Bottle in an ancient 75 cl swing top bottle, this beer from one if the very few relics left of ancient Wallon brewing. Golden color. Yeasty, vegetable and musty aroma. Dusty, slightly grassy and musty flavor with melon. Hints of caramel. Dirty mouthfeel. Too bad. I wanted to rate this beer higher but I simply couldn’t. Maybe it doesn’t travel well.

Very unusual winter beer since it comes from a very low-profile brewery which otherwise produces only table beers. Vinous, spicy, sweet and honeyish, light acidity; unlike most other Belgian Christmas ales, but I liked it. Not sure if they still do this every year, though.

Bottled (as Gigi La 1900 Spéciale). Clear pale amber, less head than on a glass of Coca Cola. Aroma of butterscotch and honey. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Interesting dicrete notes of tobacco, peach and roasty malt. No bitterness. Very unual with it’s complete lack of head and hard mouthfeel, but only halfway succesful.

very strange beer, sourish aroma, a litlle bit of diacetyl,, also hints of freshly baked bread. taste as of none-beery drink, flavours of spices, especially sweet woodruff and honey.
