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!

T: medium malty base, peach, bit herbal, some bready tones, herbal touch, some “bitterness”, bit like my favorite Gordon Xplosion yet too weak.

Absolutely deepest ruby-brown - if clear! - beer under a small ivory head, nice looking. Sweetened and half-spoiled milk, Babeure , decaying red grapes, brown candi sugar. Again brown sugar, the grapes turned to raisins, again diary. Quite sweet indeed, milk chocolate. Where might the whisky be? Light alcoholburn. Very slick to chewy. Medium to well-carbonated. Nose is awful. Rest is... too easy. For our Walloon friends: le ramage ne vaut pas le plumage. Txs to Stef!

75cl bottle from Cora in Brussels. F: medium, tan, quick gone. C: dark coppery to brown, light hazy. A: rich dark malts, chocolate, woody, vinous, caramel, berries, whisky, bit cocoa. T: full malty base, light chocolate, woody, cocoa, bit vinous, berries, whisky touch, spicy, caramel, bit weak bitterness for me, not so complex as it should be still good for the style, enjoyed.

It's fine. Better than the battle, presumably.

Bottle, as Waterloo Récolte Saison Bio. Very clear gold with a white head that settles to a cm. Rather shy aroma of grain, light fruit (apricot, some orange) spice (white pepper, cloves). So it tastes. Dryish, which accentuates the moderate bitterness. Snappy with spices at the end. Not bad.

Bottle, bb 2/25. Golden amber with a thick white head that lasts very well. Aroma of spiced dough, some banana, hints of booze. Dryish with sweet dough, some fruit, slightly harsh spicy bitterness. Not the classiest tripel you'd have but not bad at all.
