Special Brew is a deep amber beer that pours with a thick, white and creamy head. The aroma is initially sour, from the Rodenbach yeast no doubt, before giving way to more fruit especially apples. You get hops, almost-burnt caramel, biscuit (speculoos?) on the tongue before mandarin oranges join the party, very rich and full bodied. A long dry finish, but also sweet and creamy.
The draft version is a lot more lively and the taste is much fresher than in the bottle. More fruit and hops but less caramel and sour yeast. I hope that this is brewed again as I would love to try this version again. And again! ABV 10%

Served from the bottle in 't Brugs Beertje paired glass.

Poured with minimal carbonation, half cm head, deep amber appearance.

Crisp, sharp taste with a slightly sour aftertaste.

Refreshing, worth a try. Obviously have to respect the exclusiveness of the beer.
