Bottled, alc. 6.5%
I suppose that this the right one even it doesn’t mention "Cuvée Speciale": it is 6.5% and contains: "water, pilsmout, tarwemout, hop (challenger en ek goldings), korrelgist lesaffre T58". Hazy orange color, small white had. Perfumic hoppy aroma with hints of, leather an fruits. Medium-bodied. Dry, but fruity, some sourness, slightly cardboardish malty. Bitter, soapy aftertaste with touch of lemon.

Hazy orange color, huge cloudy, creamy off-white head, lace. Sour fruity aroma with horseblanket and paper. Fruity (mango, banana), bitter, alcoholic and yeasty flavor. Nice bitterness from the aromatic hops in the aftertaste. Warming too. Lot of yeast in the bottom of the glass.

Never seen so lively beer than this one. HUGE living brown head, creamy, cloudy and full of big bubbles, I wonder what super yeast they have used here. Beer itself is dark ruby. Aroma has chocolate, licorice and gingseng. Sticky mouthfeel. Ginger, gingseng, juniper, dark fruits, licorice and alcohol in the flavor. Some woody and earthy notes in the finish. Quite sweet beer with all kind of interesting spices.
