750 ml corked and caged 2003. Pours a hazy bright reddish-orange with a nice off- white head that leaves some lacing. Yeasty, spicy and fruity aromas. Rich bready and fruity flavors, medium to full bodied with a lively carbonated mouthfeel, finishes a bit sweet, better than I expected, well done.

330 ml bottle via Belgianshop. Pours a dark murky brown with lots of carbonation and medium head. Aromas of dark fruit and roasted malts. Malty flavor, spicy, metallic almost tea like finish with hints of raisins and bread dough.

Deeply roasted malt flavor. Not overly complex as a result as this swallows much of the rest of the beer’s characteristics. Green tint to head. Dark reddish brown appearance. Tried at the Bruges bierfest in 2012 with Jess and Dave.

Snowy dark brown, beige head. Aroma is some funk, raisins. Taste has overripe fruits, dried figs, some sourness, overripe banana, bread. But all a bit too moderate. More taste and fuller body would have been nicer. still an ok drink though.

Bottle. Pours chestnut with nice off white head and decent lacing. Aroma: fruity, yeast, malt, caramel Taste: fresh with very slight sourness and alcohol. Thin and medium carbonation. Overall quite refreshing despite abv

Artevelde Grand Cru is a pretty average Belgian strong ale. I especially like the palate which has a high carbonation and not even a trace of alcohol. A solid beer.

33cl bottle. brown colour with a good formation of tan head. Aroma is slightly malty, caramel and toasty. Flavour is moderate caramelish, sugar and red fruits are present, slightly alcoholic. The final is moderate bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium.

Rating 8500. dark brown colour, beige lively hed, steady, medium, nice. Qite sweet malty dark fruity aroma with alcohol, pleasant. Good mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet with dark malt and caramel, dark fruit, yeast and alcohol, medium bitterness. Nice brew.

Deep, dark caramel color. Big, giant, foamy off-white head. Plenty of lacing. Sour malty aroma. Sour, funky, sweet, slightly malty taste. Roasty and bitter. Weird beer. Not exactly close to style.

Flaske: Rødbrun let diset øl med et stort flot let brunligt skumhoved. Duften er gæret let metallisk. Smagen er dejlig belgisk med en ordentlig røvfuld karbonering der understøtter bitterheden. Let metallisk der trækker en kende ned på en ellers flot og meget drikbar øl.

Bouteille de 33 cl. Couleur brune, opaque, mousse moyenne mais de bonne tenue. Une bière très fruitée et épicée qui propose un goût assez spécifique allié à une texture assez crêmeuse, longueur très correcte. Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert
