Buffalo 1907 is een bier van 6,5% abv met een koffiezwarte kleur en stabiel beige schuim. Het bier geurt naar karamel en chocolade. De smaak evolueert van karamel, over een licht gebrande toets en eindigt in een zacht-bittere afdronk.
Brewed since 1907, when the near-complete staff of the brewery went to see the circus of Buffalo Bill, leaving the boiling brewing kettle to the care of the youngest employee. This boy let the beer roast and caramelise on the bottom of the kettle, but after trying, everybody actually liked the "spoiled" beer, which became the brewery’s staple diet.

Classic sweet stout with a long history, named after Buffalo Bill when he came to town in Sint-Lievens-Esse more than a century ago. Nowadays effectively labelled ’stout’ but till recently, this was a kind of Flemish sweet stout, an old-fashioned style nobody drinks anymore, in disguise. Bronze beer with medium, light beige head; caramelly maltiness, candi syrup sweetness, some fruity esters, biscuit, light and thin body, smooth, lightly bitterish finish; a bit straightforward but this is perfectly acceptable for this particular style; simple, but tasty and ’honest’. A flashback into Belgian brewing history, like many old regional beers from old family brewers that are still kept alive.

Deep amber brown colour, small frothy light tan head, recedes after a while but a thick layer remains, good lacing. Aroma sweet malts, caramel, brown sugar, fruity (cherry, berries), roasty notes, soap. Taste is medium sweetbitter and on the whole quite light. Medium body, light oily texture, carbonation average, mild sweet fruity finish. Overall this is a rather shy beer, especially taste and aftertaste are on the flat side and the soap in the aroma is a drawback.

Sample from tap, CBF 2014. Dark brown colour with a medium sized lightly tanned head. Lightly roasted aroma with sweet fruits - some berries, caramel malts and light coffee. Taste is sweet. Medium body with a creamy texture. Finishes dry and fruity with lightly roasted malts and honey-notes. Very easygoing, but rather subtle.

Bottle, thanks SirLimpsalot. Dark brown with a large head. Aroma and taste of light roasted malt, toffee and some berries. The body was light. Drinkable but nothing special.
