Caulier Bon Secours Blonde de Noël

Brewed by Caulier
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Péruwelz, Belgium

Tasted this beer every year. Yesterday for the 3th time. Bottle, 33 cl. Hazy dark golden color with a white head. Aroma fruity, sweet malts, and notes of spice. Medium body. Taste = malts, sweet, fruits, cork, alcoholic, spices. Strong and full beer. Not bad.

3rd July 2008. Cloudy dark amber beer. Unusual. Sweet with nice fruit tones. Dry sweet creamy malt finish. Very flavoursome and a little of the beaten track.

33 cl bottle @ Kaisla Christmas Menu. The smell is heady, sweet and alcohol with some phenols - almost like a very organic apple cider. Warming taste, evident alcohol, yeast, and something sweet and tannic. Highly recommended.

Pours hazy amber with huge head. Sweet malty aroma with yeasty notes and fruits. Flavor is sweet, fruity with spicy notes and warming alcohol in the end. Finish is pretty dry. Balance is perfect.

Bottled. Golden coloured. Unclear. Dense off white head. Citrus, sweetness, spice, fruits and yeast in the aroma. Flavour is quite wheaty. Banana, citrus, yeast, spice and fruits. Is medium bodied. Quite dry. Grapish and spiced in the end. Has a sweet alcoholwarmth. My belgian beer no. 700 and a quite good one in my book.

A hazy blonde ale with almost no head. A nice fruity honey malt with yeast, amaretto, almonds, very nice. In mouth, a good malt with candy sugar, alcohol, orange peels, very nice. Medium bodied. Bieropholie import, BB Oct. 08.

From the other kp in GA. The pop on this bottle is ferocious. It pours with a vigorous head but it fades fast into just a decent head, just bubbly (not foamy). The color is a thick golden with some clarity. Aroma is weird, it’s a mix of beautiful floral yeasitness with a honey and spoiled milk/vomit... yeah like I said, weird. On the bright side it is a sweet, faintly chocolate, nice type of spoiled milk/vomit. Taste is lower on that weird aspect, just an ester and sweet brew. It seems there is a honey gone awry aspect here. Makes it a bit too sweet and a bit too, well, honey, espesically with all the esters. Its fine, yet over-the-top. A lightly thicker feel but enough carbonation to offset it. A long sweet, honey-ish, and cocoa aftertaste. Its rough around the edges, but for a light colored beer I feel this could age a little bit. There is a bit of alcohol heft to it. Later pours give it a much larger head and a thicker, dirtier color.
33cl, flip top bottle, dated BB D/2009, Bell’s tulip glass.

Bottled. Hazy nutbrown colour with sediments floating around. Big white creamy head, which leaves lacing. Strong alcohol and sour apple in aroma. Almost like vodka mixed with sour applejuice. Flavour almost the same, but the yeast in it smoothens the sweet alcohol out a bit. Warming alcohol alone in finish though. Aftertaste becomes more to the sour appleish. Also some spices as it gets a bit warmer. Quite nicely balanced as for the flavour, but the aroma is not the best in my opinion.
