Bottle at home. Pours deep copper with long lasting off-white head. Nose is yeasty, grainy with a touch of sweet booze. Taste is basically the same with medium, sweet and boozy finish. Light bodied with soft to average carbo, drinks well below the abv. Nothing outstanding, but certainly something pleasant and interesting.

Bottle at home. Aroma of sweet red fruits, toffee, apple juice, malt, berries, yeast, alcohol. Flavour is medium sweet with a hint of sourness. A bit sticky and slightly boozy. Body is medium to full. Nothing special, but not bad either.

J'ai été très surpris en dégustant cette Barbe Rufa. Alors que j'attendais une bière avec un alcool structurant et puissant, c'est une bière avec un alcool relativement peu présent et avec une légère acidité qui déstabilise l'ensemble. La proposition aromatique est quant à elle plutôt intéressante, changeant des stéréotypes, même si celle-ci ne m'a pas entièrement convaincue. Le visuel est sur un mix en ambré et brun, voilé avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse beige de 1 cm. Le nez surprend pour le style mais est relativement riche sur des arômes de sirop d'érable, pomme, vin cuit, noix et vanille. En bouche, c'est l'acidité qui surprend. Celle-ci empêche la bière d'avoir de la puissance et de laisser s'exprimer les arômes. Dès l'attaque, l'alcool est relativement absent, loin d'un ressenti à 8 %. On retrouve les arômes présents au nez sur une complexité honorable. Et si la corpulence est honorable, la longueur n'est pas assez développée. Une bière qui n'exploite pas assez son potentiel à mon sens.

0,332 bottle. Különleges szín, szűretlen, kicsit zavaros, habja gyönyörű, piszkos-barnás fehér. Illata búzás- citromos, picit élesztős. Erősen citromos, savanykás íz, mellette némi karamellel, és búzás jegyekkel. Érdekes. Gyengén szénsavas. Lecsengésben már érezni az erős-belgás-kandis cukros-alkoholosságot. A közepesnél erősebb test mentette meg a rosszabb ponttól :)

Special color, unfiltered, slightly cloudy, head is beautiful, dirty-brownish white. Smell of wheat - lemon, slightly yeasty. Strongly lemon, sour taste, with some caramel next to it, and wheat notes. Interesting. Weakly carbonated. You can already feel the strong-Belgian-candy sugar-alcoholism in the ring. A stronger than average body saved me from a worse point :)

0.33l bottle. Amber body with a thin pearl head. Aroma of dark sugar syrup, ripe banana, toast and figs. It even has some booze to it, but not disturbing. Taste of orange zest, dark sugar, figs,raisins and toast. Good one.

Hazy amber colour, moderate sized beige-ish head; aroma and taste of dried cherry, so.e cocoa and malty-caramel sweetness; great Belgian strong ale! Many thanks for sharing, kapusil!

Shared 330 ml bottle. ABV 8.0%. Reddish amber colour, off-white head. Moderate aroma of brown kandij sugar syrup, caramel and mild spices. The flavour is not very sweet, but has some of the same elements as the aroma. Very moderate hops.

Flaske fra Belgisk Bryg, delt med skipsrederen og seremonimesteren 02.12.18 (juleverksted på Fridtjofen): klar rødgylden med godt skum der varer. Røde bær, molasse, marcipan og et par søde kirsebær. Mild bitterhed og halvtør afslutning. Lang eftersmag.
