Nice rich malty aroma. Full flavored, but light and almost refreshing at the same time. Finishes with a moderate dark malt flavor with a hint of hops.

Brasserie Lefebvre Hopus
No real aroma. Nice full flavored mild malt with a hint of sweetness. Finishes with a nice moderate flavor with hints of hops. Pretty decent, but not too much to get excited about.

Brewery Dilewyns Vicaris Generaal
Moderate sweet smell. Moderate even sweet taste with a hint of hops and fruit. A bit of carbonation then fades off from sweetness.

St. Benedictus Abbey Achel Bruin
Moderate sweet smell. Very sweet taste with a slight hint of hop bite, but quickly overtaken by a fruit sweetness. Taste kind of wrestles between those 2 flavors for a while, neither one really losing. A confusion of sweet and dry.
More red in color than my phone gives it credit for.

John Martin Douglas Celtic Cider
Practically no aroma. Taste is a full mouthful of sweetness, but not overwhelming or too sweet. Almost tastes exactly like biting into a delicious apple. The only giveaway that it’s not is a slightly sweet aftertaste. At which point it switches over to kind of tasting like a nice dry apple cider. Hmmm, I wonder if that’s why they call it cider…

Guinness
No aroma- the thick frothy head probably acts like an odor barrier. Maybe faint sweet hints of smell. Hits palette pretty evenly without a real strong flavor other than a moderate malt taste. Finishes creamy smooth then a dark malt taste sneaks in and proceeds to fade out slowly, then left with no taste.
Had on tap in Irish pub in Belgium. Seemed to have proper/good nitro dispensing for a nice pour, but no carbonation.

Poperings Hommelbier
Sweet smell, actually smelled a bit like milk. Then has that typical Belgian yeast flavor, with hints of IPA-like hops in the background. Finishes with a light grain flavor. So all in all, kind of like a mild “milk IPA”…

Hoegaarden
Nice light aroma. Fresh taste that leaves you with a mouth watery effect. Fresh and light. Mild to no aftertaste.

Corsendonk Bruin
No aroma. If you sniff really hard, you maybe get a light fruity smell like strawberries. Very smooth, almost tasteless. Then a faint malty sweetness sneaks into the aftertaste. Pretty good, hard to find anything to complain about, but likewise hard to find something to get excited about, too.

Epic Imperial IPA Exponential Series
Release #16. Nice sweet aroma. Sweet hoppy aroma that finishes sweetly. A bit too sweet overall.
