A very good beer that I probably don’t appreciate enough because Pannepot Reserva preceded it. There is sweet malt in the aroma. Opaque brown appearance. Flavor has some fruit, including prunes and apple, as well as sweet malt. A thick beer, and very good in or out of its style.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry fruits and candi sugar is quite enjoyable. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt with candi sugar and some notes of dry figs and raisins are also noticeable. Body is quite full with some good carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. I thought this was well done overall but lacked some complexities to take it to a greater level.

I think I about finished a bottle of this to myself at ABF on 6/16/07
Well, well, well, no one thinks much of it, eh?? I don’t know what to say. It’s very clean, and as I much appreciate, not chalk full of crude esters and phenols. What’s there is integrated with the abundant hoppiness that ranges from a sweet grassiness, to a zesty herbal quality, even throwing in some light citrus (tangerine, lemon). Pineapple, peach and apricot esters are about the strongest of the Belgian notes, and quite moderate at that (I thought). The malt evokes notions of biscuits, for sure, with almost a chewy, vanilla-wheat-like flavor, no doubt emanating from the careful malting and unfiltered nature. Honey grows lightly in strength, with warming, but the hops continue to balance all the way through.
For being a tri-culture of yeast, it, surprisingly, is very light on the Belgian yeast character. Though it’s obviously not intended to be a funky, exotic, Belgian yeast bomb. It remains clean and lightly sweet, very dainty, with proper attenuation, especially given how young it is. Carbonation is quite strong right now, but will settle down, and even at its current level, it hardly is problematic. I found neither flaw, nor alcohol. Didnt find the plastic, graininess or popcorn.
Very intense, white head, with strong lacing and a lemon-lime, brassy-colored body.

Bottle: Poured a light beige color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of funky yeast with some nice spices and light ester. Taste is also dominated by some sweet fruit notes as well as some spices and the funky yeast. Average body with great carbonation. I thought it was a bit too sweet for my own palate but still enjoyable overall. Re-rate 2008 (fresh bottle 2007): Enjoyable saison with some fruity ester but lightly hops and still a bit too sweet. I still have a hard time understanding the big fuss over this one.

Nice packaging; interesting label. The beer is orange. Aroma has light spices, almost a yeasty, barnyard weirdness but not quite, because it doesn’t smell sour enough. Flavor is surprisingly sweet for a biere de garde, and has considerble yeast. Also very malty, and probably the thickest and heaviest beer I have had in this style. Finish is sweet malt with wild herbs and spices.

Bottle courtesy of Naven: Poured a cloudy dark brown/burgundy color ale with a nice big light brown foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of dry raisins and dry figs is very enjoyable Taste is a well balance mix between some sweet malt with nice dry raisins and figs characteristics with a subtle yeasty finish. Body is full with some great carbonation and no alcohol could be detected. I thought this was similar to Chimay blue or Achel extra bruin and presents a very nice level of complexity. It is definitely something I wish I could get my hand on more often.
