25 cl bottle. Pours unclear blonde, good white head. Smell is sweet, intense maltyness. Some banana yeast. Taste is bit bitter, sharp maltyness, slightly metallic maybe. Much abbey yeast, Not sure what its listed for as a BDG , since the bottle mentiones tripel and it does taste like one too.

Bottle at home. 2 years old. The colour is deep, reddish brown and is quite unclear. Beige head. Sweet aroma with dried fruit, chocolate, caramel, Belgian yeast, wood, leather and some alcohol. The flavour is similar with more raisins, licorice, wood and leather. Has slick and silky mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A sweet and nice dark Belgian ale.

330ml bottle, 9% ABV: BBD end of 2016. Poured into a Gordons badged thistle shaped glass at home on 5th Dec 2014. Nice red hue to the dark body, on top a full tanned even foamed head. Sweet malty and spicy aroma, plenty of alcohol like esters in the nose too (can you actually smell alcohol?). Sweet flavours within the taste, malty molasses, cinnamon and other wintery yet sweet spices. Good body depth and a very nice Christmas beer: thanks to my darling wife for bringing it back from Brugge for me.

The original blond version of Sara, since 1991, probably Belgium’s first buckwheat beer. Thick, yellowish, stable head, beautiful lacing; warm copper colour, hazy with deposit. Grainy and fruity aroma with sourish buckwheat, apple, melon, cake, cheese, vanilla; fruity taste, sweetish with a fresh sourish accent and something metallic in the background, spicy, more caramelly, different sweetishness in the finish, a little bit sticky. A true ’specialty grain’ and very tasty.

Apparently some sort of Christmas ale Silenrieux makes for the "Brass’heure" festival of Cerfontaine, with a coarse and unstable, light beige head and very dark burgundy colour. Dark fruits and nutty malts in the nose, touches of wood, cognac and candi sugar, taste of dried and candied fruits with some yeasty spiciness and roasted malts in the finish. Seems unfinished. Definitely a Scotch in disguise again, as usual with typical Belgian winter ales.

Bottle from tderoeck - bedankt! - Dark brown colour. Aroma of toasty grains and red fruit sweetness. Flavour of red fruits that initially quite sweet but finishes with a sharper tang.
