Caulier Bon Secours Ambrée

Brewed by Caulier
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Péruwelz, Belgium

[Sampled in 2005 in Lundeborg bought at Rob in Hesselager.] A bomb in the party. Lots of notes such as spices, yeast, dried fruits and with a soft, acidity palate. Also notes of something rouge! Really great!!!

Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. Hazy amber, explosive huge rocky head. Yeasty black currant aroma. Bittersweet and somewhat fruity, lively carbonation with a dense core of malt undernetah. Notes of bready malt, kiwi fruits and winegum as well as flowery hops. Piney and spritzy. A pleasant gently warming complex summer rains beer.

Bottle.33cl. Opened with a huge pop, and it kept comming. Nice but strong alkohol aromas, Amber color. despite the alkohol, it has a weak body.(_)

Brown bottle, 33 cl, best before 01/09; eye: burnt orange, voluminous and creamy white head, hazy, suspended matter, light effervescence, light lacing; nose: prior to opening the bottle, it smells exactly like where you pile up all of your bad beers, surprisingly, odours are faint, Belgian yeast, fruity, really light wood and cigar; mouth: waiting time, nothing is going on, then grainy malt, arrival of the alcohol that will not leave after that, a thiny presence of caramel can be tasted as well, finale in alcohol that is quite strong, medium body, alcoholic texture; overall: good but a bit one-dimensional (alcohol) FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, meilleure avant 01/09; oeil : orange brulée, mousse blanche crémeuse et abondante, voilée, matières en suspension, légère effervescence; nez : avant d’ouvrir la bouteille, ça sent la robine, curieusement après ça, ce sont des odeurs légères, levure belge, fruitée, très léger boisé et cigare; bouche : période d’attente, rien ne se passe, puis malt granuleux, apparation de l’alcool qui ne quittera plus par la suite, un petit filet discret de caramel peut être entreperçue, finale en alcool assez forte, très carbonatée, corps moyen, texture alcoolique; en résumé : bonne mais un peu trop unidimensionnel (alcool)

At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Pours amber orange in color with a poofy white head that erodes but leaves light lacing. Aroma is fruity, but flavor is way more tart-sour than I expected. The finish yields a citrus-like taste that usually comes from wheat beers and a residual alcohol burn.
