About
Yvan DE BAETS and Bernard LEBOUCQ meet each other in 2002, during the second edition of the Zinnekparade. Bernard had created the now famous ZINNEBIR for this unique Brussels event. However, it took another five years for BRASSERIE DE LA SENNE to settle effectively in the capital. In the meantime, the brewing activities were continued at friendly breweries. This bohemian existence came to an end on December 22, 2010, the date of the very first 100% Brussels brew!

750 ml capped and corked bottle purchased at Blue Max in Burnsville, Minnesota. Pour is a murky cloudy brown copper with a nice one inch tan head. Aroma is really malty, nutty, chocolate sweet, even a hint of roast in there. Behind that is some clove phenolic spices and yeastiness that melds with the malt nicely. The taste follows suit, malty, brown sugar sweetness, the signature De La Senne grassiness, finishing with the spice, clove and phenols of the yeast. Palate is medium, coats the mouth nicely. Nice one.

Nice deep brown coloured body with a very thin tan head. Aroma of nice fragrant malt, tart cherries, alcohol, sour grapes, caramel and nuts too - very interesting, but very nice. Very effervescent mouthful, medium-bodied; Strong assertive roasty malt up front with some mild nuts and caramel flavours. Aftertaste shows alcohol, some vanilla and oak and a very minor cherry flavour. Overall, a pretty good beer - better in the nose and in the glass than in the taste and afterwards. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased at Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 28-December-2007 sampled on this side of the Atlantic the day before I head back over to central Europe on 06-November-2009.
