Bottle from La Cave à Bulles. Dark brown color with a good tan head. Incredibly rich chocolate aroma. Less than medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is real chocolate over darkly roasted malt. There is some sort of zing in it. Coffee, tobacco, something. A peppy porter or a thin stout is more like it. Ran out and got a chocolate cookie. This stuff is really good with a chocolate desert.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles. Pours hazy amber with a sparse white head. Fruity aromas. Near medium body with very mild carbonation. Lightly spicey and peppery. Seems a bit oily. Very different and very drinkable.

Light gold with a foamy white head. Aromas of citrus and light fruit. Full bodied with foamy carbonation. Flavor is rich malt and a touch of vinosity. The "meatiest" wit I can recall. Good beer.

Botttle from Ledger’s Liquor in Berkeley, CA. Hazy orange yellow color. White head. Slightly funky citric aroma. Medium bodied. Mild funk. Grassy, spicey hop over biscuit. Quite tasty. A delight. (maybe this stuff improves when it flies over the pond, or the process improved over the last four years)

(75 cl bottle brought home from Paris by my mom, isn’t that sweet? ;-)) Light shady golden color, frizzy white head. When the sediment is poured the look turns greyish. Yeasty, sweet, malty, corn, sugar, spicy (choriander?) scent. After a while the scent gets tones of anis/licorice. Sweet yeasty, spicy (again, choriander?) taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Low to no aftertaste.

A hazy orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of grapes. The flavor is also sweet, but with primary notes of wheat.

Very fluffy white head, upheld by high carbonation in hazy beer, colour of unripe peach. End of bottle nearly solid flunk. Coriander & faint citrus, textbook, an a light salty (iodium?) whiff. Very high coriander level, getting the beer soupy, little citrus. Sweetness underneath, even a bit liquorice-like. Wheat acidity comes out stronger warming up. Wheat slickness, light to medium bodied, carbonation makes it nearly fizzy. A weak-tasting, flunky Hoegaarden made in Normandy. I utterly fail to see the point. How many in Leuven are making Camembert?

Slight funky, very carbonated red-brown beer, under irregular yellow-amberish fine & dense head. Chalk, perfumed, roasted malts, faint dry - hoppy nose. Coloured, roasted & ambrée malts, sweet cookies, with a faint bitterish hoppy background, and a dry spicey finish. Rather aggressive roasted/burnt MF at first. Once one is used to this, one perceives a rather well-bodied beer with grist slickness. Not bad at all. Surprisingly well-bodied and a good balance. Given 7% ABV, I’d even qualify it as dangerously drinkable. Thanks, Marcus.
