Straffe Hendrik Brugs Tripel 33 cl

I am really regretting not visiting this brewery when I was in Bruges. The brewery makes three beers: Brugse Zot, Straffe Hendrik Tripel and Straffe Hendrik Quad. I have had the Zot, so I just need to buy the Tripel now. As for the quad, this must be one of the lightest quads I have […]

Brugse Zot Dubbel

This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick brown colour, with two chubby fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy beige head, which leaves a bit of thickly sudsy forest canopy lace around the glass as it very slowly sinks away.

Small cap of tan foam lingers for a good duration on top. Smell – dark chocolate and some surprisingly cherry aroma too to add some complexity. Some mild […]

Anchor Steam

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, this brew’s head is three fingers thick and tawny, with webbed lacing, and a slightly murky brownish copper body. I smell plenty of bread, or dare I say sourdough, malts alongside a slightly apple-y and copper scent near the end. Which I’ll assume is accredited to the […]

American Dream

Pours a murky honey orange with a foamy bone head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. A foamy lattice of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, earth, pine needle, and citrus zest aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, earth, and floral […]
