Bottle from L’Abbaye des Saveurs, Lille
The bottle is a gusher; muddy amber-brown color, with frothy head. Aroma of hops, partially fruity, and sweaty, with a lot of yeast; bread. Overcarbonated body, moderate sweetness, malt flavor, with some fruity character; good hops; reasonable balance.
Still not too professional, too much yeast, but very pleasant.

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Heavy hoppy and moderate malty aroma. Heavy bitter nice flavor. Great balance between hops and malts. Moderate bitter nice finish. Creamy palate. Nice.

750ml bottle from Cave a Bulle.

Appearance : Deep amber tiny head. No lacing.
Aroma : Rubber, soy sauce, light bandaid. Burnt caramel, light hops.
Taste : Fruity sweetness. Overcoked caramel. Metallic and rubbery. Light fruity finish. Light hops.
Palate : Soft carbonation, thin palate.
Overall : This really feels like an infected beer but most of the ratings use the same descriptors as me so I guess this beer is just like that. Not good at all. Nose worse than taste but still bad enough that I can’t drink more than a few sips just for the rating.
