The aroma is sweet malty with clear notes of yeast. The color is a hazy dark amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is malty and complex with caramel and yeast. The alcohol runs prickling over the tongue and gives it a good mouthfeel. A lovely beer.

33 cL bottle. Pours deep reddish with a crispy and dense slight orange head. Aroma is dark malty, sweet and complex yeasty spiced. Heavy carbonation. Strong fruity and alcohol lifted initial flavour. Followed by a thick roasted and cane sugarish flavour. Has a nice blend between sour and sweet notes. Warming finish in which the dark malt notes keep lingering.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish brown with a huge, frothy head. Very soft mouthfeel from the low carbonation and a slightly acidic nose. The beer doesn’t appear sour though, on the contrary it’s rather sweet from the loads and loads of yummy malts and added candi sugars. But before things start to cloy you’re hit by the hops in the finish. 14.0194

Bottled. Dark brown colour, huge brown head. Aroma is hops, malts, caramel and some earthy notes. Flavour is sweetish sour fruits, caramel, earth, hops and slight roasted malts in finish. Complex beer with a rather creamyish foamy palate. Hides the alcohol quite well, mainly the alcohol shows as a nice warming feeling when entering the stomach.

From the bier rouge family. The brewery De dolle Brouwers make charesmatic beers period. Brown red beer with white spicy head. It is very sour and is good to keep in the basement a couple of years since it then change character and becomes more sweet (like Stille Nacht). The bier rouge style aquires a couple of tastings before you fully can appreciate them (rodenbach, duchesse de bourgogne etc.) Fantastic exciting!

Chestnut color; despite the age, it has too much carbonation, and the glass fills up completely with a huge head. It has a deep caramel aroma. Good body strength, with caramel and chocolate flavor; very light smoke; still pleasantly sweet; some oxidisation reveals its age. The bitterness is quite low, some of it deriving from the darker malts. Still good.

Beautiful red-amber color. The aroma is not so complex, it reminds me some whiskey, but the beer develops itself much more in the taste, with caramel, alcohol, malt, sweetness.
Great one, must have it again!.
