Mar 24, 2008 Pours a light amber with a very thin head with lots of loose bubbles. Aroma is of gooseberries, rubbing alcohol, figs, very dry and spicy/herbal. Taste is a bit too up-front - bold, bitter, and dry. Bit of alco-burn in the finish, dry and lightly tart even. Thin body, decent carbonation. I found this to be very lopsided - no sweetness to balance, no malt character or complexity.

Poured nice golden/amber yellow. huge lively head from a hard pour. Smell of cloves, spice, coriander, wheat, nutmeg and peppar. Taste is pretty much the same. Nice mouth feel with a pretty good carbonation. Great Biere de Garde from Tomme.

Feb 22, 2008 The pour reveals a clear dark gold color with a thin, bubbly, white head. The aroma has a good dose of funky barnyard with a spicy, fruity, malty presence. The flavor is pleasantly funky with spices, malt and mild tart fruits. The body is full with an oily texture and soft carbonation. This is a pretty solid bière de garde.
