Bottle sample @ RBBWG 2016, thanks Eric. Ambrée-cuivrée trouble, col fin beige. Arôme met en avant un bouquet brett, le profil Brandy reste plus secondaire avec un léger accompagnement fruits/baies des bois. Palais met de suite en avant le côté alcool, le tout garde une certaine dose aigrelette, de brett? houblonné modéré ajoutant une touche d’amertume avec une levure persistante en fin de bouche avec une rondeur fruité baies. Brandy ajoute un subtil côté de barrique qui n’est pas désagréable mais renforce la nation de chaleur en bouche. Belge de caractère.

0.75 l bottle at RBBWG 2016 in Antwerpen. Minimally hazy, pale golden amber with a white head. Sweetish-sourish, slightly fruity aroma of white grapes, gooseberry, oak and lemon. Sweetish, slightly sourish taste of honey, white grapes, gooseberry and oak, followed by a short, moderately tart finish. Thin to medium body, slightly creamy and spritzy mouthfeel. Nice!

Thank you for sharing jefverstraete! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBWG V. Hazy golden, creamy white. Nose is lightly butter with lots of sweet grains, sugar, malts, sugary thick malts, low plastic. Taste is fizzy esters, honey, candy dough, sugar, sweet warming, touch boozy, oxidized, honey, warming, caramel, solid. Quite boozy, sugary & malty body. Very monolithic, could use more complexity. Good ‘though but not exceptional, decent Belgian.

Bottle at WWT tasting. Slight hazy golden with nice white head. Lots of Brett on the nose. Yoghurt, hay, very funky, light nuts, pineapple, cider-like notes, quite herbal too towards the finish. Very light sweet with a nice light tartness throughout. Medium bodied. Has a lot of Orval similarities, but with some rougher edges. Very nice.

Un petit quelque chose de spécial pour mon 300e rating! Bouteille 750ml. Couleur orangée translucide, mousse blanche dense laissant une belle dentelle. Arôme de vanille, pomme, brett, alcool léger, boisé. Goût de pomme, alcool, légère acidité, légère amertume en fin de bouche, boisé en arrière-goût. Carbonation faible, corps moyen-dense.

Bottle - The apples come through with the barrels and the typical brett smells. Cloudy orange with a good white head. Apple, apricot, oak, brett and some grape. Acidity and a bit of burn. An interesting beer but not as good as some of their others I have had the pleasure to try.
