Ronde et gourmande, la Piste Noire est une bière qui vous surprendra par son amertume discrète et son corps puissant. Ses notes de céréales légèrement torréfiées et de caramel sont un enchantement pour le palais. Sa robe ambrée, sa mousse généreuse et son corps malté transformeront une simple dégustation en un délicieux moment de bonheur vrai. Le nez développe cette force maltée et préserve la subtilité de ses arômes.

27/02/2011 - 50cl bottle @ home - BB: 1/12/11 (2011-73) Thanks to Klaas for the bottle!

Clear amber to copper red beer, off-white soft head, little adhesive. Very faint aroma, some caramel, some hops. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: caramel, herbal and vegetables, a little fruity, even towards exotic fruits (pineapple). Aftertaste: little hop bitter, some citrus. In all a pretty faint beer, more like a "Piste Verte", one for beginners.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Crisp with a slighly sour undertone. Malty, refreshing, not bitter. Alright.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!). Poured a dark amber, brown/orange body with a medium sized slightly off white head. Brown sugar and banana in the nose. The taste starts of sweet, malty, orange and caramel, sticky, maybe banana again, and comes into a sudden halt when the light but crude and kinda unpleasant dry (hoppy) bitterness shows up in the aftertaste, ruining a lot. Ok, but nothing special overall I guess.

Bottle, picked up from the Dodgy Deli (Classic Deli) Cowley Rd, Oxford 09-02-07 for 50p a bottle. Amber in colour, this may actually have tasted quite nice and could have tasted a little better were it not for the fact that there were quite a few floaters milling around. Nice fruitiness backed up with some caramel and yeasty notes although that wasn’t surprising as there was quite a bit of this stuff kicking around, I must try this again as appeared quite an interesting beer slightly ruined by too many floatees.

Bottle. Vinous aroma, a little yeasty. Amber colour, very small head. Sweet and malty flavour. Bonbon aftertaste. Aroma and flavour have a slight sourness which does not quite balance it, but it begins to. Aftertaste gets quite yeasty as the beer warms.

Bottled (BBE 01/2007)
Clear amber color, small white head. Sour aroma with oak, malts and grapefruit. Woody hoppy, notes of caramel, sweetish malty backbone. Caramel and color puts this close to so called Bière de Garde -style, but is not so fruity than many pure examples of the style.
