330ml bottle from Flandrinks. Pours a dull cloudy brown, thin off-white head atop. Vibrant aroma bringing spice, sweet berry, triple yeast. Continues to taste presenting excellent spice and prominent jenever notes with a complimentary creamy triple base.. nicely sweet. Great stuff.

330ml bottle from Flandrinks, Hazebrouck. Pours a hazed dull amber, off-white head. Wonderful aroma. Really good pronounced, complex bourbon elements.. nutty coconut, butterscotch and vanilla notes.. excellent.

Draught @ Kerelshof, Cassel. Pours a lightly cloudy gold, good white head. Gently yeasty nose. Flavour profile veers towards a peppery bitter saison profile, not unlike Thiriez's Pepper Trip, moderate saison yeast in the background, a little overly bitter for my tastes, but refreshing enough.. long dry bitter close.

33cl bottle from maltese.beer, Italy. Pours scarcely transparent, dark blonde, with limited white foam, medium grained. Aroma is fruity and honey, a little spiced. Body is average, with good carbonation. Taste is fairly bitter, though with a little sweetness behind. Final is still intense and bitter.

22/XII/25 - on tap, shared with the misses @ La Capsule (Lille), BB: n/a (2025-1447)

Pretty cloudy beige blond beer, creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: fruity touch, malty, grains, sweet impression overall. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: oh my, lovely, a good strong bitterness up front, grassy notes, pretty spicy, malty, grains, hoppy, more spices. Aftertaste: pretty dry, hoppy, banana, a bit yeasty, spicy, a hint of coriander, dusty, grassy, somewhat resinous, good one!

Bouteille 75cl partagée avec Tomaz. Bottled 08/12/2021, BB 01/2027, lot# VB07.
Brune foncée, léger voile, col pâle crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet plasiante axé sur un caractère 'sour' funk, barrique tannique, fruits noirs.
Palais sur une plaisante note 'sourish', un peu grillé, fruits noirs, effet plaisant de la barrique de vin rouge - petite note de chocolat, effervescence retenue mais qui passe bien avec le style - vineuse sur la fin.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 07/2025, lot# 1269.
Dorée, léger voile/pâle, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme est marqué par l'apport de baies de genévriers - touche un peu fruits des bois/baies noires. Mais bien de noter que la bière a passé sa date de péremption même si le tout reste solide - petite oxydation apparaît en retrait.
Palais sur une belle base de triple assez plaisante - léger malté, un peu caramel, booze marqué - l'apport des baies de genévrier confère des notes qui compètent l'amertume liée à un houblonnage noble entre terreux/floral et fine douceur qui est reprises par les baies.

Strangely didn't rate this when I tried it first time 330ml bottle 1st Nov 2014: Hoppy, bitter but a bit lacklustre & lacking some fruitiness. Tried again 11 years later. 75cl bottle, and have to agree with the lacklustre comment, very light and easy-drinking. Drunk in the context of being a light table beer, however, it's fine.
