0.33L bottle, brought home from El Corte Inglés, Lisboa. A noisy pour, leaving a tall big-bubbled coarse blond head, which fades in seconds. Body is unclear orangey brown, with tiny bubbles rising from the bottom. Smells nice, and very unusual. A nice floral, fruity and and perfumey smell. Probably from the Gentian root added. Also a scent of toffee and gently sweet malts. Taste is dry/sweet light malty with marzipan tones, and a strange but inviting bitter-ish floral and fruity note. A quinine-like bitterness. Light in body for a 7.2 percent beer. Sparkling mouthfeel. Finishes fruity with a fresh bitterness. Beyond interesting! Good drinkability. Inviting and moreish. A nice experience.

Bottle 3 years old
Cloudy amber color; presence of yeast under the cap and inside the bottle neck (the bottle has been standing, undisturbed, for years). The aroma present some characterial yeast, light herbs and spices, very light sourness. Smooth mouthfeel (it still has a nice carbonation), with some caramel flavor and a light herbal background; there is some fruity trait, pleasant; the bitterness is low. Pleasant Ale, with some Belgian influences, but also a mild herbal and spicy character.

Bottle 75 cl. RBESG Rome 2010. Hazy amber golden with floating impurities and an off-white head. Caramel, fruit and a little yeast in the nose. Quite full-bodied, lots of fruit and caramel. Some alcohol in the finish. Pleasant and quaffable. 030610

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a thick and tan head. Aroma is fruity yeasty, dark malty and caramelish. Yet also a bit sharp phenolic. Dense caramelish, malty and Belgian yeast fruity - much like Westvletern/Westmalle. Lasting authentic Belgian into the finish, yet again a bit too strong on the more sharp phenolic notes.

Bottled@blindtasting at fonefan. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is fruits, caramel malts, mild sweet wooden notes as well as some herbal notes. Flavour is fruits, wood, toffee, yeast and grass. Mild liquorice as well.

Bottle. Color dark amber with medium white head. Aroma malt, caramel, fruity, spicy, hop. Taste sweet, malt, caramel, spicy.

Color ambrato carico, con schiuma poco persistente. Aroma di frutta matura, leggermente speziato e con sentori di terra. In bocca il dolciastro iniziale, lascia spazio a un discreto finale amarognolo, ma persistente.
