RichardGretton (2681), Leicestershire, England Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Brownish beer with a strong head. The aroma is lightly roasted and dry. The flavour is roasted, slightly chocolate and mildly malty and dry. Overall a smooth malty and roasted beer.
General_Gao (2575), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Nov 25, 2007 33 cl bottle purchased at La Cave à Bulles in Paris. Apparently this beer is brewed with some type of flowers. It poured a clear light brown-orange color. Head was thick, rocky, and off white with good retention. Some tattered lace was left behind on the glass. Nutty and earthy aroma accented by grassy hops and a hint of stewed vegetables. There was also a pleasant whiff of malty brown sugar/milk chocolate. Delicate sweetness up front gave way to a mild acidity in the middle which lingered. A malty molasses flavor predominated throughout, but was understated overall. There was a citrusy note in the middle and a light nutty flavor rounded things out. Not a bad beer. JorisPPattyn (4500), Antwerpen, Belgium Jun 24, 2004 Dark-hazy amber; very little head. Faint malt nose, some garden herbs - doubtlessly the flowers meant. Again, faint taste of coloured malt. Finish is slightly acidic, like lime-tree blossoms' tea. Light bodied. A bit disappointing. It is a session beer, for the not overcritical.
