Huge, yellowish head over yellow-golden beer with foxy highlights. Herbal, grassy and slight caramel notes. All pretty classical and nothing repulsive. Bit of mustard powder. Marzipan flavour, slight caramel, quite malty with coloured malts. My wife complains of a metallic taste, but I cannot trace that. Retronasal very perfumed, as something floating in the "Body Shop" or a new age store. Slightly sticky MF, bit fizzy. Medium bodied at best. "They dared to!" were my first thoughts upon spotting this bottle. IMO, the worst brewery in this country, attacking the most traditional style. Having tasted it, it is not so bad. Which is why it is possibly brewed at Du Bocq?

Draught Red-amber, hazy; small white head. Again a bit of almonds, perfumed, and very estery. Sweet, an almondy, trrible, higher fusels. Sticky, oily, only to be relieved by more nauseating almondy-marzipan-frangipane. IMO, this must be amongst the worst breweries in existence.

Draught Pale amber with very little off-white head. Almondy nose to the point of nauseating, like a fresh almond cake dressing. Tastes like a decoction of very cheap almond brandy. Traces of iron in the aftertaste., while retronasal, there’s an onslaught of caramel (with almonds).This is a caricature of a beer.

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy mahogany with a creamy, beige head. Distinct aroma of licorice. Lightly sweet, roasted malt and spices - but everything is completely overpowered by the licorice. Vague tartness. Quite a lovely winter beer. 261205

Draught at Kerstbierfestival 2005, Essen, Belgium
Light, clear body. Cask wood aroma. Lightly sweet flavour, very watery. Lightly to medium bodied. It appears as they somehow get hold of a good recipe for their regular beers, but can’t manage to create new good beers theirselves.

Bottled Murky brown body. Brown, fizzy head. Coffee aroma. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly sweet finish. They have a good recipe for their regular beers, but aparentky they lack the knwoledge of making new beers as good as their regulars.

Bottled. Pinkish red colour, with huge bubbly head. Soapy, artificial fruity/berryish aroma and flavour. Liquid chewing gum might also be true. Pure crap, and horrible in most ways. Watery.
