[i] Bottle at Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant, Gent, 07-12-07 [/i] Loz was unimpressed with this beer so passed a three quarter glass over to me in exchange for my one quarter of Klokke Roeland (think I did well there) Molasses or burnt sugar, honey and thyme on the nose of this muddy dark brown beer. The honey and thyme dominate the taste but like Loz I was not overly impressed.

Small white head, with some lace; clear foxy-orange colour. Mustard seed, or real (green) Dijon mustard, pickles, Thai herbs. Special! And not bad,neither. Same, slightly fiery, very spicy mustard taste (like tarragon mustard). Touch of caramel. Good balance, all the same. Sourish ending, like lemon on celeri. Not very well-bodied, spritzy. Very original taste - which makes me doubt seriously this would be another St. Monon ambrée clone . What the Dickens did Jacob add to this one?
