Nov 5, 2009 Bottle that I picked up at Bierkoning (I think), Amsterdam, Netherlands, consumed 04-11-09 Pours hazy brown. There is a deep fruitiness, dark demerara sugars, spicy yeasty, in fact a most pleasant beer. I understand that it translates as ’Mad Meg’ and the picture on the label is seemingly a combination of the anti-hero of the Pieter Brueghal painting and the large cannon named after her that resides in the market square in Gent, Belgium.

Oct 25, 2009 Brown coloured beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Cartonnage granny aroma bit yeasty. Full bit sparkling palate. Finish is hoppy ending bitter and bit dry.

Oct 1, 2009 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a nice clear brown colour with a good size head and good carbonation.
Aroma is a very pleasant scent that goes all around the room, nice gentle balance of fruits and malts with some good bitterness there too.
Taste is up the same alley, nice and pleasant beer, great on a autumn night!

does not count  Aug 14, 2009 33cl bottle, brewed in Belgium. Decent dark beer with caramel, toffee and oomph but missing the passion or intricacy of a classically Belgian brown ale.

Jul 20, 2009 This is a dark brown beer with a generous beige head and a malty toffee aroma. There is a very hearty sweet roasted malt flavor with slight bitterness and carbonation at the finish.

Jun 30, 2009 In short: A straightforward toasted toffee/caramelized Belgian ale.
How: Bottle 300ml. Probably 1+ year old when consumed, but still before expiration date.
The look: Cloudy redish-brown body topped by a short-lived beige head
In long: Nose of liquorice and caramel. Taste is very simple. Lots of toasted malts with 2/3 toffee and 1/3 caramel. A spicy sensation (cloves, coriander and such) although I’m pretty sure the beer is not spiced. Almost no fruity flavours. The hops have a wet-cigar flavour that dries out the beer without much bitterness. Finish is very short. Carbonation lacks the liveliness of most Belgian ales. Nothing bad but this is boring. This is a Dull Grief.
