Choulette Ambrée is the result of a rigorous selection of special aromatic malts which give it a good caramel taste. Red, with coppery reflections, dense ivory foam, this beer exudes an aroma rich in notes of prune.

Pours a dark amber, almost brown colour, with a fluffy head. A rich aroma of spice, dark fruit, coffee. Satisfying taste, lots of malts with a bit of bitterness, but nicely balanced. Pretty good overall.

Clear orange golden colour, white head. Metallic aroma, iron, malts. Malty flavour with iron. Light spicy finish, iron, metal, light malts.
Too bad of the iron, otherwise it might’ve been a really nice beer.

Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur ambrée et voilée. Nez de grains de malt sucrés aux notes terreuses et rôties, léger de fruits (pommes, notes de cerises, de dates et d’abricots) et avec des notes de pain, de caramel, d’alcool et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût de levures fruitées sucrées et très légèrement sûres (cerises douces, léger de raisins et d’abricots, notes de dates) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de grains de malt sucrés aux notes rôties, moyen de pain et de caramel bonbon ainsi qu’avec des traces de vanille puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon plutôt floral avec des notes d’alcool doux et de faibles traces poivrées. Post-goût moyen-long, légèrement amer de houblon floral avec des notes d’alcool très doux ainsi qu’avec un léger goût fruité (agrumes, pelures d’abricots, moût de cerises) et de petites traces rôties.

bottle from saveur-biere. Hazy amber-golden colour, mid-sized off-white head. Slightly fruity with dusty hops, caramel and very shy hints of vegetables.

Bottle at Sous-Bock, Paris. It pours amber, with a long-lasting thick beige head. The nose is caramel, wood, leather and spice. The taste is caramel, wood, very spicy, earth, some dark fruit, metallic, brown bread, leather and some warming alcohol, with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and fizzy champagne-like carbonation. A great biere de garde.

May 2008: 75cl Green cork and caged bottle, poured into two Corsendonk stemmed tulip shaped glasses. The pour was in one almost smooth action, but the second glass ended up with a few pieces of sediment. Otherwise the beer was a lovely amber, a little lighter than a typical Belgian Amber beer but with the same good biege foaming head. The beer was opened 4 months after the Best Before Date. The aroma was like a fairly sweet malty biscuit straight out of the oven. Good flavours throughout, this is a well balanced beer and I really enjoyed it. The 8% doesn’t knock your socks off, but you know it’s there. The French beer scene is a lot better than most poeple realise, this is a good example of what they are missing.
