May 3, 2003 Drunk alongside La Gauloise's brune. Frothy head which settled into swampy pockets of the universe in creation. Nice. A muddy, unpleasant colour - rather like raw sewerage. Yeasty nose, much stronger and richer than the Gauloise. Some vanilla and cloves arise first, then the sweet malt comes through, mostly in the form of brown sugar. A soft, creamy body with very low carbonation. A strange woody, tannic spice that I couldn't pin down, along with a mild sweetness and gentle coffee. A very soothing drink. Hints of caramel and wet leather. A delicious, creamy and delicate brew with bags of wandering, indefinable aromas and flavours. I liked this better than the La Gauloise.

Jan 26, 2007 Bottle. Beauitiful mahogny red colour with a creamy mostly diminishing off-white head, fair lacing. Sweet quite fruity aroma with roasted malts, spices and dark caramel.

Oct 8, 2007 Updated: Jun 11, 2008Cola brown with cream froth. Drank this over a 2 hour period, and it got better. Liquorice and yeast extract giving way to a chocolate malty smoothness. Quite a heady orange-accented aroma with dusting of ginger or anise-like spice, wet leaves and chocolate. Hops detectable. Better without the ’delicate sparkle’. Creamy, balanced and packed with Belgian spice on the re-rate. Would make a cracking house beer- big on flavour but not overly demanding. Really decent bruin/dubbel.
