![[BELGIUM 🇧🇪 TRAVELS / 16 - Kulminator]
"What do you want?"
"Hi! I'm from Italy and I'd like to taste a beer here with you!"
🔔This was, like those who have already lived this experience knows, the initial dialogue after ringing the bell at the Kulminator in Antwerp.
👑The place is legendary. I don't know how to dare a different definition. To enter you have to ask for "permission".
🗝I am welcomed by the owner who from ‘80 manage this place with her husband.
🏠It's almost as if I walk into her house, or so it seems to me.
🪑I take a seat in the small patio of the internal courtyard where there is the only customer besides myself.
🍺 After a while the lady comes back showing me the blackboard with the proposals on tap. But I was come here to drink something "vintage" so I asked her what she can offer me. She brings me the "notebook" with lists of bottles that are also over 30 years old.
👨🏻🦳I order a 1987 @dedollebrouwers Oerbier, very proud of my choice! You read that right. 34 years old!
🍷It’s served to me in an excellent way and I calmly start enjoying it.
🟤The beer has a nice head but is practically flat. The color seems to me the same as always, although perhaps it has less reddish reflections.
👃I have never tasted this beer in the previous version which had Rodenbach yeast) and I think it is different… but I don't know how much the time has also affected.
👅The classic intense and seductive sweet notes of Oerbier are always recognizable (notes of candied sugar and fruit in alcohol) but they seemed a bit muted and blended with more vigorous notes of wood and barrel.
😱It seems incredible to me to drink a product that old and is so fit. I try to pinch myself: I'm awake, I'm not dreaming.
📚 I exchange a little dialogue with the other customer who like me, in religious silence, enjoys a few pages of reading while sipping - in his case - a lambic.
🔝I think this is the highlight of my trip, as well as the last beer stop before my long return. It is a moment of pure magic and in some ways of contact with the transcendent. I advise everyone to do it and enter with a lot of humility. It will surprise u!](https://mybeerpassion.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
