Bottled. Hazy amber colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is toffee, some nutty, mild spicy with some alcohol and wood too. Flavour is sweet malts, some nutty, mild toasted and yeasty tones with some mild berries and a little bit of alcohol too.

Grain d'Orge's winter ale, apparently a classic that has been around for many years... Pale beige, thick and pillowy, plaster-like lacing, stable head on a lightly hazy mahogany brown beer with warm bronze-reddish hue. Aroma of candied figs, crumbled spiced cookies, blackberry jam, candied cherries on top of a cake, caramel, subtler hints of clove, Christmas pudding, vague coffee powder as used on a dessert, coriander seed, ruby port, muesli, dried banana, gingerbread, red apple, brown bread, damp earth, iron. Sweetish onset, deep-dark candi sugar effect but with a light blackberry-like sourish accent, hints of dried figs, baked bananas and candied cherries, fizzily carbonated. Full, tad resinous body, a brown-bready, caramelly, chocolate cookie-like maltiness with dark lingering sugars and clear, 'growing' spiciness reminiscent of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg with perhaps a dash of dried ginger. This spicy phase does, however, not become overly harsh or astringent due to the spices as such; it leaves enough room for a more toasty-bitterish aspect of the malt bill to develop, along with a herbal hop bitter note and a well-placed afterglow of port-like alcohol. That said, the spices and dried fruits obviously win the game in the end - yet in a more subtle manner than I am used to from Walloon winter ales; this, combined with a fully developed, 'honest' and pure dark maltiness and well-balanced alcohol factor, clearly identify this as an above average Belgian 'Christmas' ale for me. Pleasantly surprised, to be honest.

Bottle from Carrefour. Dark amber with a frothy head. Aroma of dried fruit and malt. Flavour is sweet malt, fruit on a burnt finish.

At Pub Grain d'Orge, Hombourg. Shared with Anke.
Pours hazy brown with a lasting, frothy, tan head. The aroma contains yeast, dark fruits, raisin, caramel, nuts & spices. It tastes medium caramel-like sweet and light spicy bitter; yeast is noticeable throughout. Light punch of alcohol,good. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. This is a very decent one.

Mooi donkerbruin tot zwart bier met stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is licht zoet en krachtig met iets van kiwi en zwarte bessen. Gewoon erg goed.

La Grelotte est elle un remède pour arrêter de grelotter en cette saison hivernale? Telle est la proposition de la brasserie Grain d’Orge pour une bière qu’elle estime festive. Le titrage alcoolique de 9 % Abv et la couleur, brun foncée sont des point positifs. l’effervescence est sympathique avec de nombreuses et fines bulles conférant une mousse beige claire de deux centimètres d’épaisseurs (s’affaissant de par endroit). Le nez n’est pas des plus développés. Céréales torréfiés, café, un brin de prune et de réglisse. Pour une bière festive, on attend davantage. A la dégustation l’attaque est souple mais présente d’emblée des notes épicées en sus des arômes des céréales et de café. L’amertume se présente ensuite sur des notes corsées avec une belle puissance portée par les 9 % Abv. L’arrière bouche soyeuse sur le café et le café permet un bon équilibre. Le duo amertume - arrière bouche fonctionne à merveille et présente un double niveau de tonalité, l’amertume dans les aiguës et l’arrière bouche dans les graves. Le final regagnera en légèreté pour laisser en bouche l’amertume sur des notes de réglisse. En conclusion notre Grelotte est une véritable bière de Noël, festive, équilibrée et réconfortante. On aurait simplement apprécié une pointe supplémentaire de complexité et de chaleur.

hazy brown colour, minimal beige-ish off-white head; aroma of raisins, some dried frigs, caramel and some anise notes; taste is the same with burnt sugar; correct Belgian strong ale, but nothing more
