UPDATED: DEC 29, 2008 btl jcwattsrugger. Amber pour with a hint of orange. A creamy white head and lace. Brown sugar and caramel on the nose. Semi sweet malt and a light finishing bitter and yeasty as well. Full slick body with good carbonation. Very solid offering a very light hint of abv as well.

750 ml bottle in Paris, 2006.
Decent amber color, fast fading head. Good amber malt aroma, slightly roasted and dry. A bit nutty. Taste is very dry, hoppy, with really good roasted malt taste. A great amber flavor. Grassy, earthy. A dry finish that last quite a long time. Really good. Medium body and carbonation. Interesting.

Amber with a two inch white head. Good amount of lacings. Aroma is figs, sweet malts.
Taste is sweet malts, figs, some hops, alcohol.
Mouthfeel is good and marginally sessionable due to the high abv.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Red-amber with a very short lived nicotine yellow head. It smells quite boozy with wafts of caramel malts. Quite sweet and fruity with a rounded caramel flavour. Something of plums and dates in it as well. Very smooth, quite oily and well-carbonated. A little sterile or chemically tasting like a dentists or a lab of some kind but drinkable none the less.

750 ml bottle. Sweet floral aromas. Flavors were similar with some spice and hints of light fruitiness. Just average really

Bottle from some supermarket in Bergerac, France. Poured a fizzy looking reddish amber with next to no head. Remained fizzy but the head went very quickly. After the shite poured down my neck the last couple of days this should have been like finding a human woman on the planet of the apes...but it wasn’t unfortunately. Bland and uninteresting. Better than many French beers in my humble opinion, but still pretty blah blah. Bah humbug.

Tap at Cafe Studio, Haarlem: Amber coloured Biere de Garde-style brew, and this is the easiest one to drink in this style.
