Throwdown. Spicy and floral aroma with ginger, and perhaps gardenia. Sweet and spicy, with caramel and bread, a touch tart. Really characterful and fun. Would love to get more of this!

Goût de levures fruitées aux faibles notes sûres (agrumes sucrées, moyen de pêche, léger de bananes, notes de pommes) accompagné d’un goût assez épicé (coriandre, moyen de clou de girofle), de notes de vanille et de traces de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de céréales fraîches, de blé, moyen-léger de sucre bonbon ainsi qu’un léger goût de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une moyenne-légère amertume assez asséchante de houblon herbeux (herbes fraîches et notes de foin) et légèrement floral avec un goût de levures épicées (légèrement poivré) et des notes d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen-long et sec, moyen-léger amer de houblon floral et herbeux, de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, pelures de bananes et de pommes, noyau de pêche), moyen de blé et avec des notes d’alcool (notes de coriandre toujours présentes).

Huge fine off-white head over very carbonated orange beer. Bubblegum, white candi sugar, bananaester, orange peel and a bit of hops all the same. Hops and noble ones, bit of cardboard and grapefruit. A little bit of sweet, probably more from the alcohol than from restsugars. Very good balance! Well-bodied, but not thick. Alcoholwarming. I had expected even more hops, but I have to admit that the balance is impressive, which might have been harmed with more C-hops. Not a big, but a great beer. Vraiment, merci mille fois, Sylvain!

Bottle: Poured a deep clear brown color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and some nice lacing. Aroma of spices (anis) with great Belgian malt touch with some light sweet notes also noticeable. Taste is dominated by anis with some creamy sweet caramel Belgian malt some light spicy notes. Full body with great creamy texture and some perfect carbonation with no apparent alcohol. The only negative point that I could notice is that spices tends to be too heavy at some point but apart from that everything is perfect.

Bottle: Poured a deep lightly cloudy golden color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with perfect retention and some great lacing. Aroma of West Coast hops with some notes of citrus and grapefruit and some nice floral notes can also be detected. Taste is perfect balance between some light sweet Belgian malt with huge notes of floral hops with notes of grapefruit. Full body with a somewhat creamy texture with some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoyed how the hops presence brought aromatic notes but left a light controlled bitterness. As much as I had enjoyed the Chouffe Houblon I believe this one is even more enjoyable.

Bottled. An unlcear deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of anise and corriander as well as notes of oranges. The flavor is also very spicy again anise and coriander are the strongest on a very sweet back ground with strong notes of caramel, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks David, Rastacouere, for bringing this to Denmark.

A dark honey amber ale with a thick lacing off white head. A perfumey peachy hops aroma, with notes of mandarine. In mouth, a resinous hops with biscuitty malt, sustained bitterness and grapefruit. Lighter than expected but very nice. On tap at Vices et Versa, Oct. 7, 2007.

Bottle at LCRBM3. Decent wit aroma. I like it, does what you want. Some chemical does come through, like TCP/Savlon. Odd.
