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.

11.5 oz bottle from tytoanderso, thanks Tyler. Pours a slightly hazy orange marmalade colored body with a super large bubbly soapy white head. Aroma is excellent with lots going on...yeast, ripe bananas, green apples, tropical fruit, mint, slight bubble gum and grains. Body is thinner then I expected with light to average carbonation and a slightyl astringent finish. Flavor of lots of yeast, hoppy citrus, tropical fruits. Very nice but i expect nothing less from one of the best brew pubs in the world. Man I love DDC!!!!

Bottle: Pours a slightly hazy effervescent with a think pillowy white head. The aroma is somewhat phenolic with herbal notes- some honeysuckle, flowery suggestions, sweet and spicy Belgian yeast character, a spice note of thyme, and sun-dried tomato? Interesting. Has a creamy/pillowy feel on the palate. Great yeast character. Has a solid malt base, pastry-like with lots of complex yeasty flavors. Peppery phenols, spice nuances of thyme? and a nice Euro-hop dryness into the finish. Very nice Belgian Ale, with great yeast character.

Pours bright gold into an English pint. Fluffy off-white whipped cream head tophats as it slowly recedes leaving spotted sheets. Candi and malt aromas. Smooth, creamy and slick with sour caramel and a dry, lasting citrus pip and pepper finish.

12oz bottle courtesy of glouglouburp. Pours amber with a generous white head. Smells grassy and dry with a funky undertone. Tastes dry and lightly tarte with a grassy presence and some light peppery hints.

This is how it’s done! Honey colored with a huge white head. Light peach, fresh cut flowers, and a touch of pine in the aroma. The flavor is light, sweet, and a bit fruity at the start before coming on strong at the end with a notable hop bite. Easy to drink, subtle, and still complex.

Bottle. Pours with a largish, rocky, white head that leaves great, very strong lacing. Body is a murky yellow. Aroma of oranges, fruits, dryness, candi sugar, and honey. Taste is a bit bland, dry and spicy with a bit of hops. Very lively carbonated with a dry mouthfeel.

Pours a hazy honey yellow with thick white head. Aroma is floral with undertones of piney hops. Flavor is VERY floral with hops presence. Subtle floral notes such as lavender and rose. Light sugars but the sugars are covered by hops. Body is creamy with high carbonation.

A dry, herbal Belgian ale. Wild grass, light malt, citrus, and wheat flavors. Fairly complex. Moderate hops in there as well. This is really for a style that rarely produces exciting beers.
