Duc dHavré (Seigneur de Tourcoing) Cuvée Prestige

Bottle during the Graveyard Session, London Drinker Beer Festival, March 2006. BBE December 2007. Hazy amber colour. Comes over as a decent spicy beer with some yeasty elements in the aroma. Lemony fruit in the flavour. Maybe a touch sweet with a sort of confectionery vibe but, overall, a decent enough beer.

75 cl bottle with a champagne cork that was hard to get off. But finally it poured deep orangey golden with a white head. Grassy hoppy nose combinedspices and sugar. Flavours are sweet though with lots of grassy hops. Feel spiced and a bit sticky. Warming alcohol. Drinkable.

Bottled. Aroma is sweet citrus, several spices and malty. Hazy, yellow color, small white irregular head, fair lace. Light sweet, very spicy, bitter, quite full and sticky.

Bottle. I guess being brewed by Huyghe explains a lot, but is it brewed by Huyghe? whatever.... this was OK, but a little sugary, sticky, and showed too much yeasty alcohol burn in the finish, lightly spicey clovey flavours come through aswell. Not too bad.

Bottle at the St George’s Graveyard Beerfest, March 2006. I’m not sure who brought this one, but thanks to whoever it was. Aroma is spiced fruit. To taste this is fruity and malty, slightly spiced and some banana in there also. Interesting.

Bottle (St Georges Park Bottle Fest): Funky, farmy with a nice fruity edge. Some mild spice and fresh fruits. Hazy darker gold, with a lasting white head. Tasty.

75cl bottle at St George’s Cemetary Bottle Fest 2006. Cloudy golden colour with lasting white head. Nice hoppy/yeasty/citrus beer with a bit of toffee. Nice enough. Bit of sticky toffee on the end. Didn’t get the same farmyard like aroma that some others did.
