Much more of a beer than I expected from Belle Gueule. Lightly spiced, with mild ginger and cinnamon. Pours dark amber with good head and lacing. Finishes with light sweetness and bitterness. Light on palate overall, but decent balance. Tap at Gainsbourg.

Aroma: Malt and cereal with a tiny bit candied sugar. Aromas are not sticking out much. Appearance: Clear copper with sparkling head going down fast. No lacing Taste: Attack is malty and slightly sparkling. Looking for flavors....A bit of sugar cane, a bit of caramel...very hard to dig out. Palate is nice though with medium body and oily texture. Round and warm mouthfeel. Beer is not bad not good. No personality.

Bouteille 341ml. Couleur cuivrée mousse peu dense disparaîssant rapidement. Arôme de caramel, une note de grains grillés. Goût de caramel plutôt discret, aucun arrière-goût.

Purchased a 6-pack of these, this Christmas at my local convenient store. Pours a clean amber colour with a big creamy-fizz off-white head that lasts a while and creates decent lacing. Carbonation is composed of lots of tiny bubbles. Sweet malt aromas with some spices (very mild cinnamon) and hop. Mild caramel and corn taste with a slightly bitter finish that is kind of dry. The spices are lightly present to hide the corn. Not sure why they say "Bavarian Bock" on the back label, and filtered to the max, but still a decent brew for winter.

bouteille 341ml. De couleur cuivrée foncée et claire. Nez de caramel sucré, léger de grains de malt sucrés et aux notes rôties avec des notes de houblon herbeux et des traces de pain grillé. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes huileuses. Goût de grains de malt moyennement sucrés et légèrement rôtis accompagné de traces d’épices lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un moyen goût de caramel avec des notes de pain grillé et des petites traces de sucre brûlé puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées, notes de foin) avec des notes de noix asséchantes et d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement amer de rôti, léger de houblon herbeux avec des petites notes de noix et d’alcool.

Bottle: Poured a light clear copper color bock with a small foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of dry caramel malt is not as intense as I would expect from a Christmas beer. Taste is also dominated by light dry caramel malt with minimal complexity. Body is not that full with good carbonation. More bland and boring then I would expect from a Christmas type beer.
