La Caracole présente un dégagement gazeux important et une mousse abondante et compacte, tenant bien. Au nez, elle offre des arômes de houblon et quelques notes de marée. Elle est un peu piquante en bouche ; on ressent tout d’abord le houblon et une légère torréfaction. Elle est aussi marquée par quelques pointes de fleurs d’oranger, de moka et de réglisse. En fin de bouche, on distinguera une belle amertume équilibrée et prolongée. Première et plus ancienne bière de la brasserie du même nom, la Caracole est également la plus produite des protégées de François Tonglet.

Bottle at poechenellekelder,4.40?, abv is 7.9. Amber copper color, clear, coarse white head reducing but somehow persistent, looks fizzy. Aroma is mostly fruity with berries and some non invasive caramel, cake, cookies, marmelade, gummy bears maybe, a candy thing, some passito wine. Taste sweet, very light bitterness follows with some tart. Fluffy texture, carbonated. Failry dry long finish with a trail of starch and glucose. Good for dessert, not my preference.

hazy orange to amber colour, huge, dense off-white head; aroma of dried fruits, some cocoa powder, floral and cheesy notes as well as leather; taste of Belgian yeast, dried fruitiness, burnt sugar, hints of cheese and malty sweetness; not a typical one, but still good Belgian strong ale

Dark orange, slightly hazy, rough and fast disappearing white head. Nose is sugar, esters, ripe fruits, a hint of earthiness; none of the above is standing out. Taste is sweet with sugar, caramel and maybe a hint of honey. Ripe fruit notes as in the nose. A hint of bitterness in the finish but maybe still a tad too sweet. Fruity aftertaste. Medium body and carbonation, soft mouthfeel, slightly prickly on the tongue. Nice, maybe a bit boring

Bottle from Tres Bonne Cuisine. Lively bottle, had to get it in the glass right away at, initial high airy, foamy head. Murky brown pour with lots of particulates. Sugary sweet, yeasty aroma. Lots of sweetness in the taste, plums and molasses. Slick body, but kind of thin. Lingering sweetness.

Pours clear amber. Frothy ivory head. High aroma is very intense, seems artificial and ends sickening. Watery, dry, very metallic. Short lingering finish.
