Duyck Jenlain Ambrée

25 cl bottle. Caramel sweet malty aroma. Pours light amber. malty caramel flavor. with a good hop spice, very little to no bitterness.

Pours with a thick off-white head on top of a hazy orange body. This one has a malty, musty aroma. There is also a faint horse blanket aroma suggesting some brettanomyces action. Sweet, profoundly malty taste with some mild lingering bitterness expected for the style. Notes of caramel, nouget and marzipan. Highly carbonated with a lean mouthfeel. A great beer.

I was not tremendously moved by this beer. It was very mild mannered in aroma, but had an unpleasant overly malty sweet flavor I did not care for. I can’t say I’d recommend this for that reason. Its appearance was pretty good, with an amber color with a macro-looking head composed of tiny uniformly sized bubbles. It didn’t smell like anything. Flavor was very malty sweet, and a bit unpleasant.

Bottled. Dark copper colour. Low head. Sweet malty caramel, almond paste and alcohol in aroma. Dusty malt flavour with bit sweetness and tad licorice and dried fruits plus vanilla. Alcohol shines through with some bitterness. Still, very soft mouthfeel.

Sweet aroma, cloudy brown color. Taste is malty and sweet in a way similar to some heavy porters but this beer finds a much better balance of sweetness and hoppiness. Quite good.

Can. Orange color, fading head. No specific aroma. Sweet, alcoholic, soapy, pefumed flavor. Short aftertaste. Not good.

Tasted at Holiday Wine Cellar. Aroma caramel and barn yard funk with pronounced alcohol in the scent. Sweet, slick palate. Sweet honey taste with a lingering meade-like taste to the finish.

Tried at Holiday Wine Cellar Beer Tasting. A touch light struck, but it faded quickly. Otherwise, great smell of malt. Medium to fine lacing. Very drinkable. I seem to be rating it higher than others, but I love the maltiness in the flavor and aroma.
