Schönes dunkles Kupfer im Glas, wenig Schaum. In der Nase Malz, Holz. Im Trunk setzt sich das fort, dunkle Trauben, Weinbrand, okay.

Sampled @ Brassigaume 2022. A hazy amber beer with a white lacing. Aroma of herbal malt, yeast, spices. Taste is the same.

Small, reasonably stable cream-coloured head over cold hazed, orangeish amber beer. Syrup/caramel nose; fruity esters, honeyish. Sweet caramelly malts obvious, nutty. More bitterish, leafy. Dry, but with still quite some (rest)sugars in the finish, which is also slightly metallic. Chestnuts. Good carbonation, slick and even a bit sticky, oily feel. Not half bad. A top-fermenting Vienna, IMO. Txs to L&Y for bringing!

Dark amber colour, white foam. Some citrus, peach, bitter green hops, some herbal bitterness. A bit unbalanced. Not great.

The amber ale in the Rochehaut series, again thanks to Joeri for sharing. Medium thick, mousy, egg-white, membrane-lacing head on a misty orange-peach blonde beer with amberish tinge. Aroma of soggy peanuts, wood glue, rusk, apple peel, dried fig, linseed, dried grass, thyme and a vague background whiff of DMS (overcooked cauliflower). Dryishly fruity onset, some apple peel and dried apricot, clean with rather sharp carbonation; bit glueish mouthfeel, slick hard-caramelly and peanutty maltiness but slenderly so, bittersweetish in a restrained way, developing a herbal character in the end from the hops (thyme, dried field flowers), providing only soft bitterness; some peanutty maltiness lingers. Clean, straightforward, accessible interpretation of the classic Walloon ‘ambrée’ style, but pleasant enough to drink.
