May 13, 2008 75cl bottle. Pours dark amber with a creamy white head. Aroma & taste is of malts, caramel, spices & some citric/earthy notes. Medium filling palate. Overall quite sweet. . . and far from superior Biere de garde - quite drinkable though!

May 7, 2008 750 ml bottle. The amber color suits the name. Lasting white head. Sharp aroma of hops, some earthy and citric notes and a definite sense of raw banana peel. Initially hoppy flavor that rounds off to caramel. Not my favorite biere de garde, but not hopeless either.

Apr 24, 2008 Pours clear amber with a medium tan head. Nose is caramel malt and tobacco. Caramel, smoky flavor with a fair amount of bitterness. Long bitter finish. Not bad.

Apr 17, 2008 750 ml...poured a nice copper color w/ fizzy white head. I can’t comment of the lacing because I wasn’t using proper glassware (hotel). Nose of malt, tobacco, grass, hay, caramel...Flavor was all over the place...malts, hops, fruits, grains, lots of metallics, alcohol...The finish was very bitter and I couldn’t get the metallics to leave my palate. Mostly, this beer just pissed me off...

Apr 8, 2008 750ml bottle. Sweet and warming from the off, with a caramel malt nuttiness and faint marzipan notes (alcohol). Faint nuts, wood and almond in aroma. Strawberry jelly red with an off-white slick of suds. Wheat, caramel, cardboard and biscuit in the aftertaste. Lacks any depth of malt character. Sick of watery reddish beers at this abv with no complexity or real flavour beyond that of alcohol. Dead, insipid, completely unexceptional. Can’t be arsed pouring another glass of it.

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle: Complex and very well rounded, fruity and malty with a nice balance on the alcohol level. Creamy, great.

Mar 11, 2008 Very good, yellowish head, irregular, over foxy-orange beer. Parsley, bit of caramel, light-coloured malts. Also a nice, deeper smell of fir- or pinewoods, that I do not recall from earlier days. Light piney touch on a rather thinnish beer, characterized by the caramel/toasted malts. Maybe just a touch of diacetyl (!), and the parsley - generally sweet. Alcohol enhances just the lightly burning MF. Rather thinnish, but quite slick. The ubiquitous BdG, the icon that survived. It might have never ranked amongst my topfavourites, I would never call this poor.

Mar 6, 2008 On tap at The Victory in SE Portland, OR. Huh, so this is a Biere de Guarde... It took me by surprise. Pours amber with almost no head. Tastes a lot like a douple to me. It tastes sweet of raisins and dried fruit. Very sweet, no appreciable hops presence. The palate is good, because it is syrupy, but pretty carbonated with a fair amount of alcohol to cut through.
