Caulier Bon Secours Blonde de Noël

Brewed by Caulier
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Péruwelz, Belgium

bottle. I planned to crack this open next Christmas, but the bottle was sizzling in my cellar and foam was coming out of the swing top, so I feared there would be too much pressure in it. Precautionary I opened the bottle in the sink, which was a good idea. The beer pours (or rather explodes) a cloudy pale yellow colour with an enormous head. Malty nose with spicy hints. Full-bodied, malty with lots of spicy hops and lots of alcoholic flavours.

Bottle. Evacuates out of the bottle, saved almost all. Looks murky weak brown, with a small off-white head.. Sweet malty aroma, some apricot as well. Taste starts sweet before a alcohol fueled stronger taste takes over, ends with a weak bitter bite.

Bottle opens with a big pooff, pours and hazy gold color with a thick white head. Aroma of malts, very floral and herbal and with some honey. Flavors of malts and yeast, honey, a hint of citrus and pear and some grass note. A good carbonation and a good ballance of sweet and bitterness, dry and spicy finish with a good alcohol feel . A very enjoyalbe well ballanced winter brew.

Shared by HogTownHarry with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Cloudy orange with zero head. Aroma: Meade like - honey, alcohol, pepper and toffee, alcohol, lots of honey in there. Flavour: Yes, a meade, a meade mixed with cheap sake (Harry), bitter, alcoholic, grainy, honey again. Gosh, so alcoholic. My face is warming.

Bottle ( 330ml - swing-top ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with glouglouburp. Hazy gold with minimal frothy head. Smells like a mild, herbal mead, or a light sake - "green" and sweet, fairly boozy. Taste - honey, celery and vodka - again, like a cheap sake. Slick, astringent, boozy, fairly flat mouthfeel - leaves a sticky, herbal boozy aftertaste - pretty challenging and a bit harsh.

3rd July 2008. Cloudy dark amber beer. Unusual. Sweet with nice fruit tones. Dry sweet creamy malt finish. Very flavoursome and a little of the beaten track.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a medium white head. Yeasty and malty aroma with some hops and spice. Flavour is sweet, light alcoholic and light spicy. OK.

Botella. Pours a hazy brown colour, medium short lasting off-white head. Sweet, grainy, malty, yeasty and caramel aroma. Ok mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and malty with grains, yeast, alcohol and light spice. Bit too old this brew.
