0.75l bottle courtesy of my mate Emil who got it in Besançon (huge thanks!). Shared with heavy and ogivlado. Opaque brown body.... Coffee mainly in the aroma, mild, very very light tartness, some hop, peachy. Light peachiness in the taste on a heavy malty background, quite light herbal notes. Nice light roastiness. Slightly warming too. Overall a nice beer indeed.

Bottle at La Cave à Bulles, Paris; "old" bottle, but still bb 2/2013
Hazy blond color; creamy head. The aroma is a bit skunky, with light sourness. Dry mouthfeel, it still ha some good malt and cereal qualities, but the hop is gone; correct bitterness.

Had this from bottle at Vilvordia Bier Proef Festival, Jette, Brussels, Belgium Sat 24th March 2012 with Loz and in company of Simon, Jackie & David Pours gold with a slight haze. This is wonderfully hoppy, really strung out hoppiness and bitterness, bags of citrus, punchy, moreish, I had another. Possibly beer of the festival for me. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Bottle @ VBPF’12. Dorée claire, col épais blanc. Arôme est bien houblonné et une bouquet herbacé vers une agrume/citronnelle laissant percé une pointe d’amertume. En bouche, je retrouve plus une ESB que une IPA ou pire, une IIPA. Le profile est fruité sur une note tropicale légère qui se termine en amertume. Citron, herbacé avec en retrait un malt pâle/cara, le tout étant épais en fin de bouche.

Dense yellowish head over faintly veiled orange-yellow beer. Citrussy nose, grains, white candi sugar, garden herbs, but demure. Quite bitter, vegetable bitterness as from very shortly wokked green veggies; slightly spiced, citrus and hops. Spritzy; light to medium bodied, long bitter-hoppy aftertaste. Nice, refreshingly bitter, but to call this a double IPA, is really stretching it... Grand merci à Jean H!
