750 ml corked & caged bottle, from Seven Cellars. ABV is 10%. Slightly hazy deep golden to light amber colour, large white head. Aroma of oxidised old jam, Belgian ale yeast, white kandij sugar syrup and mild spices. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, the alcohol is noticeable. Moderate hops in the finish.

0.75 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', bottled in 2018, cellared for almost two years. A little hazy, deep amber with a large, foamy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, gently yeasty-spicy and minimally fruity aroma of caramel, clove, light honey, cereals and hints of apricot. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, quite yeasty-spicy, a little fruity-floral taste of caramel, clove, cereals, some honey and hints of apricot, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy, rather dry and a bit metallic finish. Medium to full body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Pleasant beer, not overly sophisticated or deep, especially for a 10% abv beer, but well-drinkable. Has some Bière de Garde characteristics, not really Saison-ish. Fits well into the solid but not very impressive range of beers from De Blaugies, only La Vermontoise has really managed to convinced me.

Bottle shared in Watford - cheers to Dan. Pours orange-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Medium sweet flavour, has an odd lightly tart citric note, mild yeast, wheat flakes. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming, sweet, lightly tangy. Interesting.

Si on en vient directement à la conclusion, cette Moneuse triple X démontre qu'une bière ne se bonifie pas systématiquement avec le degré d'alcool. Et ici, si nous retrouvons les arômes très appréciables de la Moneuse classique, on y perd en fraîcheur et légèreté avec l'alcool et le sucre qui a été ajouté pour le contrebalancer. En verre nous sommes sur un blond orangé voilé, une fine effervescence avec une mousse blanc cassé de 2 cm. Petit gushing à l'ouverture. Joli nez sur les céréales, la banane, l'abricot, le citron et la coriandre. L'attaque, légèrement acidulée, montre un alcool bien présent avec pèche, banane, miel, miel, citron, poivre et coriandre. Le tout avec une touche d'astringence. La douceur et l'alcool sont d'ailleurs plus prononcés en seconde bouche. L'arrière bouche et le final sont heureusement plus aériens. L'alcool supplémentaire ne sert ici à rien et dessert même cette Moneuse qui devient moins racée et poétique.

Bottle shared at the castlegate share. It pours lightly hazy orangey with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is bready, floury, cereal, spicy, pear, melon, citrus peel and nut. The taste is dry, toasty, grainy, melon, apple, minerality, spice, rivita, bready, sponge cake, dried orange peel, earthy, tannin and nut with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not too shabby.

Bottle, thanks for bringing it along Fin&Loz! Light grey golden, off-white grey foam. Fermented, light dusty minerally fruit basket, funky, but clean, lovely tropicals, medium chewy foamy mouthfeel. Good balance, very nice.
