Little cloudy amber to orange beer, creamy solid beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, bit sweet, caramel, rural, cow fodder. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet malts, caramel, grains, bit sugary. Aftertaste: malty, grains, hay, cow fodder, caramel, more malts.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Brussels, 25 Oct 2014) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly smoky nose with notes of buttered popcorn, dried fruit and a touch of smoked malt. Malty, smoky taste with canned fruit, smoked ham, popcorn, apricots and a slight acidity. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Smoky and fruity, with a touch of popcorn - weird, but tasty. Quite nice.

@ Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Redbrown colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of red berries, red wine, vinegar and subtle smoke. Well balanced, easy drinkable. Very good.

On tap at Biercab. Dark brown colour with tan head. Wood, malt aroma. Acid, wood, malt, fruity taste, slightly smoked. Medium body.

Amber color with small head. smoky tea in the aroma, but not aggressive. More tea than smokey malt. light body, a little bit of malt body, low carbonation. Interesting.

@Moeder Lambic - cloudy dark brown beer with a long lasting beige foam; light initial woody notes, fairly malty tones under the tea; fresh with notes of red fruit marmalade (don’t really feel the smokyness); medium to full-bodied; velvety and tasty; moderate carbonation, long finish of tea, red fruits and more woody notes; the smoke is more apparent in the finish where light corny tones can also be met - elegant

On tap @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas during St-Bon-Chien World Tour. Hazy/murky dark amber/orange with a medium beige head and little lacing. Aroma is mild with smoked tea (less than the regular version), light peated notes and floral presence. Taste is also of smoked/peated notes with a light acidic presence from the barrel that doesn’t hinder the beer but doesn’t enhance it either. Light body (a tad lighter than the regular one). Moderate carbonation. It’s a good beer but I prefer the regular one because the barrel hide the smoke component a little and make the mouthfeel thinner and less creamy. Still tasty and drinkable.
