Bush de Nuits

Brewed by Dubuisson
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Pipaix, Belgium

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit, medium notes of alcohol and light notes of an underlying acidity. The flavor has strong notes of fruit and alcohol, but also medium notes of brettanomyces, wine, and wood. Nice.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Pours a hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Very delicious tart and woody aroma. Quite full-bodied, a little low in carbonation, notes of overripe fruit, wood and sherry accents. Soft and smooth finish. Quite simply fantastic and one of the best beers I’ve had this year. 311008

75 cL bottle huge thanks to Grovlam. Pours hazy orange with a diminished white head. Aroma is fruity wineous and mild acidic. Honey spiced too. Smooth fruity flavoured. Mild spiced and vague caramel malty too. Slight phenolic on the back of the nose. Lingering fruity and warming finish. Fantastic!

Bottle 75cl.
Light unclear medium amber color with a large, frothy - creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy vinous, red wine berry sour acidic, cask wood, lactic notes. Flavor is heavy sweet and light to moderate acidic with a long duration. A perfect acidic balance to the heavy sweetness, whre the notes bush beers only have the alcohol to balance the sweet this have the wine tartnes also ;o)). Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic. [20081122]

Bottle, 13%, thanks to yespr. Peppery aroma, citric with some dried fruit, hint of citric fruit. Mellow alcohol flavour, a little burning touch. Quite sweet with lots of dried fruit. Very nice.

Bottle at home. Hazy dark brown coloured with a fast disappearing off white head. Fruity aroma of dried fruits, red wine, vanilla and oak. Fruity flavour of dried fruits, red wine, vanilla, wood and alcohol. Warming finish of alcohol and wood. Nice, but not very drinkable.

Hazy dark amber color; small creamy head. The ageing in the wine barrels left a nice fruity and sour aroma, vinous and woody, very light chemical products, light alcohol. Good body strength, some sweetness but not cloying, caramel flavor with some fruiteness; together with the alcohol they create a paint remover feeling. At the end the alcohol starts warming. The aroma is wonderful, the flavor is good.

Hazy amber with medium off white head. Sour aroma with lactic, toasted malt and caramel notes. Sour flavour with overripe fruits, alcohol and sour berries. Finished sweet with plenty of lacto bacteria to tell me that I love sours! thanks yespr by the way this one finished dry.
