Blond color, big head. Light aroma; corn. Simple taste, with some sweetness, malt. Simple palate, getting a bit more bitter only very late.

Brown body, nice tan head. Aroma was faint but sweet. Flavor was strong caramel, toffee, and some sweet dry fruit notes before the beer warmed. Tasty.

Bottled. Nut brown. Funky, lightly estery malt aroma. Dry and grassy, medium bodied, notes of berries. Bitterish finish with some honey.

A dark brown beer with a small fast disappearing head. The aroma is slight with notes of sweet malt and brewmash. The flavor is thin though sweet, prickling your tongue and has hints of black currant. It has next to no bitterness. A boring beer - try Ch'ti ambree instead.

An amber beer with a fine but fast disappearing head. The aroma is sweet with notes of strawberries, fruit, and red currant. The flavor is a dry sweetness with a lot of nuacesses: strawberries, red currant, other berries, and earth. It is only slightly bitter but more dry and acidic in the aftertaste. A really good beer.

Very dark brown. Brown head, creamy, not very stable. Nose of brown sugar and mocca. Taste is expressly liquorice and malt sugar, maybe again some mocca. Seems poorly attenuated. Watery mouthfeel, despite the malt. Aftertaste = liquorice. it is strange. Northern France is riddled with good bière de garde producers. The two topmost famous (Bénifontaine and la Choulette) brew piss-poor examples, yet everybody seems to swear by them.

A yellow beer with an OK head. The aroma is is sweet with a nice malt nose. The flavor is primarily sweet with not enough bitterness to balance it.

I already knew the French were not very good in brewing, but this cannot be called an "abbey tripel". It's a disgrace for all those quality triples, which are available around the globe. This is definitely more like a cheap pilsener. Hoppy and a bit sweet. Watery. Like the Fischer, another example of a french masterpiece ;-)

Golden color. Some malt, hop and cork in the nose (it's a 750ml bottle, corked). Sweet, good body strength, some malt, some cork. Not impressive.
