Black color. Strange aroma, light,milky, with delicate roasted malt and nuts. Medium body strength, milky roasted malt flavor, but something is wrong here. The roasted malt gives a light sourness at the end. Chaotic.

Bottled@GBBF2007. Hazy woodeny amber colour with big foamy white head. Aroma is yeast, hops, caranmel malts and slight alcohol. Flavour is hoppy, honeyish, caramelly, yeasty and overall quite sweet. Quite much spices also.

Yellowish small head, fast gone over orangey-gold beer, with a slight haze and a lot of UFO’s next. Very perfumey beer, lavender, rosemary, Canada poplar leaves, willow leaves. Very estery-spicy (Szechuan pepper?), and markedly bog myrtle, as well as again lavender (even when the ingredients don’t speak about such addition). Point, if unmistakable, of restsugar, and a touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, grist slickness. Aftertaste is spicy bitterness. Spicy, rather original beer. I keep wondering about the lavender.

Vintage 2007, 8% ABV
Cloudy golden color; creamy head; too much yeast in the bottle. The aroma is perfumy, light spices, lavender, very light yeast; interesting. The mouthfeel is very good, soft, quite sweet with malt flavor; also a herbal touch (light rosemary or lavender); the bitterness at the end is just a bit above my liking. Good but odd.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Aroma of Belgian ale, hops and spicy, a bit like Orval. Medium body structure, dry malt flavor and caramel, bold bitterness, very spicy, leaving that kind of astringency and metal feeling similar to an Orval. Strong carbonation. Very good.

Hazy blond beer. Aroma of perfumy malt, coriander, flowers. Dry mouthfeel, dry malt taste, perfumy, spicy, very good. Correct bitterness, but the final is not interesting as the aroma and flavor. A good Belgian Ale.

Amber color, big cloudy off-white head. Sour, spelt-like nose. Carbonated mouthfeel. Dry, woody flavor. Aftertaste is dry grassy hoppy with touch of alcohol. A bit yeasty. Not very good, a bit "too handcrafted".

Deep, black body. Creamy, lightly brown head. Aroma of malts, liquor, ...: quite lovely and complex. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Good balance. Very nice beer for it’s rather low ABV.
