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.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Brussels. Rated on 21.07.2010
Aroma is somewhat spicy and sweet with caramel and orange peel. Flavour has spices, alcohol, caramel, raisins and sugary notes. Too boozy.

Bottle shared at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks Hansen & Zita for this bottle! Clear amber with a big off-white head. Fruity aroma with some apples and peaches notes, light acidity, yeast and a bit of malt. Sweetish spicy flavor with malt, yeast, some fruitiness and light acidity. Medium-bodied.

Brown 75cl cork and caged bottle, opened and consummed 31st Jan 09. Poured into three different chalices, the last one getting the sediment. Very impressed with this fine amber beer, typical Belgian feel to it, full bodied, rich and wholesome. Good spicey aroma, with hops and yeast coming through too. The last chalice had everything you’d want from an Amber, but with an attitude, great beer. I drove past the brewery last summer, but its visitor centre was closed (it was too early in the day) and I couldn’t hang around, pity. This is the third beer I’ve reviewed from them and I’ve enjoyed them all.

bottle 33cl. clear golden, bubbly offwhite head. citrussy, lemongrassy tart strong yellow fruity aroma. wild yeasts, spices, sour wheat brew??, not what i’d expected. however, aoma is in fact pretty clean and quenching. flavor is sweet malts, yellow fruits, no tart notes, no citrussy notes. pretty strange. some flowery notes like honey, but nothing tart or sour. pretty ordinary belgian strong ale.
