bottle thanks to bu11zeye. deep amber pour with a small amount of froth. scents of honey and chamomile. flavors of honey and spices. smooth finish with an aftertaste of banana

Amber. Foam didn’t last very long. Some honey in both taste and smell. Very average and not convincing t all.

bouteille 33cl et encore une fois, pas de date de consommation. Cuivre, col beige. Arôme fait bien ressortir le miel et une note herbacée que l’on retrouve souvent dans un miel organique. Palais est fruité; note de pêche, mielleux avec toujours ce bon côté miel frais donnant des notes de fleurs, le tout se suit par un profile malté léger. L’alcool se marie parfaitement avec le miel qui par moment peut couvrir le palais, et est balancé par les 8.5% pour en faire une bonne bière de dégustation. Une légère amertume florale se dégage sur la fin.

(Bottled, no BBE) Murky amber, lemonadey head, dull aroma. Flavor is equally dull, with a touch of honey, malt, cardboard, ginger, some tartness, no hops, no alcohol. Low CO2. Either the bottle is old and this doesn’t age well - or it’s just not very good to begin with. 4145

Bottle @ Willems, Grobbendonk. Pours unclear golden with a creamy white head. Sweet honey, fruit and yeast. A bit of alcohol. Full bodied. Good.

Bottle. Hazy amber pour with a big longlasting off white head. The aroma is quite spicy, light peppery with some acidic notes. The flavour is spicy, bit citric, bit acidic with light notes of honey and caramel. Highly carbonated. Light acidic and peppery finish. Reminds me of some Fantome beer.

Bottle 0,33ltr; This what I mean with a honey beer, hazy amber coloured with the subtle sweetness of honey.

Bottle, bought @ Bierkoning, Amsterdam.
Murky amber with a smallish, fizzy, off-white head. Very fizzy head, really. Aroma has lots of sweetness, heather honey, flowers, caramel, light viniousness, some toasted notes, light plums. High, prickly carbonation, fine, lightly oily mouthfeel. Flavour has sweet honey, toasted caramel, figs, plums, vinious. Very flowery feel to it. Fine, even if it is quite high in carbonation.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Murky dark brown body with quick-receding tan head. Spicy, soapy and somewhat sweet nose. Taste is of honey, malts. Some ginger and more honey in the finish.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of spices and honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey, leading to a finish where spices mixes in with the honey and makes it dry. The body is light.

Bottled (from BelgianShop, probably very old vintage, as no BBE dates can be found anywhere). Deep goldeny amber colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is honey, wood, mild spices, some sweet malts as well as some yeast. Flavour is quite dry, herbs, spices, yeast and some wood along with slight sweet malts and some honeyish notes. Some mild earthcellary notes in the background.
