Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Ambery brown colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is dark dry fruits, some toffee, mild roasted notes as well as quite wooden notes. Flavour is roasted malts, some toffee, roasted notes, mild metal as well as wood and some caramel. Actually old ale is a quite good categorization for this Belgian beer...

Bottled (6.3%). Goldenish orange colour with huge fluffy head. Aroma is very fruity, yeasty and also a bit alcoholic. Flavour is fruit, yeast, earth along with some mild spicing. Aftertaste is mainly yeast, earth and sweet fruits. Quite simple, but wellbalanced and refreshing.

33cl Bottle, thanks Harmen! ABV 6.8%. Clear brown colour, disappearing fizzy off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, berries, light tart, chocolate, malts. Flavour is light sour, dark fruits, malts, oxidization, light spicy, sour finish. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Infected? Or intended as a Flemish red ale?

Bottled, alc. 6.3% (BB 12/2005)
Golden yellow, good white head. Fruity, sweetish and yeasty nose. Also some dry hops found - similar to some Czech pilseners. Perfectly carbonated refreshing mouthfeel. Citric, grassy hoppy, finishing with sweet maltyness, moderate oily bitterness in the aftertaste. Very enjoyable and refreshing blonde.

Bottled 330ml alc. 6.8% (Beer Planet, BB ?)
Dark nut brown color, small beige head. Aroma of raisins, dark malts, slight oxidation (balsamico). Medium-bodied. Caramelly with some malty and sherryish notes. Lingering sweetness in the aftertaste. I could guess that this is an aged bottle, and nice one.

Bottled 330ml "Malmedy Black" (Beer Planet, BB 11/2011)
Almost opaque dark brown color, thick creamy beige head. Nose has some lemony hoppyness, fruits and malts, but it is quite faint aroma in this beer. Medium-bodied, palate is even watery. Light coffeish notes, berries (strawberry), malts and milk. Finish is a bit lactosy like in some milk stout. Interesting Belgian, but could be more powerful.

Note: the Cuvée Spéciale is being seen as an aliassed beer, so at the bottom my rating for that one.

23/08/2010 - 33cl @ home

Pours a very darkbrown beer (I wouldn't say black though) with fine light beige and creamy head. Aroma is coffee, burned caramel, chocolate and some smoke. Taste is sweet (sweeter than you would've guessed from the aroma) with caramel and dark chocolate. Aftertaste is mocha with some sour at the back of the tongue.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruits, especially peaches, and light notes of yeast. The flavor is very sweet and very fruity again peaches being strongest.
