Dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a big frothy-creamy warm-beige head, good retention and creamyish lacing. Roasted malt aromas with nuttiness, hoppiness and a touch of molasses, dark fruits. The taste is malty, a little on the sweet side, but the hops come to cut the richness. Roasted barley lingers, and not too syrupy. A pretty easy-drinking Imperial Nut Brown ale with enough hops, that is just well-balanced, but still warming.

Brownies au chocolat infusés dans le Porto avec une touche de café dans une torréfaction bien implantée font foi d’un olfactif puissant et alcoolisé. Liquide noir et opaque surmonté d’une mousse moka d’épaisseur moyenne qui se maintient également moyennement. Puissante torréfaction en entrée de bouche relevant des notes de café intenses. Alcool et houblons se combinent pour nous donner une finale épicée et amère. Réchauffée, la bière libère des esters de pruneaux. Les malts sucrés résonnent très peu. C’est l’alcool et l’intense amertume qui prédominent. Le corps est un peu moins puissant et moelleux que la moyenne pour ce style. Une grande amertume de torréfaction caractérise cette Stout intense et exempte d’éléments sucrés qui caractérise habituellement les Pastry Stouts. O:7.18 V:5.0 G:7.98 C:3.45 G:15.58 T:39.19

Effluves de caramel fondant enrobées de Whisky épicé font foi d’un olfactif bien alcoolisé. Liquide brun aux reflets orangés, limpide et couvert d’un filet de mousse qui disparait assez rapidement. Entrée de bouche bien alcoolisée avec une certaine amertume issue du bitter et des écorces d’orange sans que ces dernières y présentent leurs saveurs fruitées ou du moins, les mettent trop en évidence. On détecte bien le fond de caramel mais, c’est l’alcool et l’amertume qui demeurent prévalentes. On y détecte également quelques notes boisées et un fond terreux. L’accent est mis ici sur les adjuvants plutôt que sur les éléments classiques de la Dopplebock. La maturation en barrique de Whisky est mise de l’avant avec les écorces d’orange et le bitter à cocktail. J’aurais apprécié d’avantage si les éléments maltés avaient été plus en évidence.

Clean, golden colour with a frothy white cap, dissipating rather quickly and leaving just a little coat on the brew. Big sour, funky aromas with vinous notes of white grapes. The taste shows the sour-funkiness, but milder, with tropical fruit notes and hints of vanilla blending well. Easy-drinking, sour, fruity and all balanced by some vanilla-oak.

Lightly hazy, light beige-yellow colour with a big white frothy cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. Lemon zest aromas with some soft, oat-like yeast and some lemon juice as well giving hints of sourness. Refreshing, crisp enough mouthfeel with a mild dryness. A tad tart and bitterness. It has the feel of a light beer, but with still lots going on. Lemony flavours with the fruitiness and lingers just enough. Quite a nice refreshing, Farmhouse with good Citra hops.

Pours a clean darker brown colour with golden-ruby highlights, a frothy, slightly creamy warm-beige coloured head, decent stay and some nice sticky lacing. Roasted malt base aromas with light molasses, coffee and grassy hops. The taste is lightly milder, but the burnt barley comes out nicely and still, smooth. Feels more like a light stout, but with the proper alcohol content, so a nice Brown Ale that has a touch more kick.

Very lightly hazed, very light bright-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, decent staying and leaving some foamy spots of lacing. Big lemon, citrus aromas with the corriander, spicy nose and wheat blending banana-bubble gum hints. The flavours shows beautiful fresh herbal notes with the citrus well-balanced and a touch of spices. A lightly different Witbier, but with a bright nice touch that goes down well.

Clean, amber colour with a frothy-creamy, light-beige head, good retention and lots of foamy-sticky lacing. Aromas of darker, dried fruits with a caramel malt base and hints of bubblegum. Darker cereal malt flavours with some light nuttiness, and some decent hops in the finish. This cuts the thickness and add a nice dry end. Some nice toastiness throughout, but the sweet Twizzlers note are a little different.

Lightly unfiltered, golden colour with slow, tiny bubble carbonation. The head is white, long lasting and leaving some thick, creamyish lacing. I get the spicy, Belgian yeast nose, but what goes over it... is the hop grassiness, and almost giving a strong peppery scent. The herbal, grassy hops continues in the taste. It does seem to blend a little better after breathing with the sugars and hints of banana, breadiness. Lightly silky mouthfeel and decent dryness. Not sure what kind of hops are used here, but they are a little too grassy to fit the style. Still a good drinking, stronger ale, but a tad unbalanced for a Belgian one.
