Friday 1st Feb 2019; 7th Pre-Brugge Bier Festival International Beer Swap, De Bierboom. This is one of the many bottles that landed on my table for me to try, it is OK to take a decent sized sample (within reason) because there are so many beers to share. Last beer of the night! Rudy, who owns 'De Bierboom' is one of the 'Vier Monniken' (the Four Monks) and he poured my sample from a large bottle. What a lovely nightcap! Almost black in colour, wispy beige head. Boozy and malty with vanilla and chocolate in both the nose and flavour. Some dark fruits in the flavours too, rich and slick body; viscous and very drinkable for such a strong brew.

At Brugs Bierfestival, 4 February 2018. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!
Small sample (10cl) of what remained at the festival. Cloudy dark brown, no head. Aroma of vanilla, nuts, candied fruits, fruit liqueur, spices, bourbon. Tastes medium malty/caramel-like sweet and light to medium herbal/hoppy bitter. Lingering ripe fruits in the deeply alcoholic finish (which, for its ABV, remains relatively hidden). Full body, oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. Gimmicky but worth it.

Thanks to tderoeck, Bierridder_S & Rubin77. Sampled bottled @ Brugs Bier Festival 2018. Very dark brown with zero head. Nose is very oxidized oddly seemingly with leaves, sweet basic chocolate, little brown banana. Obviously alcoholic but not intrusive, that oxidized like flavour with basic chocolate, dark fruits, low leaves, flat, not as thick as expected, simple, that bit odd profile but fun enough to try.
