75cl at Delirium, holy damn rust on the cap, no BB date, but assume it to be around the dates of other ratings, circa 2006. Bottle #? /1400. Ambrée, col beige. Arôme garde ce profile vieille levure, caramel léger, garde un léger bouquet fleuri/houblonné avec un léger malté grillé/cara qui prend un peu le dessus. En bouche, profile démontre que la bière a déjà qcq années mais porte en mémoire une version plus ancienne de la Rulles Brune? Axée sur la malt avec des notes de cara et grillé le tout sur un houblon restant présent en amertume. Fini présente e côté vieux grains pour une fin de bouche sèche. En l’état même avec l’age, reste bien convenable, fraîche aurait étét un tantinet plus haut.

Bottle, 7.2%. OK sweet, malty aroma. Muddy orange colour. Big, stable light brown head. Sweetish flavour with some citric notes. Good, but I had hoped for more from Rulles.

Bottle at the Düsseldorf Gathering. Hazy, ambery body. Off-white head. Aroma of caramel, hops, ... Not very complex flavour. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Had expected more from this La Rulles beer.

Yellowish, dense head over mossy-amber beer. Nice, lightly Bretty-lactic nose, fruity as from a lambic-based fruit beer (which it is neither!). Dry-leafy, earthy flavours. Chestnut flour, wild mushrooms. Unfortunately, all a bit subdued. Medium bodied, a bit tart aftertaste. Nice, as expected from Gregory. Still, just a little more punch behind would have made it great.
