Bouteille 0,33 l de Bier-Bienne (CH). Bière brune voilée, mousse beige ferme dessinant des dentelles au verre. Nez de malt grillé, caramel, orange, épice (girofle) et thé. Saveur gourmande, douce et aromatique, malt roti et caramélisé, touche d’acidulité de fruit mais ronde avec un peu de sècheresse. La finale est plus amère avec du poivre, malt et alcool.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap at Beachwood BBQ. Pour a dark plum color with a fluffy beige head. Smells of Belgian yeast and caramel. Tastes of both with addded notes of dark fruit and malt. Highly drinkable, but seems far from style. Makes me wish I had a Chouffe gnome.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Pours dark beet-red with brown undertones. Fruity nose: black cherry, pomegranate. Toffee and caramel malts on the tongue, with more cherry and slight earthy funk. Finishes pretty clean, with well-masked alcohol. Not outstanding, but very good on tap.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle. Hazy brown body, tall head. Aroma has toffee and alcohol. Taste is malty and slightly burnt, caramel and toffee are dominating. First of the "scotch ale" style for me. Better with food because it brings out more of the toffee character that was veiled by alcohol when tasting it on its own.

On tap at Sladovna-House of beer, Bratislava. Dark brown color with frothy beigee head. Aroma, fruit, malt and spices. Nice fruity bittersweet taste with spices. Fruity finish. Excellent beer.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Another great offering from a solid Belgian brewery. I drank a bottle of this at my wedding reception so it will always be near and dear to my heart. Delicous spicy aroma and flavours. Way too drinkable at this high an ABV!
