Oct 7, 2007 Bière brune ambrée, voilée avec des pellicules de levures. Col très mince et éphémère de teinte crème.
Parfum léger de malt, de caramel et de réglisse.
Ces saveurs se retrouvent en bouche, avec une note liquoreuse et d’alcool agréable.
Très pétillante et rafraîchissante.
Savoureuse!

Oct 5, 2007 750 ml bottle labeled as the Pierre Celis Signature Selection - no mention of caves. Aroma of yeast spice, light fruit, dark fruit, arguably citrus. Ruby color with a beige head that was vigorous and persisting. Kept climbing out of the bottle neck. Medium bodied; creamy carbonation. Dark fruit, touch of heat, wood, roasted malt. Very nice feel in the mouth. The finish is pretty dry, seems to have a citrus touch, leaves wood notes. Malt is noticeable, but it’s not a sweet ending. It is a great ending.

Oct 1, 2007 33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Appealing deep copper, small yeast flecks and a tight tan head.
Aroma: Lots of big, chewy malts - caramel, toffee, treacle; raisins, figs, fruits; slightly herbal with definite warm spices, all balanced by some acidity and slight citrus zing.
Palate: Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation, a touch syrupy.
Flav.: Woody and tangy, vinous, the sweet, chewy malts are more in the background than they were on the nose, some of the spices and herbs come through; a touch sweet and a little thin at the end; leaves a pleasant light toasted malt finish that is a bit vinous.
Not huge and cavernous, but certainly welcome in my grotto.
