Its main beers are Brice, Joup, Canaille, Grelotte, The Pom, Triple, Double and Pure d'Aubel. To this are added others, so-called beers on contract. They are tailor-made for small debits or special events.

Coca-Cola coloured beer, clear; with a short-lived off-white head, fast gone. Very honeyish nose, honingbollen , nice. True, not much else. Soft honeyish flavour, a bit bready, I’d be tempted to call this a soft German Doppelbock. Dark malts abound, and restsugars. Mineral water quality. Alcohol comes out, slick. Good one. De Bouillon is absolutely bettering its act.

Bottle, Quinns, Camden. Poured a slightly cloudy dark brown; Spicy aroma, with more spice evident in the flavour with some fruit and malt thrown in too. Dry, slightly nutty finish. Quite enjoyable. Didn’t feel a ’schteng’ in my tail, let alone 3....

[i] [b] Bottle, many thanks to Glen ’Imdownthepub’ for this beer [/i] [/b] Hazy golden in colour with nice bubbly head. Yeast, spice and some bitterness on the nose. Tasted much bitterer than I anticipated but in a good way as it didn’t suffer from being to sweet, yes there was spice and yeast in the mouth but quite simple and quite decent, I liked it cheers Glen.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish golden colour, with mediumsized white head. Aroma is lots of spices, herbs and fruits in a quite nice mix. Flavour is quite fruity and flowery hops along with some really bready hints. The breadiness vanishes towards the finish and leaves just fruityness and sweet nectaryness for the finish. Some mild yeastyness is lurking in the background. No real aftertaste in this one.
