La Double … C’est l’ajout de 3 malts caramel au brassage qui confère à cette
bière double (6°) toute sa rondeur. Elle possède une belle finale de réglisse
anisée et un bouquet agréablement doux. EBC 54.

This one has a very strong herbal aroma and flavour. Most notably Bay Leaf and Gale perhaps some Salmiak too. Background has some caramel and dark malt.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. BBF 04/2015. Small GUSHER. Hazy brown light fox brown, beige head quickly vanishing. Smell is thick liquorish, iron, very thick spices, very sweet overripe dark fruits, caramel & even more slightly metallic liquorish. Tube weird mineral metallic liquorish, huge herbs, very high carb. bread overripe, dark fruits, very cheap box wine, spoiled grapes, explodes in the mouth, weird, too much, hard to describe.

33cl bottle @ home. Somewhat unclear reddish color, small off-white head. Smell malts, sweetness and lots and lots of herbs and spices. Taste also has sweetness and a lot of herbs and spices. I think it’s cinnamon. Or nutmeg. Anyway, I don’t like it, not my beer.

Gushing to good beige head, irregular, over fully hazy dark brown beer; end of bottle solid yeast. Perfumed nose of lavender, and some liquorice and mint. Melanoidins. Overload of liquorice in the flavour, with sweet chocolate and a pinch of juniperberry. Like some praline (Belgian chocolate) with one of those experimental fillings. Gradually, the flaovur becomes more and more minty. Not very well-bodied, spritzy carbonation. Ouch. Original, but not my taste. Carries the name of Piron, an ephemere brewery in Aubel.

33cl; bb 10/2014. Couleur acajou, col épais beige. Arôme fruité avec un bouquet réglisse anisé qui se fait très présent le tout suivi d’un léger bouquet malt grillé-caramel. Palais est agréablement centré sur la réglisse qui donne à la bière ce côté ’root beer’ très américaine. Malheureusement le tout tend à dominer le palais et au final devient un peu trop présent sur la fin. Ponte herbacée, et de sucre brun qui peines un peu à masquer cette réglisse trop présente. Pas mauvaise, mais 33cl était juste de trop pour moi, par contre l’arôme était moins dérangeant.
