330mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden with a medium beige head. Nose brings out a wonderfully creamy piney hops character, with a touch of a farmhouse character. Flavour follows accordingly, mixing piney hops and farmhouse yeast together beautifully. Yeasty, in good way, and piney, with an above-average carbonation, gives way to a complex and highly drinkable beer. Excellent.

330mL bottle at Le 100 de Beri, pours black with a tiny head. Nose brings out earthy coffee notes and medium roast. Flavour is punchy, with fairly subdued coffee notes, and a touch of spiciness. Medium roastiness to it, but there doesn't appear to be some spiciness to the coffee. Fairly light-bodied for an impie, but it works well. Good stuff.

Bottle at La 100 de Beri, pours black with a medium rich light brown head. Aroma brings out harsh hops, roasted malt and some alcohol. Flavour is quite abrasive, with intense roasted malt, caramel, alcohol and some astringency from the hops. It smelled a little off, but the taste delivers. Nice stuff.

On tap at Beer O'Clock 2, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out cocoa, licorice and some toasted malt. Flavour is fairly dry, with toasted malt, licorice and a hint of cocoa. Light and fluffy on the palate. Decent stuff.

On tap at Fabrica de Bere Buna, pours a cloudy copper amber with a small white head. Aroma smells quite English, with bready caramel and light English hops. Flavour is intensely bitter, with metallic notes, English bready malt and bittering hops. I don't understand the high ratings for this - very metallic and bitter, without much depth.
