Quite cloudy.Rich oaky vanilla aroma with a touch of lemons beneath. Complex oaky, lemony flavours with a certain caramel sweetness. Body is light and flat as appropriate. A world classic.
On draught at Bruxellensis. 18 months old. Amber with almost no head, just a few bubbles alongside the glass. Vinous aroma, remniscent of port- rich, sweet and fruity. Plums and raisins. Complex flavours of raisins, sour fruit, dry wood and vanilla. No carbonation, medium body. A treat that is hard to come by. 8-3-8-4-17=4
JoeinUccle (715), Brussels, Belgium Aug 7, 2008 Following multiple samples over two years at 3 Fonteinen restaurant and most recently at Spinnekopke. Dark orange-copper color. Smells like a bunch of musty lemons crammed into some old gym socks. Somehow I’ve grown to love that, although I certainly didn’t the first time. Now the lemon comes out more in the aroma, adding refreshment while the funk adds character. Soft carbonation from acidity. Sour and lightly bitter. Bright, lively and intense. lassem (136), Copenhagen, Denmark Jul 31, 2008 Bottle 35 cl - stamped 17/02 2006.
This bottle was almost impossible to open - probably because of no carbonation.
Pours a hazy deep golden yellow that is quite similar (without other comparences) morning urine. No head.
The nose is fresh and clear with notes of green grapes, peach among other fruits. The palate is also fresh but a little waterish with an oily and sparkling finishing feeling. The flavour is sour, but mild and round and i taste peaches, pomelos, butter,and grains. Easy to dring
