About
De brouwerij bestond onder de naam Artois sinds 1717 toen Sébastien Artois (1680-1727) de oude Leuvense brouwerij Den Hoorn overkocht. In 1988 kwam het tot een fusie van Artois met Brouwerij Piedbœuf. De groep kreeg de naam Interbrew.

Dark color, short brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, bread, rye. Unbalanced taste again, just like the pale ale, with a lot of malt, rye and bread. Dry palate.

An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is of straw and the flavor is sour and misses sweetness but is slightly hoppy.

Dark brown to black; huge brown head, reducing itself to 5mm rim. Liquorice, a bit flowery nose, further caramel syrup, very slightly roasted, sweet. Very scorched, dry, even smoked malt taste. A bit of (carbonised) bitterness, virtually no hops. The indication "sweet" stout is exaggerated - there's just a slight malt sweetness in the palate. In the finish, the remaining bitterness seems to turn slightly into an acidity, wheat-like. Mushroom aroma retronasal. Well-bodied, bit chewy, dry. Decent stout, after all.

On draught (pression) at Le Terminus de Mille in Paris. Golden blonde color with a medium white and bubbly head. Thin lacing. The aroma consists of mildly floral hops. Smooth body with a kind of weak hops flavor, along with a hint of malt. The finish is dry and lightly bitter. Nothing offensive here, just thoroughly average in every regard.

Pale yellow, foamy white head. Hoppy start, some bitter in the end. Tastes lame and metallic.

A dark orange beer with a small head. The aroma is slight but of hops. The flavor is slightly malty with notes of straw. A boring flavor. And the body is thin.

WAY overpriced import. Light golden yellow, small head... Appearances can be deceiving... and this one is, as it's the best thing about the beer. Not much of a smell... Taste... well, it reminded me too much of Corona with the lime added. I can't see playing $4.00 a bottle at the bar for this for the same taste as a crappy corona. Yea it's drinkable, but definitely not worth it. You want this taste? Get a corona. You want a good taste, get something else.
