Commercial Description:
Dernière volonté (French for "Last Will") is a mix of Belgian and English brewing traditions. Complex flavours of hop flowers and spicy, fruity esters from our belgian yeast are perfectly balanced with the robust flavours and aromas of malt. The finish is commandeered by an assertive aroma from dry-hopping.

Bottle from West Lakeview, Chicago. Cloudy orange with large white head. Nose is citrus, lemon, grapefruit, yeast, off-dry, apricot, some spice, nice. Flavor is dirty fruit: grapefruit, apricot; yeast, spice, alc, maybe a little perfume, dry, Medium to thin with lively carbonation. Nice but dirty and alc at the same time.

Pours dirty gold with thin white head. The aroma is very fruity and candy – like with notes of apple, apricot, yeast and spice. The taste is very spicy with yeast spice notes and cinnamon. Those flavors are soon followed by big fruitiness by midway from apples, pears and apricots. It ends with a bit of Belgian candi sugar.

Thanks retorp for the share. Pours hazy yellow-orange with nose of Belgium: yeast, citrus, faint apple, spice, citrus, and an enjoyable caramel/toffee note. Flavor is much the same with pieces of caramel, hops, booze, and a dry finish. Enjoyable.

Hazy and chunky pour of burnt orange. Spicy aroma, with floral, lemon, and yeast. Peppery at first, with notes of cinnamon and coriander. Nice earthy hoppy finish

12oz bottle pours a slightly hazy, yellow orange with a frothy, clumping, lacing white head. Aroma has plenty of yeasty esters, bananas, clove, spice, some gentle sweetness, tropical fruits. Flavor is very similar, spices and bananas, yeasty, a little bready, flowers, some more sweet fruits. Finish is sweet and slightly chalky. I don’t know that this beer is a knockout, but it’s really drinkable and a great representation of the style. It was a tad expensive but overall very nice.

Thank you Jim Daley for your generous wedding present. Beer poured a clear golden blond. Taste was yeasty, sweet, with a dry bitter finish. Fantastico!
