Description
Waterloo Beer is brewed with care in the Mont-Saint-Jean farm, the famous 'English Hospital' of the Battle of Waterloo. More than ever, this high-quality beer is a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship and courage. In 1815, during the famous conflict, the troops were supplied with high-fermented beer that gave them strength and courage to face each other. Two centuries later, Anthony Martin is proud to revisit this moment in history by reviving the local beer quality, prepared strictly according to the original recipe: Waterloo – beer of bravery!

Bottle. Quite sweet, quite fruity, small bitterness in the end... kind of shy in all aspects, even though it’s true to style. OK.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear brown with a big, foamy, off-white head. Nice aroma with big notes of Belgian yeast, candi sugar, some light toffee, and mild spice. Heavily sweet flavor, lots of caramel and toffee character, certainly some alcohol, very mild dark fruits. Full bodied with lively carbonation. Very warm to finish, lots of booze-soaked caramel and toffee, some very light and earthy bitterness, some overripe dark fruit. Lasting impressions of caramel, alcohol, candi sugar and Belgian yeast. Very decent, but a bit too overtly sweet and boozy to be better than that.

On tap at CafeeKe. Golden colour with a creamy and perfect lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and slightly yeasty. Flavour is sweet from the beginning to the end, bready on palate and with mild plumbcake hints. Carbonation is soft. Body is medium.

Fra flaske 0,75l - spandert av Rune - på 2 Be i Brugge 4 Mai 11. Gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. Bra skum som flater helt ut. Søt, svakt krydret aroma. God. Ellers en typisk søt trippel.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Waterloo Strong Dark (by John Martin):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 11/20, MyTotalScore: 3/5

24/11/2011 on tap @ Horeca Expo 2011 (2011-668)

Clear red brown beer, creamy dense light beige head, pretty stable, adhesive with nice lacing. Aroma: sweet malts, caramel, bit metallic. MF: bit too much carbon, medium body. Taste: little sour (infected draft lines after 5 days of exposition?), citrus touch, malty but not sweet, caramel, quite some dairy, yoghurt and cheese (all point towards infection of the draft lines). Aftertaste: more cheese, bitter touch, raisins.
