(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with an orange hue and a creamy, beige head. Aroma of vanilla, roasted malts and nuts. Quite solid in the body with plenty of roasted malts, nuts and fruity accents. The finish is dry yet with a subdued bitterness. A beer that slowly opens and reveals itself in the most pleasant way. 130208

(Can 44 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a dense, creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma of vanilla and roasted malt. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with sweetish, roasted malt accents, some nuts and vanilla. Almost no bitterness. Almost too pale to be a Porter - almost closer to an ESB! But highly drinkable. 130208

(Can 44 cl) Clear amber golden with a small, creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma of fruit and a little caramel. Medium body with very fruity accents and a little caramel without being sweet. Dry and hoppy finish. This is far from being an IPA, but it’s actually a rather drinkable Pale Ale. 150208 (On tap) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Lightly nutty aroma. A little thin in the body. Weak notes of caramel and a whiff of nuts. Dry, lightly hoppy finish. A bit boring. 5/3/4/3/10=2.5 090208

(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Very perfumy aroma but not in an unpleasant way. Medium body with notes of someting mostly reminding me of dry white wine with a vague, fruity sweetness. The finish is dry with a subdued bitterness. A decent Wheat. 090208 (Can 44 cl) Pours a clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Lightly tart, white wineish aroma. Light in body with fruity grape notes and a small whiff of yeast. Rather dry and somewhat astringent, bitter finish. Very drinkable and quenching for a style that rarely gives you the most overwhelming experiences. 5/2/5/2/10= 2.4 150208
