19/2/2024. Bottle from Left Field Beer. Gusher. Pours slightly hazy chestnut brown with a modest short lasting creamy off-white to beige head. Aroma is malty, caramel, bready, dried fruits, brown sugar, yeast, touch of spice. Quite sweet initially, some bitterness develops, becoming well balanced. Medium to full bodied, smooth, light prickly carbonation. Aside from the theatrics on opening, this was enjoyable.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 08.02.2020) im 2023-11 getrunken. Bei diesen dunklen Belgier hat die ürsprüngliche Süsse komplett abgebaut und es wirkt irgendwie Körperlos bzw. unstimmig. Sicher kein schlechtes Bier aber es hat die lange Lagerung nicht so gut überstanden. Komischerweise schaffen andere Belgier eine solche lange Lagerung und werden so deutlich besser als frisch abgefüllt. Nun ja das Gran Cru gehört nicht dazu. Schade!

500ml bottle, No. 231 @ Christmas tasting in blackhaddock's beer cave. Pours deep dark brown, small off-white head. Aroma of Belgian candy sugar, gentle cognac influence. Flavour profile reveals a lovely deep sweet toffee character with a cloak of cognac adding a welcome depth. A lovely beer this.

Christmas Gathering, 18th December 2023. 5 guys at my gaff drinking beer and talking bollocks. 500ml bottle, number 231 of 952 produced. Dark brown and lush, wispy off-white head. The Cognac comes through loud and clear within the already lovely base beer, malty, rich and lovely.

En copa borgoña, color oro anaranjado, nebulosa, con destellos al trasluz amarillo vivo, espuma blanca lino bien conservada, en la copa que he elegido tiene un aspecto muy bonito. Emana un aroma vivo y seductor, levadura belga, malta, naranja madura, albaricoque, especias... En boca es tan elegante como robusta, tiene buen toque dulce, amargor medio y un interesante final especiado. También es algo seca y licorosa. Sin duda una cerveza sexy y atractiva. Muy rica.

En tulipa, color ámbar anaranjado, muy turbia, espuma blanca poco duradera. En nariz notas de levadura, cítricos, especias, paja... En boca tiene cuerpo ligero, bastante carbonatada, algo pungente, primer trago ligeramente cítrico, con marcadas notas de levadura, cereal, pan, pimienta. Final seco, algo astringente, ligeramente ácido y especiado/picante. Tiene su punto interesante, aunque no me fascina.
