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.

Bottle, thank you very much pivnizub! Light sour nut, wood and chocolate aroma. Dark brown with a claret shine, low creamy brown head. Lightbodied, a bit hollow mouthfeel. Starts out wooden, chocolate, orangepeel, some metallic hops. Cherries retronasal. Fresh, but I really lack some chewyness to give the flavours substance.

Bottle: Deep chestnut-ambercoloured, small foamy off-white layer; delicate sourish-fruity nose, supported by roasted barley and a tinge of brown sugar; moderate to robust sweetish-sourish flavour, medium bodied; roasted malt and a little trace of yeast in the sourish-fruity finish. Tasty brew, presumably a hybrid of a sweet Sout and a flemish Sour Ale............

Deep dark brown coloured body with a fast-dying tan head. Bunches of bubbles rise from the bottom and sides, but are tough to see wih the opacity. Aroma of fresh malt, hops, sugar, yeast and a good amount of chocolate. Medium-bodied; Very effervescent; Strong assertive roasted malt with a candy-like sweetness following soon afterwards. Aftertaste shows more sweetness, chocolate, light pit fruits, yeast and a bit of malt coming forward. Overall, a pretty good and very sweet beer for the style. I was impressed with this one and I was glad I bought it! I sampled this 25 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 04-February-2009.

Bottle, 25cl at the Belgian Embassy in Oslo. It has a dark brown, almost clear pour, with a nice beige head. Chocolate, roasted malt, caramel and dried fruits fills the nose when sniffing it. The flavor has chocolate, roast, malt, fresh and dried fruits as well as a little bitterness. Full body, and a long, sweet caramel finish. Yet another nice one from van den Bossche. (080410)
