75cl from Carrefour, Calais. I really must stop doing this to myself. I’ve had just about everything but the ciders in Carrefour, so when I was in there last week, I found myself looking at the beers,that although I hadn’t had I thought that I should buy to try. I should have bought six bottles of Gayant la Goudale. This is chestnut colour with bubbly white head. Bit of rubbery malt aroma. Some hop. Quite nice fruitymalt in mouth. Bit hollow. Nice finish with some herby hop on end. Some candy sugar. Quite likeable. If a little dull in mouth. Spice/herb is good.

Clean amber color. Simple aroma, some bread, very light smokey. Very simple taste, very poor malt and nothing else.

(Bottle 75 cl) 7,2% ABV in my version. The French have this thing about whisky beers, don’t know exactly where they got that idea. Amber coloured with a handsome, lacing head. Soft and aromatic and sweet. Less smoked than others in the same style. A bit treacherous - you don’t sense the alcohol at all. Really looks like a cheap bottle of Scotch. 071103

0.33l bottle (I think) Clear bottle - skunky aroma, but thankfully, the flavor wasn’t that affected. I think that this is underrated, but not that much. Tastes sweet, but not too much, it’s honeyish and malty, but not like a whiskey. It was quite pleasant, which quite suprised me. Tasted far more like a good red, than like a smoked. But there wasn’t much of a taste, almost no aftertaste, and it was skunky, so I have to lower the score. Probably found a good (even if it was a bit skunky) bottle. Oh, right, it also hides the alcohol quite well.

[At Fete de la Biere 2004, Lausanne] A light brown beer with no head. The aroma is faint - what is there is of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey and malt.

Bottled. Amber colour, no head. Syrupy nose with some smokiness. Extremely sweet. The sugar dominates to the point that all in the way of malt and smoke flavours are killed and covered in thick layers of syrup. I'll never be able to finish a 75cl bottle of this...

Light chestnut color. Light whisky in the nose, but lacking in much else. Lagerish, with a vague hint of the whisky. Not cloying like MacGregor, but just as bland.
