Commercial Description:
It is copper, with a toffee-malt taste. A subtle fruitiness, relatively firm body, and alcohol give it almost the impression of a strong ale spiked with apple brandy.

Note: No longer made (since 1999 or so) by De Dolle. Current versions are made by Strubbe (the brown ale, reportedly the same as Ichtegem's) and Bavik (the blonde, reportedly the Petrus Triple).

A clear amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and peach. The flavor is as if it is a bit old - sweet, dusty, caramel, alcohol, peach, and fruit.

(Bottle 33 cl) Rather pale golden, creamy head. Vinous and fruity yes, but definitely also very bitter. Interesting brew. Had this at Kulminator in Antwerp. 110893

Bottled, 1992 vintage. Clear golden. Tart and full of lactic acidity. Dry and lightly papery. Lively and crisp, near lambicish. Outstanding!

Old rating: Sampled the 1991 version in September 2000: Orange coloured. Clear. Fruity, sweetish. Apple aroma. (5/4/7/4/12)

Clear-amber, foxy; amberish tinted small head. Very oxydized nose, nutty, biscuit, chocolate truffles, meaty, chocolate powder. Slightly woody impression in the taste, with again dry chocolate powder, with very little sweetness - biscuit is still there. Medium bodied, not very full. Somehow, however oxydized this may be, I’m glad I still found the DDB version at ’t Kroegske, Emelgem. A perfect setting for retasting this icon.

Bottle - 1992 Vintage @ Akkurat
Roast, whiskey and almond notes. Hazy amber, low head. I get an impression of rye, some dust and salt. Even at that age a bit too edgy.

(Vintage 1992 sampled at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden) Clear amber colour with small white head. Sweet round aroma of apples and pears. Musty flavour of apple. Long finish.
