Barbar Belgian Honey Ale

Brewed by Brasserie Lefebvre
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Rebecq-Quenast, Belgium

Bottle, 0,25l. Pours with a huge head that stays a long time. Very exquisite aroma of flowers. The taste is surprisingly hoppy, and that makes this beer feel fresh. The honey cane be felt more strongly in the finish. A beer for my girl.

Bottle. Clear dull copper pour, eggshell head. Smells very sweet and floral with coriander, sugar, and subtle honey. Also notes of yeast and funk. Taste is thankfully less sweet with alcohol and the back end. Honey also shines through nicely. Coriander, yeast, and what I identify as candy sugar / kandis. Much hoppier and dryer than I’d expected. Ingredients roll-call lists curaçao. Mouthfeel is a little harsh, other than that, high marks for character.

this beer was fantastic. the great taste hides the 8%. honey aroma, honey taste with plenty of citrus. they taste so good you have to keep count on how many you go through.

Hazy yellow coloured, with some light carbonation and an average white head. Some sweet spicy-herby aroma, rather malty with some lighter hoppy hints. Medium body. Finish is more sweeter, little bitter and spicy. Some light alcoholic touches. Not bad, special one.

Draught at Waterhuis. Dark golden/copper with a white head, mostly diminishing, good lacings. Aroma moderate/heavy malty (honey), moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate/heavy sweet, moderate bitter. Not harmonic. Medium body, oily, soft carbonated.

Nice little blonde... Almost feels like a mini-Fin du monde with an added twist of honey. Not bad...

I, and not my wife, ordered this one. I was surprised at just how much honey I could taste. The sweetness and freshness of the honey made the beer different and it probably helped that I had this one in place of dessert at De Beiaard.

Bottle (from Bitter Virtue). Spicy alcohol, sweet malts and enjoyable fruitiness. Not a huge depth of flavour but fairly drinkable for a strong beer.
