Pale brown colour. Toasty malt aroma. Creamy texture. Warming, sweet malty aftertaste.

(Bottled) Grainy malt, yeast, dark fruitiness, sweet berries in the nose. Flavor is berry-sweetish with yeast and fruit. Quite foamy with lots of CO2. Not very professionally made, but in a strange way I like this. 5245

Clear amber coloured beer with small off hite head and few carbonation. Malty bit spicy aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is bitter roasted.

Medium, yellow head, receding over red-amber beer, hazy. Roasted, caramel, fruity esters, and some cooked fruit or vegetables. Roasted taste, much more obvious than in the nose, and way more clear-tasting. Caramel, but only sweet-ish. Discreet fruity notes, difficult to pinpoint. Medium bodied at best, slightly sticky. Decent, if nowhere great. A bit like some old-style ale, so the name is warranted indeed.

33cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2009, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex brew, not balanced, cloudy, small head, nice brew

ZBF 2009. Red-amber colored beer. Aroma of dark fruits. Fruity and sweet taste. Very malty ending. A bit roasted. Nothing special.

33cl bottle at the own Brasserie (6.8 degrees on the label). Murky brown with tan head, creamy and persistent. Good lacin. Slightly aroma to toasted malts. Flavour is toasted, bready, with a light final dense on the palate and a long aftertaste to caramel. Carbonation is medium to high. Body is medium. Texture is oily.

bouteille 33cl. Couleur cuivrée brumeuse avec une mousse beige effervescente qui disparait très vite. Arôme reste moyen si je la compare à La Givrée, ressort une fine note de cara malt avec un épice minime. Bière en bouche est épicée, malté et caramel, note de grains, allant sur biscuité qui ressort plus que son autre version. Houblon rajoute une légère note de citron amer, le tout reste moyen avec un léger problème de carbonation dès l’ouverture de la bouteille.

Bottle at ZBF09. Good spicy hop aroma. Clear nut brown colour. Very small tan head. The flavour has the same spiciness as the aroma, a herbal note. Unfortunately it is a bit weak.
