Dernière volonté (French for "Last Will") is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.

Bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy lasting white head and lacings. Nose is yeasty, floral, vanilla, hoppy and fruity. Very inviting and well combined. Taste has lots of orange peel, a bit of pepper, spices and hops. Smooth and dry. A tasty beer for certain.

Nice babyfood banana and apricot aroma. Cloudy golden, full of floaties, medium snow white head, some lacing. Malty apricot flavor. Grassy palate. Pretty good, but lacks anything that sets it apart.

11.5 ounce bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours a golden color, hazy, with a large white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is bread, lots of spice and lots of citrus and other fruit notes. Taste is caramel, bread, toffee and spice. Dry finish. Medium-full bodied. Good beer.

This brew pours a hazy yellow color with a medium thin ivory white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Light spices and yeast in the nose. Medium body with flavors of citrus, yeast and spices, especially pepper. The finish is fruity and sweet with a yeast and spice aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Pours dirty gold with thin white head. The aroma is very fruity and candy – like with notes of apple, apricot, yeast and spice. The taste is very spicy with yeast spice notes and cinnamon. Those flavors are soon followed by big fruitiness by midway from apples, pears and apricots. It ends with a bit of Belgian candi sugar.

12oz bottle pours a slightly hazy, yellow orange with a frothy, clumping, lacing white head. Aroma has plenty of yeasty esters, bananas, clove, spice, some gentle sweetness, tropical fruits. Flavor is very similar, spices and bananas, yeasty, a little bready, flowers, some more sweet fruits. Finish is sweet and slightly chalky. I don’t know that this beer is a knockout, but it’s really drinkable and a great representation of the style. It was a tad expensive but overall very nice.

Pours clear at first, there’s lots of yeast at the bottom of this one. A few small yeast "floaties". Tall, thick, long lasting white head that leaves a gorgeous lace on the glass. Orange marmalade on toast aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with some dryness at the finish. Spicy and interesting.

11.5oz bottle, five dollars for a single of this at stores in DC. Ouch. Having been to Dieu du Ciel, I have the fullest respect for them however. Cloudy golden orange color, very nice. Big head, still waiting for it to die down. Hops and Belgian yeast in the aroma. The creaminess of a good Belgian Ale with lots of hoppy freshness on top of it. Oh, to live in Montreal. This beer is awesome!

Pours bright gold into an English pint. Fluffy off-white whipped cream head tophats as it slowly recedes leaving spotted sheets. Candi and malt aromas. Smooth, creamy and slick with sour caramel and a dry, lasting citrus pip and pepper finish.
