Rating from notes, 2012: 750ml bottle picked up at Cora-Forsbach. Pours out a light amber color, thick, creamy head, chunky lacing. Aroma brings forth Belgian yeast, pit fruit, some light pastry sweetness. Taste is more of the sweetness up front, light brandy notes, rich, deep malt character, some of the alcohol making itself apparent. Taste lingers for a bit, with a bit more of the alcohol heat warming the gullet. Really solid. Makes me miss my monthly trips to Cora.

Clear golden color with a lot of sparkling bubbles seaking the sky. Three finger high, white, foamy head that leaves lacing on the glass.
Nose: belgian ale, yeast, honey, sugar, green apples, pears, lemon and a bit of orange.
Taste: Complex taste of marzipan, citrus, lemon curd, orange, sweet caramel malt, pears and banana.
Medium body with high carbonation, almoust like Champagne. Soft texture. Feels luxury and classic! I like this!

Pours a beautiful good. Nice big pillowy head, snow white. Sticky, thick lacings last throughout. Lively carbonation.
Big yeasty aroma. Honey and strong light fruits (apple, pear). Bit of an alcohol punch.
Big taste too. Very yeasty with some nice minerally compliments. Sweet, sticky fruit. Surprising continental hop presence coupled with some welcome barnyard flavors.
Not particularly drinkable, but by no means unpleasant. Only points deducted are based on style really. This could easily pass as a Pale Ale, but lacks the clean drinkability of a bier de garde.

A translucent light brown/amber ale drains from the 75cl bottle into a burgundy glass, splashing around creating an off-white blanket of foam. I get heavy curtains rotating the glass around a bit.
S The smell is of Belgian Ale no doubt , the classic characteristics of yeast, burnt sugar and hint of dark fruits. Gradually a marzipan undertone surface…
T One hell of a savory ale this one, it doesn’t wear off at all, no matter how many mouthfuls I have. Plenty of marzipan again, dotting along the line is pears, perhaps more like calvados, it’s all sweet and some malts. Although a raging 10% ABV this only adds to the flavor rather than drawing attention away from it.
M Mid to full body, an abundance of beautiful and stringy bubbles. The carbonation stays alive through out the drinking experience, which is fantastic.
True and solid craftsmanship at its best. This 2011 version of the brew was chiselled from one good old block of Belgian brewing history and tradition. All things in balance, the only thing that perhaps draws down the rating on this ale is the lack of innovation.
