I was reading a news stoory about one of the last french veterans of WWI dying, and i was overwhelmed with sadness. I once did a tour of battlefields in belgium, which was an amazing and depressing, intense emotional experience. I remembered that the best way to deal with the sadness was to drink Belgian beer, so I search my fridge and found this one. I think I picked up the bottle at whole foods some months ago. It pour a hazy orange brown, with lots of white head, very pale for a brune. it was very sweet and fruity. there was a nice bit of belgian yeasty and tons or carmel. Sliglty warming from the alchol, but otherwise well hidden. it was sweet an unremarkable, but it gets a few extra points for bringhting up my mood. And may there be no more pointless wars.

Sep 20, 2008 From bottle at Creperie Bretonne, Louvain-la-Neuve. Cloudy amber with a persistent little head. Fruity aroma with hints of chocolate. Sweet fruit and milk chocolate flavours. Scores on originality, though I think milk chocolate is rather less refreshing on a hot summer’s day.

Sep 8, 2008 A hazy dark amber ale with a thin creamy off white head. Pleasant caramel malt aroma, with vanilla cream, oranges, and alcohol. In mouth, a good sweet malt with sustained herbal belgian hopping, coriander, and orange peels. Very nice. Bieropholie imports. BB 19/12/08.

Aug 31, 2008 Bu au Festival Bière et Saveur 08 (31/8), en bouteille au kiosk Univin. Blonde dorée, pas brune?, mince collet. Arome de malte un peu végétal, légèrement caramelisé. Goût de malte très légé, mais la sensation d’alcool est très présante. C’est de la bouette ça!

Aug 17, 2008 Coppery colored with medium sized yellow head. Chocolate dominates in berry aroma, some interesting raspberry comes up here too. Spices also present. Medium bodied. Flavor is drier with chocolate still here, same sweet berriness comes also up. Licorice even in drying and mildly alcoholic aftertaste. Good beer, interesting filtered one.
