Bottled. A murky orange beer with a rim of beige head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of alcohol, berries, over ripe fruits, and flowers. The flavor is sweet with a slight acidic edge and notes of malt and fruit as well as a light touch of brettanomyces and grrapefruit. The alcohol leaves a slight burn on the palate, though nothing considering the 15.5% ABV, and gives it a good body. Thanks madsberg for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of madsberg/Bov. Pours a slightly hazy, orangey brown with a yellowish head. Tart, brettish aroma with some wood. Medium body - the heavy alcohol is not felt at all. Extremely floral and perfumy accents, some oak and a dry finish. Interesting but not overly complex. 270607

Bon Chien is a world-class beer. Aroma begins with sherry and oak. It has a dark brown color and little carbonation. Full, complex flavor. there is oak, apple, pear, sweet port and dry red wine, as well as light malt sweetness and just a little sugar. The abv is completely hidden, and I am surprised to see how high it is. Aftertaste of Belgian yeast.

750ml bottle; Nose of tart funk, caramel, and some purnes; Hazy rust with a few bubbles (not much in the way of carbonation); Flavor of an odd wine vinegar kind of tartness, caramel and alcohol, body thin for the style, with a tart alcohol finish (no hops evident). Is this a new style (says biere de garde on the label) a Barley Sour Imperial Ale? It will not displace my favorite barleywines.

Bottle courtesy of IMtheOptimator: Poured a medium amber color ale with a small foamy head with limited retention or lacing. Aroma of oak and tart is pretty enticing. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt, oak and some vinous character. Body was about medium full with some very low carbonation. I could not detect any alcohol which is quite a feat at 14% but could feel the effect afterward. Interesting combination between the malt presence of a Biere de Garde and a Flander Red oak presence.
