Apart of going to a beer tasting this weekend with (I believe) 5 beers at De Groote Weiver in Wormerveer, I tried quite some beers over the last couple of weeks. I’ll share some short notes. All beers are from the De Molen brewery. I did some posts on them before. This should give you an idea of the sheer range of beers they produce (1, 2, 3) :

Donder & Bliksem – De Molen
More in the line of a regular beer. Crisp and fruity, with a little sharp edge. Quite some hops but for some reason a little boring.

Bed & Breakfast – De Molen
A coffee ale. The colour is nice and orange. The scent and flavour are coffee and beer. It works in some stouts, but this is like you didn’t rinse your cup after having coffee from it this morning. Quite acidic but a very strange combination of tastes. Cold coffee…

Stout & Hop – De Molen
Quite light stout, with a grainy soft flavour. The scent is rather hoppy, especially for a stout. All in all, exactly as the description, but not much more than that. Nice beer though.

VYXXM – De Molen
Bitter and a dark roasted flavour. Chocolate, coffee, thee, cereal, malt. A lot going on! The bitterness is almost perfect and really supports all the other flavours.

Mooi & Meedogenloos – De Molen
Dark with coffee and chocolate. Sweet burnt malt, and not too sharp. Getting crisp and has a sensation of being carbonized. Not too exciting.

Again, some pretty good ones, and some minor ones. I’m still not through their entire range of beers but love to get there eventually.
