Bottled (BB 05/2010)
Dark muddy brown, not much head. Caramelly, slightly chocolaty aroma. Crisp, yeasty, caramelly but dry dubbel. "Artisanale" feeling. Quite drinkable dessert beer.

Bottle at DØE tasting, Randers. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Raisin notes. Moderate bitter flaor dominated by dark fruits: Plumb and rasin. Candis notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Muddy brown color, tiny beige head that settles quickly, minimal lacing. Aroma of caramel and light malt, background whiff of nutmeg. Flavor of butterscotch and nutmeg. Medium body. Overall not a bad beer, especially if you try it locally, but not worth pursuing.

Chestnut-amber beer, fully hazy; small, fine yellowish head. Woody, bush notes, dark undergrowth; some chocolate, but also, strangely, greenmalt. Lot of burnt notes, malty both pale and dark. Slight sourish edge, and a perfumed hint that reminds me of dry chocolate powder and dark leaves. Medium bodied, spritzy and refreshing without becoming gassy. Nice Ardennes beer. Not really great, but pleasing and easy drinking. Thanks to Stef.

33cl BB09/2012. Cuivre, col blanc/ocre. Arôme de réglisse, malt léger, fruits noirs. En bouche, bière très agréable, légère pointe de noisette avec en retrait des fruits noirs rappelant des mûres et la réglisse. Petite pointe épicée avec malt caramel. Sur la fin, la levure vient confirmer ce léger profile d’épices avec en retrait cette touche fruitée. Belle surprise.

Bottle@Home. Very fruity aroma with dark malts in the background. Ruby color, beige head, few lace. Sweet, fruity, chocolate, hints of licorice. Quite an amateuristic character.

Bottled. The aroma has caramel malts and cardemom. Hazy-cloudy, orange-brown coloured beer with an off-white, thin head. The taste is sweet, has caramel malts, nutmeg, cardemom. Medium body. Okay.
