(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Hazy amber golden with a dense beige head. Spicy fruity nose. Quite full-bodied with plenty of yeast and fruity accents. Dry finish with quite some alcohol showing. 200608

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with small yeast floaties. Mild orange citric aroma, light roasted malt note too. Flavour is mild sour/citric yet solid embedded in a more classic caramel malt base. Certainly more vague than a flemish sour. Ends mild roasted and light bitter.

Cloudy brown color; creamy head. It has a good body, and quite good malt and chocolate flavor. Average bitterness. Maybe the yeast is too much, also because the bottle has been shaken, but it’s correctly brewed.

Fully hazy dark-amber to brown, with a small head, leaving lace. Gingerbread nose, bit smoked and lots of dark, but sweet malts, touch of licorice. Soft sweet, with a good lot of woodiness. Licorice flavour, especially retronasal, some yeasty esters. Finish is pure licorice. Medium to well-bodied, alcohol remains mainly hidden. Nowhere bad, but there’s no real uplifting item. The licorice flavour is too omnipresent in the taste (not really used as spice in here, it seems).

Bottled (BB 02/2008)
Dark nut brown, small tanned head. Aromatic nose of roasted malts and flowery hops. Medium-bodied, carbonated. Starts hoppy then turns chocolaty. Roasted aftertaste. One of the best French I’ve had.
