Aged Belgian beers - Antwerp

[johnrm]

I wandered into the Most amazing Belgian pub today.
Kulminator in Antwerp.
They have a profound array of beers, the twist is they are aged.
Well worth a visit.

I love that pub. Their selection is ridiculous

If you're in town tomorrow afternoon you should check out den angel on the main square. Not a beer bar but a good pub all the same

Visited the Kulminator earlier this year for first time. It's a unique place for sure. After you've had lunch at den Angel head over to 't Antwaerps Bierhuiske for a great selection of beers. Enjoy!

Maybe its me, but Buffalo Stout is billed as sweet and I was picking up sour.
Maybe my buds were off after a 2011 'avec les bons voeux' or the Triple d'Anvers.
All server in the correct glasses

2011 'avec les bons voeux' or the Triple d'Anvers.

Nice.

Just thinking, johnrm, if you're going to be back in that part of the world again you should probably look in to getting some of this:



It's the special sauce in a lot of Belgian beers and of course readily available in any supermarket / cheap as chips over there, but it's impossible to get the real thing anywhere else.

Is it something similiar to dark liquid candy syrup?

[mr hoppy]

Yep, except it's the exact product that the likes of Rochefort etc. use.

It's nice in BBQ sauce as a sub for molasses as well.

Just wait till the "Seabury Sugar Refinery" is up and running.

My beets are comming along nicely - pics to follow"

Hope the price stays the same.

How much of that stuff would you use in a typical 20L batch?

[mr hoppy]

400 - 800 gs - with the higher end of the range for stronger beers like the one I gave you!

There is a taste of more of it. I went to the off licence Saturday night and found a bottle of chimay red. Nice drop but not up to your one
