Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of wood, brettanomyces, fruits, and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, wood, brettanomyces, and berries, leading to a dry woody finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Great oak aroma with a tart whiff. Medium body, sweet malts and toffee with lots of barrel character, sweet yet with a delicate tartness. Ends smooth with the alcohol well hidden. Lovely. 021110

Agree with Stew on this one.Pours reddy amber, small off-white head.Nose shows dirty lemon notes, like lemon lollies. A fair bit of sour brett-like character in there (from the barrel possibly?), like a flander’s red. Lots of acidity.Flavours show less acidity, more woody oak and alcohol. Some sweet malt shows at first but then the lemony gueuze character cuts in. Somewhat harsh. Actually, very harsh.Low carbonation, could be higher.

330ml bottle. Mahogany, wisp of a beige head retreats to the rim. Aroma dark sugars, berries, grapes, dough, cinnamon, ginger. Tastes like a spicy cider with some tart as well as quite a lot of sweet. Some toasted, almost roasted malt flavours. Wood on the finish creeps in after a few sips. Odd and not very Belgian-seeming. Needs some bubbles. But quite complex and pleasantly well-integrated flavours. Still, a bit of a let down after their Bière de Garde.

From a 330ml bottle on 10/7/2010. Comes in a cool shaped bottle, with the label indicating it’s 8.3% rather than 8.5%. This is actually a pretty decent crack at a Belgian strong ale, if not quite as convincing as the genuine article. Has a nice stong, distinctive spicy, fruity aroma. Flavour wise, it tastes of sweet dried fruits, roasted malt, burnt sugar, and alcohol.
