Silly La Gueule Noire (Koempelbier)

It’s a dark, red-brown amber color and the head is creamy. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt and a light sweetness. The flavour has a strong sweetness, notes of candy sugar, light raisin, caramel, malt and sour citrus. I would like more complexity, especially in the finish, the beer leaves me with a feeling of being OK – but boring...

Deep dark amber colored with huge yellow head. Sweet plummy aroma with nice licorice, nuts and mild alcohol, some hops also there. Medium to full bodied. Rich flavor is surprise after mediocre aroma: strong sweetness with syrup, caramel, licorice, spices and some vinous berry note. Aftertaste keeps as sweet and mildly alcoholic. Fine brew, aroma differs from flavor.

Bottled. Deep amber colour with mediumsized beige creamy head, a lot of lacing. Aroma is raisins, toffee, fudge some sweet malts and licorice. Flavour is licorice along with caramel malts and some fudge. Mild notes of cinnamon and also soem slight alcohol can be traced, but fits in the beer really well. Wellbalanced and pleasant.

Hazy amber with small head leavin some laces. Sweet toffee aroma with malts and raisin. Sweet flavor with plums, raisins and toffee. Alcohol well hidden. Average belgian ale.

Bottle: Poured a reddish hazy amber with a beige color head, lots of bubbles from carbonation. Sweet caramel candy aroma. Taste is sweet toffee with hints of butterscotch candy, finished with a tangy metallic finish.
