Commercial Description:
Dernière volonté (French for "Last Will") is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.

Bottle at Butters Cellar Blowout. Pours an eggshell color head with a golden body. Smells of yeast and a little homebrew. Flavor is yeast, dough, some banana and clove. Nice finish.

Arômes de bananes et d’épices. Douce aux départ, elle devient très épicée et légèrement fruitée avec un fini moyen d’alcool et de houblon.

Pours gold, effervescent, hazy with sediment. A tall creamy head persists and leaves generous sediment. Aroma is equal parts floral honey notes and yeast. Flavor is floral, fruit blossoms, sweetness balanced by a yeasty funk. Decidedly spicy, clove, black pepper. Medium to full bodied, smooth but peppery mouthfeel.

Bottle: The aroma consists of moderate orange and peach along with honey and pepper. It pours a cloudy golden-orange with lots of sediment and a creamy white head. The flavor starts with orange and peach. The finish has light-moderate floral hops and pepper. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy medium golden color with a fluffy off white head that left great lacing. Great nose of citrus, banana and Belgian yeast. Flavor is fruity with citrus, banana and other tree fruits. Finish starts sweet then finishes off dry, damn good stuff.

Citrus and light malt aroma with fruity notes. Light sourness and some spices. Rose colored body with tight bubbly white head. The head on mine had a good duration which helped with the palate. Flavors are malt, some hops, some hay and grass, with a bitter finish. Some dried fruit. Mouth is a bit creamy from the head with a drying bite. Enjoyable.

bottle. Pours a pale golden color, thin tight head that clears to a ring quickly. Sticky sweet flowery nose- very heavy, thick sweet aroma. Flavor develops much more balance and depth than the nose, with a quick and sharp spicy hop bite on the front, muted sweet caramel and toffee notes in the background. Very dry and astringent on the palate, in a very good way. Some booze shows up in the finish.
