Grape Ale IX noir (6.5%) brewed by Gooische Brouwerij in Hilversum (the Netherlands).
This 9th grape ale of my favourite Dutch brewery is made with cabernet noir grapes and roasted malts. The result is something quite different and absolutely divine: a tasty dark beer with notes of red wine, chocolate and grains.

Oude Geuze (6%) brewed and blended by Brouwerij Kestemont in Dilbeek (Belgium).
A tasty blend of different years of Kestemont lambic aged on oak barrels. Very mild acidity and a subtle hint of wood. Easy drinking and very enjoyable!

Duvel Imperial Blond (10%) brewed by Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat in Puurs (Belgium). They have started experimenting with the classic Duvel beer and brought out this delicious brewmasters' selection. Darker in colour and stronger than the classic. The beer has a lot of malty and alcohol sweetness and less bitterness due to a different hop balance, giving it the feel of a triple. A surprising choice to go for a stronger beer in these times where lower and non-alcoholic beers seems to be the norm for new beers. Big like for this beer though!👍

Yesterday I attended a very special dinner hosted by #BelMundo, #Fermenthings and Beer with me: a vintage #beerpairing with vegan dishes. Location: BelMundo, formerly the home of lambic brewery Belle-Vue.
The dishes were freaking amazing so I had to share some photos. The beers were special indeed, some of them really old. In the photos the main dishes with the beers and the very proud chef.
- Carpaccio of celeriac and leek paired with Belle-Vue Sélection Lambic 1992
-Tempeh & butternut squash purée
Paired with Callewaert Judas Oud Bruin 1985
- Seitan carbonnades flamandes with Liefmans #Goudenband 2012, fermented fries paired with Liefmans Goudenband 1973 (!!!!)
- Chocolate cake with Whitbread Stout 1974 paired with De Dolle Oerbier 1991

Saison village (5.5%) brewed by Brasserie Silly in Silly (Belgium).
A tasty organic saison: full bodied and malty with a hint of citrus, a yeasty aroma and a long and dry finish.

Leignon blonde (5.9%) brewed by Brasserie Leignon at Leignon Castle in Ciney ( Belgium).
A blonde beer made with four types of grains (barley, wheat, spelt and oats). On pouring the beer immediately had a lot of pieces of yeast floating around which was not great. The beer had a grainy taste and quite a lot of (unintended?) brett.

Speciale Belge (5.5%) brewed by Ardennes Brewery in Geneva, New York (usa). A tasty amber ale in a very traditional Belgian beer style. Light in alcohol but rich in flavour from the slightly roasted and caramel malts Yum!
Thanks at @breweryardennes for the beers! I also absolutely love the label with French bulldog Barley.

Duvel barrel aged n.10 Mexican Edicion (12%) brewed and aged by Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat in Puurs (Belgium).
For the tenth edition of the Duvel barrel aging project the brewery used Mexican agave spirit (tequila) barrels.
The result is an even stronger Duvel with a sweet and alcoholic aroma, and notes of wood, vanilla and caramel in the taste. A beer to sip and enjoy slowly.

Tervoerke IPA (5.1%) brewed for Tervoerke in Tervuren at Brouwerij Craywinckelhof in Lubbeek (Belgium).
This IPA was brewed with barley malt and wheat, giving it a pale and hazy appearance. It has a solid malty body with a nice fruity hoppiness and quite a bitter mouth feel.
