Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thick light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of over ripe fruits and dusty hops. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, thx to thewolf. Pours a hazy, orange-brown with lots of floaties of all sizes, from the tinyest small to big chunks. Beige head leaving nice lacings. Malty-sweet flavor with fruityness and some pale malt. Fruity, caramel flavor with some hoppy bitterness and a little spiced touch. Quite dry. Fruity and slightly caramel-sweet finish. Decent beer, but far from impressing. (080301)

Bottled (by Duwac, BBE 09/04...), bought from BelgianShop.com in Jan 2008. Hazy brown colour with big beige fluffy head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is yeast, raisins, some toffee and some notes of mild oxidation (probably due to being this old). Flavour is caramel malts, toffee, yeast and some mild dark dry fruits. No notes of oxidation in the flavour. Dry palate.

(Bottle 75 cl) This version from "Brasserie Duwac" in Mouscron. A beer brewed in celebration of Jacques Brel? Amber coloured with a huge but collapsing head leaving to traces. Flavour of caramel and some candi sugar. But certainly not a great beer. 310799

Hazy dark amber, small off-white head. Dark burnt malty, plums and alcoholic flavor. Roasted malty flavor, chestnuts. Hoppy bitterness and coffee in the finish. Quite alcoholic too for only 6.2% beer.

Huge, very dense head, off-white and very persisting; dull amber beer. Alcohol, caramel - and apple. As caramelised apple in the oven, the cinnamon forgotten. A bit of vanilla instead. Sharp burnt/roasted taste, scorched caramel, Huyghe all over. The apple has been burnt, leaving a bit of acidity besides. Alcoholwarming, medium bodied, creamy, slick, burning sensation. Pff; the Duwac original didn’t gain prices neither.

Bottle, also best before 2002 Murky, brown (or even gray) body. Off-white, small (due to the age (?)) head. Nose of citrus, vinegar. Moderately bitter, heavily acitic initial flavour. Lightly bitter, moderately acitic finish. Warm flavour. Medium to fully bodied. And I still like it in November 2004! :)
