Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is earth, some malts and spicesa long with herbs. Flavour is very much the same with some bitter fruity notes in the aftertaste.

Bottle. Poured a dark cloudy brown colour with a thin white head. The beer has a very malt aroma, fruit with a hint of caramel. The flavor is slightly bitter and fruity . Bitter finish. A strange beer.

A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Kris Wines
Very cloudy orange amber with a effervescent off white head, Soapy aroma with some sweet malt and yeast and slight orange. Yeasty and soapy flavour too. Reasonably bready, the rye shows through pretty well with some farily clear rosemary hints. Slightly dusty and odd in the finish. Quite prickly in the palate, I’m guessing that has something to do with the rye.. Fairly interesting and drinkable.

Bottled 0,33L. Beautiful burnt red color lightly brownish, full bodied and with good fizz. Creamy head of short duration. Aged aroma with stum notes, light braced malt and wine cellar. Definite, harmonious and decidedly prickly and lively taste. Pleasant rumors of roast malt and smoked tip with wood notes and barrel. A lot balanced bitter and alcohol content.

33cl bottle: poured deep dark copper with a medium sized beige head. Malt and fruit aroma. Some sourness. Flavor is light malt and and a touch of fruit. Pretty lacking in both. Easy drinking but not really flavorful.

Hazy brownish color, medium brown head. Aroma of malt, quite dusty, bit nutty. Slight sour taste, caramel malt, very sweet. Strange brew.

UPDATED: JUL 22, 2007 Cloudy brown coloured, lasting brown head. Malty nose. Pretty sour flavour, more bitterness in finish. Not impressive. Thanks Roel for bringing this rating :-).

From bottle at Le Sous-Bock, Paris. Amber with a small but persistent head. Fruity caramel aroma. Fruity flavours, some sour berries blending with toffee towards the finish. Medium to light body. A good French beer.

33cl bottle from a six-pack of Breton beers at Carrefour. A slightly hazy red chestnut colour with a small white head; full fruity flavour, with a biscuit aftertaste that doesn’t really develop. Disappointing.

Deep, hazy, almost pinkish pour with persistent creamy head. Enticingly sweet malty snout with a hint of (beet)rootiness? Ridiculously velvety mouthfeel. Sweet, smooth and slightly woody with some deliciously smoky, cigar-like afters. Creamily lovely.
