Flaska från Saveur-bier. Skummar ut flaskan, stort långsamt sjunkande skum. Småbubblig i munnen, som alla belgiska stouts. Lätt kropp, lätt sötma och men också riktigt torr p g a rejäl beska. Stora rostade dofter som inte är lika markanta i smaken. Mörkt bröd, med lite vaxig honung, aska, läder, hårdrostat kaffe, torr bitter choklad. Lite felsmaker i bakgrunden men annars trevlig.

Flaska från Saveur-Biere. Skummar lätt ur flaskan, murrig brun färg, mycket disig. Söt maltig doft med mycket bakjäst. Känns inte riktigt utjäst, söta murrig smaker av degspad och karamell. Bakom det finns en fin fruktighet med söta röda plommon och torkade aprikoser och på slutet en lätt beska. Stilmässigt kanske en belgisk amber, typ. Inte klockren men fruktigheten var trevlig.

Deep ruby-tinted amber and copper coloured body with only a thin, oily and large-bubbled tan head. Aroma of some light brett, bunches of malt and only a bit of sugars from caramel and light fruit - none of the deep pit fruit and complex sugars usually associated with the style. Full-bodied; Rich sweet malt flavour with an earthy vibe and a lot of unfinished caster sugar and apricot tastes along with a hint of grapes and a good hit of alcohol on the finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of sugars with malt and some light fruit noticeable, but not complex at all. Overall, a decent barley wine with some good flavours, but nothing like a complex english or american barley wine - this is more simplistic and sweet, but a decent option if looking for something stronger here in Belgium. I sampled this funny shaped 37,5 cL bottle purchased from Delices & Caprices in Bruxelles, Belgium on 14-August-2013 for €4,00 sampled at home in Washington after just returning from another trip to the Belgian capital on 25-January-2015.

(Bottle, Brasserie Lombard, Brussels, 22 Oct 2014) Dark golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head, leaving traces of lacing. Fruity, malty nose with bread, grass, citrus and apricots. Malty, fruity taste with notes of bread, peaches, grainy malt and a grassy bitterness in a dry finish with a touch of lemon. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh and tasty. Nice one.

Flaska från Etre Gourmet. En lite sötare trippel som ändå har tillräcklig beska för att balansera väl. Krämigt skum och munkänsla och inte alls så stickig och småbublig som tripplar ofta är. Blommig med hibiskus, apelsinblommor och nektar och lite lagom sötestrig, jäst, syltade apelsinskal, rostade kastanjer (påminner lite om kastanjeöl jag druckigt), smörkakor. Trevlig trots att den kanske var lite väl söt.
