75 cl bottle @ home (as Leibier, bottle 1690 of 2500). Deep Dark color, bit not quite opaque/black. Not much head. Aroma’s: roast, drop/laurel, sweet malt, sourish fruit, rye bread, coffee, chocolate - a plethora of aroma’s all beautifully balanced. Flavor is medium sweet and roasted, rye bread. Alcoholfeel is not too strong, carbonation is rather soft, body is medium. Finishes lightly bitter and roasted. This is pretty much how I like my impies. Near perfect.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
15cl bottle sample @ Kerstbierfestival ’11, Essen.
Brun clair/cuivre, col beige.
Arôme continue à ressentir cette levure DeProef qui devient présente partout et enlève un peu de côté unique d’une nouvelle bière. Malté léger, et caramel, garde ce profile belge.
En bouche, malt léger, houblon modéré donnant un profile fleuri et citronné. Malt est agréable allant vers des notes biscuités, alcool est là et réchauffant. Sympa.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tasted as Liebier - big bottle, took a few hours to get thru. Jet black with lovely crema thick head. Complex aroma with berries a touch of wood and light char notes. Wonderful sweet mouthfeel. The alcohol certainly warms but a ipa like ricnhess. Defies its black appearance the dark malts only flirt with any presence. Burnt toffee and jam like sweetness. Wonderful

Shared a bottle with DutchDrebus. Hazy dark color. Little bit fruity smell, slightly hoppy. Taste is a little more flat than the smell but a nice finish and good body make this a very decent beer overall.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark ruby-red colour. Smells a bit fruity and hoppy at the same time. Tastes pretty nice. For me it’s not their masterpiece (meesterstuk means masterpiece).

Dark ruby red colour, creamy tan head.
Aroma of dark chocolate, liquorice, bay leave and dark rye bread (Fries roggebrood). Hints of candied citrus peel. Fruity hops.
Flavour of malts, coffee, toffee, milk chocolate, burnt malt bitterness, slight smokyness. Slightly astringent, leaves a dry mouth feel. Rather long finish with bitter burnt malt tones and hops.
Pleasant. (From 33cL bottle)
