Feb 5, 2008 Having this one on draft at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. Poured with and nice head with plenty of lace. Brownish color with some amber and cherry highlights. Malty body but not too thick. Some sweet/tartness. Dark fruits, toffee, and some yeasty flavors predominate. Very nice. Good finish.

Feb 5, 2008 Fresh 750 ml first pour in Gulden Draak tulip. Reddish brown with lasting tannish head and lace. Freshly turned earth and wood aroma with mild cinnamon bubble gum. Earthy caramel brown sugar and wood flavor with very mild raisin fruitiness and mild tobacco bitterness in finish. Medium body and carbo. Very nicely complex, amazingly refreshing and palatable. I’m blown away. I guess I wasn’t expecting much, not sure why. This is delicious.

Jan 31, 2008 750 Ml Bottle-Pours a cloudy brown color w/a slight head & good lacing. Sweet, fresh, Belgian aroma. Great fresh Belgian flavor of cane sugar, bread dough, yeast, dark fruit, & a touch of peat. Has a little spice to it. This was quite good, but that shouldn’t be a surprise from this brewer. Had never heard of it when I saw it in the store but bought it as soon as I saw St. Bernard on the label. Good stuff.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle @ MicroBar, Clapham Nov’07. Murky reddish / brown pour. Aroma is vinous . dark fruits / chocolate / raisins. Taste is dark fruits / much the same as aroma really although doesn’t deliver that knockout blow on drinking.

Jan 9, 2008 75 cl. bottle pours a massive head if yer not careful. Dark, ruby- brown color. Has a subtle bread and butter smell. Very nice smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Pretty mild flavor of nine grain bread with a mild, citrusy hop bite to finish. A well balanced brew, but too mild in the flavor department.

Jan 6, 2008 This is a rather young version. It’s mahogany with a nice head and lace. The aroma has notes of caramel, fruit and aroma hops. The flavour has light sweetness, caramel, fruit, citrus and a nice hoppy bite in the finish. A charming beer indeed.

Dec 31, 2007 0.33 l bottle. Slightly hazy reddish brown color with thick head. Fruity, perfumed and toffeish aroma with notes of vanilla and alcohol. Toffeish, caramelly and yeasty flavor with dry woody spiciness. Dry spicy bitter finish. Kind of muddy.

Dec 31, 2007 Draught. Pours dark brown/black with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is toffee, Belgian-style yeast, and a hint of spice. Flavor is moderately sweet toffee malt, rather like a brown ale with a bit more complexity and the distinctive Belgian yeast character---maybe a Belgian analog to an Old Ale. Pretty good.
