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.

Just not big on this one. Aroma is extremely yeasty...with spice, hoppy presence, and a touch of citrus. Flavor is peppery, with citrus and freshly baked bread evident. Don’t think this beer knows what it wants to be when it grows up.

341 ml bottle, courtesy of my brother - exploded out of the bottle and pours a cloudy creamed honey yellow with a large bone coloured head. Amazing aroma - hugely hoppy, but with a real Belgian presence - peach, apricot, pear, a bit of booze - god, this is nice. Very full in the mouth, and the carbonation level is excellent. More fruits in the flavour, but darker than in the nose - plum, prune, a hint of anise. A truly beautiful beer - Dieu du Ciel! continues to impress.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy light gold with very large, sticky, off-white head. The aroma is spicy, with some ripe mango, lemon zest, sweet bread, and coriander. The flavor starts off on a peppery note, then comes that mango again, with some strong, earthy spice. The finish is zesty with some yeasty and peppery notes that linger for a while. Pretty tasty beer.

Cloudy golden body with a massive, rocky white head. Tropical fruit yeast character with a fair amount of spice in the nose. Peppery. Pepper, tropical fruit, honey with a nice play between the sweet malt and the herbal and spicy notes. Carbonation is quite lively to the benefit of this beer. Light on the tongue. Finishes relatively dry. Highly recommended. One of the most enjoyable of the style I’ve had.

12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy, golden color; bright white head with solid retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of honey, white pepper, and ginger in the aroma; nicely dry and peppery. Lively carbonation. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of white pepper, honey, and vanilla upfront; very lively mouthfeel; touches of alcohol at the perimeter, but very slight; overall, very drinkable, lively, and slightly sweet. Lengthy finish: honey, white pepper, and toasted malts; reasonably dry and toasty throughout.

Hazy pale body with a small white head. Big floral and herbal hop nose with light honey and dough. The flavor is just lightly sweet and moderately bitter with spicy herbal and floral hops, light cotton candy, hay and honey. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Finish is long with a lasting bitterness.
