750 ml corked bottle, bought in France.
Golden nearly clear colour, large lasting white head. Pleasant flowery and fruity aroma, also notes of honey and leather. Flavour is spicy and somewhat alcoholic, with a peppery finish. Well worth sampling.

1 litre bottle from Franglais, Calais. Golden beer with fluffy white head. Yeast, hoppy bière de garde aroma. OK in mouth, some boiled sweet flavours and then a hoppy finish. Went well with the roast chicken I was eating at the time.

Sampled this from a bottle at a beer tasting event at The Rover in Gothenburg January 14, 2006.Golden color, very acid scent and flavor, refreshing and quite nice. Could think that it would suit well in the picnic basket a warm summer evening.7/3/7/4/14=3.5

Rather well-aged bottle Well carbonated, old gold coloured beer; fluffy, stable white head. Vaguely nutty, cervil or parsley aroma, something salty as oyster juice, delicate for such a massive beer. Sweet taste, cookies & nutty, candy sugar abundant in the finish, even syrup. Not delicate in any way any longer. Yet some whiffs of a good, but very sweet brandy-based liqueur. Thick, syrupy MF, though not unpleasant. Age as done marvels for this. It has rounded most of its raw, sharp, uncouth edges - though it couldn’t cure all the sugar...

BottleGolden amber, tanned creamy lacing head. Spicy, herbal nose. Sugary, light spicy sweet, light perfumed. Medium body. Fruity aftertaste. Would have been good with a few more years lagering.

Muddy light blond color. Washing water, with some citrus fruits. Completely wrong flavors, some residual sweetness, some citrus, no malt, no bitterness. Very bad!
