amber (isn't that the default, around here?) yeasty nose (after 1/2 hour of arguing beer points with Joe before returning to this..), distinct herbal finish against a very herbal backbone, very nic in the Fraoch/herbal category, but a bit lost against more "normal" beers...............
