yesterday and today i'm having some "Cornet" (oaked)

A strong blonde. Bit bitter, not bad.

In the words of other people who can describe tastes better than i can:

"CORNET is a strong blond Belgian beer that has a subtle, willful and sophisticated wood flavour with a note of vanilla and a "velvety" mouth feel that rivals that of an oak-matured wine.
The well rounded, oaked beer balances the fruitiness of the yeast and the sweet vanilla notes of the wood, leaving a warming feeling in the finish along with a smooth bitterness. Top-fermented beer with refermentation in the bottle.

The beer is named after Theodoor Cornet who, according to the census of 1686, was innkeeper, brewer and distiller of the "DE HOORN" inn in Steenhuffel. He was also a steward of the Count of Maldeghem-Steenhuffel, lord of Diepensteyn. At the count's request, Theodoor brewed a stock beer. This exclusive beer was kept in oak barrels in the cellars of Diepensteyn Castle. This inspired the brewers and the wood master for the creation of CORNET."

Tastes like cat's piss. I'll probably have two glasses to justify paying twelve bucks and pour the rest down the sink.

No. Just one glass and the rest went in the compost bin. Back to my Yellowtail Pinot Noir.
