COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ce fut aussi l'une des bières brassées à la brasserie brabançonne "De Biertoren". Elle reflète de l'esprit estudiantin de la région de Leuven, mais déjà à un stade de fin d'études. Cette bière ambrée très mure laisse apparaître un ton presque mielleux balancé avec un fruité discret ainsi qu'un malt bien présent. Son amertume sans retrouve arrondie, lui donnant des allures d'une bière douce et facile. Elle est toutefois très capricieuse, et maligne en conclusion par un ton plus de caramel amer et sec. Tout à l'image de son étiquette, elle possède un superbechapeau de mousse régénéré par un perlé vivace et permanent.

Bottle: Poured a sediment filled brown with off white creamy head. The aroma is sweet with spices. Taste is caramel with a sweetness to it. There is this drying of the tongue.

Bosskie (213) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 26, 2008
Bottle, but I can’t remember where I drank this :-) Appearance: weak head which dies quite quickly. Burnt sienna colour. Aroma: burnt sugar, sugarcane, winy, cherry, alcohol sweetness. Reminds me of cherry beers. Dark, woody, chocolate sourness with hints of cherry-sweetness. Bit like one of those bonbons with a cherry inside. Interesting! Nice!

omhper (15594) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - FEB 9, 2008
Bottled. Amber colour, no head, some sediment. Fruity and caramelly with dextrose and glue. Really sweet with medium body. Sticky and simple. Seemingly brewed from syrup and dextrose only.

BartC (513) - Lichtaart, BELGIUM - JUL 2, 2007
Dark amber beer. Huge creamy light brown lasting head. A lot of carbonation. Very fruity aroma of oranges, but these oranges disappear after a time and are replaced by prunes and raisins. Also the taste reveals some fruitiness. Again prunes and raisins in combination with some nice long lasting bitterness. A very nice beer!

Jerre (2166) - Waregem, BELGIUM - JUN 3, 2007
Bottle, 33 cl. (kBW Vichte yesterday). Light amber color with white head. Aroma spices, malt sweet. Medium body. I like more the early version from Kampenhout years ago. Tatse is now sweet, malty, thin as yaers before.
