Commercial Description:
It was created in 1933 by Alfred Dubuisson, grand-father of the present family brewer, Hugues. Its former name was "Bush Beer 24°" (the density in Ballings), but today it is known as Bush Amber. Its amber colour is due to the use of caramel malt in the production process. Its bitter sweet taste provides it with firmness and personality. What's more, it helps digestion.

Tap, pours an amber orange color. Nice thick taste with caramel and apple notes, but not over the top with sweetness. It has a crisp, dry aftertaste. Very nice and drinkable.

Poured a clear red/orange with a small off white head. Aroma and taste is a mix of alcohol, caramel and malt. The taste stays with you along with a moderate bitterness. Mild carbonation that doesn’t distract. Overall I liked it but I doubt I will buy another as I thought it was too blunt. I have had many other better Belgium ales... but glad I tried it once.

Pours out a dark amber smelling of yeast and malt. A thick brew that lingers in the mouth after a sip. Definitely tastes like Belgian Ale. A little sweeter than the Rocheforte Trappistes brew but very nice. I would buy this again. My only problem with it is the small bottles. I would have liked to get second helping without having to crack open a second bottle.

Debuisson Scaldis 250 ml 12% Smooth, sweet aroma with little to no alcohol smell. Some woody aromas with non descript fruitiness. Alcohol smell becomes more present as the beer warms. Pours a medium amber color with little head slight haziness. Lots of carbonation on the inside of the glass a la champagne. Slightly oily mouthfeel at first then broken up by the bubbly. Smooth taste with the alcohol present, but hidden if that makes any sense. Subtle sweet with a mild Belgian funkiness. Super yummy and easy to drink. Dangerous with the high ABV. Would drink again and be enthusiastic about it.

classic Belgian strong ale. Slighlty sweeter than most but sweetness brings out the fruits... Apricot, peach for sure. Nice balance for the ABV.

Bottle - Cloudy copper with thin beige head. Floating sediment. Fruity aroma. Sweet, fruity, a little spicy. Low to medium carbonation. Medium to full bodied. Alcohol warmth comes though (not surprisingly) . Not bitter.

250mL bottle, pours a dark golden/amber with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is fruit, malts, brown sugar and spice. Flavour is sweet malts, caramel and dark sugars. Alcohol is quite potent. Long, powerful finish. Almost like a cognac...
