Gribousine DHiver

Brewed by Brasserie La Binchoise
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Binche, Belgium

Bottle @ Delirium Cafe. Deep red in color with a nice lacing.Fruity appley aroma. Flavor is sweet and light. Ok. Medium bodied.

Bottle @ Delirium Cafe. Tastes of Jolly Ranger apple candy. Fruitty but really not candy sweet, just the light flavor. Nothing I’d get twice.

Murky looking, orangey amber body with a large frothy white head. Sharp spicey aroma and some orange characters. Taste is a bit smoother than the aroma, butterscotch, coriander, citrus and pepper amongst other flavours. Easier to drink as it warms. It was supposedly the middle of summer here in Oz but it has been raining all day so this Winter beer seemed appropriate.

Bottle. Amber pour, fine bubbles in a smallish head. Spicy but insipid and uninspired aroma. A little acidic, some winter spices, malty but it just needs more kick to it.

Bottled. Hazy brown colour, white foamy head. Alcohol and plum in aroma and flavour. Some hints of malt too. Sticky palate.

Thick, very dark hazy amber color. Thick white head, sweet malty nose with cherries, strawberries, yeast, oranges, chocolate, brandy, and a touch of bubblegum. Mildly sweet mouth, yeast, strawberries, chocolate and slight hints of alcohol. The finish is disappointing weak, malty and a bit of yeast, but no real depth.

Beautiful amber color; thick head, creamy and persistent. Malty aroma, with coriander. Malty taste, some sweetness and a lot of coriander, well balanced, smooth, light liquorice, but quite dry and bitter at the end. Good but without emotions.

(Bottled) Hazy darkish amber color with a medium, tanned head. Aromatic, bitter-style hopping in the slightly sweet, toffeeish aroma. Caramely-toffeeish-malty flavor with moderate, aromatic bitterness. ABV doesn’t show at all. Medium-bodied, slightly sugary palate. Very drinkable brew for its ABV, but not very warming (it was too cold, though).
