Roodbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van karamel, wat rozijn, anijs en een vleugje drop. Uitstekend!

Cette Cuvée Constant n'est pas déplaisante du tout même si elle n'est pas d'une complexité ou d'une intensité exceptionnelle. Elle est cependant juste dans ce qu'elle propose et fait globalement honneur à la Belgique. En verre nous sommes sur une robe brune (EBC de 53) avec une très fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanc cassé de 1 cm. Le nez est relativement frais avec sur des arômes de pain noir, noisette, pointe chocolat, caramel coriandre, et girofle. En bouche, l'ensemble est élégant avec des arômes qui fonctionnent bien et une bière qui se laisse facilement boire. L'alcool, à 7,5 % donne un petit caractère sympathique. Si la corpulence est moyenne, la longueur est bonne pour sa part. Une bière qui se laisse facilement déguster.

The Scotch in the Fagnes brand, now called Cuvée Constant in honour of Constant Lavaux, a wrestling champion of more than a hundred years ago... Foamy, frothy, audibly crackling, egg-white, cobweb-lacing head on an initially clear bronze-brown beer with warm copper hue, turning hazy with sediment. Aroma of hard caramel, clove, peanuts, brown bread crust, chewing gum, baked banana, toasted hazelnuts, plaster, young 'jenever', dried cranberries, hints of tea, brandy, iron, burnt sugar. Sweet onset, dark sugariness but not cloying and remaining well-restrained, hints of banana, pear and fig, bit bubblegummy, fizzily carbonated with a slight sourish edge; full, bit glueish, slick body. Hard-caramelly, smooth maltiness, bittersweetish with a light toasty edge, while that bubblegummy tone lingers on; spicy aspects in the finish, phenolic clove but actual spicing as well, albeit vague and difficult to identify (coriander perhaps, nutmeg, cinnamon?). Burnt sugariness and herbal, tea-like hoppiness accompany this malty bittersweet and spicy finish, highlighted by a warming, vaguely brandy-like alcohol glow. Scotch - the Belgian interpretation of the actually Scottish 'wee heavy' - once enjoyed huge popularity in this country, both in Flanders and Wallonia, but is now largely a thing of the past, unless if you count all those spiced dark Christmas beers that have been based on it from the start, generations ago; it is therefore no wonder that this beer, sadly no longer mentioning its 'Scotch' identity on the label (maybe for commercial reasons), strongly reminds one of the Belgian XMas ale tradition. Rather predictable, in all, with a slick bubblegumminess that annoyed me a bit; typical Fagnes style, I would argue. Not bad, but nothing really remarkable going on here either.
