Visibility: very elegant dark amber color, beautiful persistence of the foam head taken up by fine air bubbles, density and strenght.
Nose: pleasant nose, fruity fragrance, light touch of citrus and a little hint of flowers complemented by a slightly roasted touch.
Mouth: all that we perceive with the nose we find back in the mouth, a very moderate body provides an easy and pleasant tasting.
We find the roasted touch back more then in the nose but the caramelized touch brings a soft sensation in the mouth.
A slight warmth is felt in the back of the mouth leaving a slightly bitter touch.
A second sip already presents itself…

Bouteille 33cl, BB 11/2017. Ambrée, col épais blanc-cassé crémeux. Arôme met d’office la note sur des épices, malgré que la bouteille indique ne pas en faire usage. Note rappelant la coriandre et un bouquet très belge dans la levure. On retrouve des traces houblonnées nobles, Saaz-like qui donnent un léger herbacé et fruité citronné ponctuées par qcq notes de malt grillé. Palais, au grand dam des houblons, qui sont au nombre de 4, et ces derniers contribuent que très peu d’une manière évolutive à l’amertume et au bouquet. Retrouve un malté typique de cara, pâle et once de pils sur une petite douceur grillée. Amertume perce plus en fin de bouche, et on garde cette impression d’épice couplée à un léger fleuri. Seul reproche, pourquoi encore rajouter 4 houblons si ces derniers se ressemblent, on retombe dans une bière trop belge avec toujours les mêmes accords ... .donc on n’ose pas et on continue la tradition. Restant correcte comme bière, je m’ennuie tout de même.

7th Feb 2015: Brugge Beer Festival. Deep amber pour, white topping. Sweet aroma and taste, very sweet in fact. Calmed down a little after a couple of sips, but the overriding sweetness prevailed right through the brew. Slight floral hint behind the sugar.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ BBF 2014. Dark amber, solid white head. Smells like lotion mixed sugar, lots of it, sweet hand soap,… Sweet lotion taste, herbal, hay, chemical, soapy,.. Thick malty body. Weakest beer I have had by this brewery so far. Too unpleasantly sweet to make you want to drink more than a couple of sips from it.
