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.

Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 14, 2008
Bottled. An amber beer with chunks of yeast floating around under a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, citrus, and yeast. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bread, and fruit as well as a light touch of spices - among them black peber, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 24, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) My version from "Brouwerij Biertoren" in Kampenhout that went out of business in 1993. Now the beer is brewed in a similar version by Huyghe. Very dark golden, opaque with some impurities and bottle fermentation. Very full-bodied, dry and easy to drink. Nice alright, but nothing spectacular. 260994

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.

oh6gdx (15509) - Vasa, FINLAND - SEP 27, 2008
Bottled. Amber colour, with particles floating around. Mediumsized beigeish foamy head, some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, mild fruityness, some mild alcohol and a bit yeasty. Flavour is much the same along with slight burning notes from a combination of spices and alcohol. Quite mouthdrying.

MiP (11254) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - APR 24, 2006
Bottle. BB DEC 04 (16 months past). Cloudy grey colour, lots of floaties. No head. Rather thin and watery. Slightly malty, oxidized flavour. Not peppery or strong. Rather weak tasting.
