May 19, 2009 750mL bottle. Label is slightly different than that in the picture. Pours a clear amber with a HUGE antique white head that leaves chunks of lacing. The funky aroma features plenty of biscuity maltiness, grapefruits, some toasty caramel, and a lemony graininess. Thin to medium-bodied. Some toasty caramel, biscuity malts, and graininess start things off taste-wise. Finishes crisply with some sour lemons and a bit of drying grapefruitiness. Decent balance. Solid brew. Drinkable, but boring style.

Mar 18, 2009 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours dark amber with a beige head. SMell is funky and light caramel. Taste is watery, light caramel. Not much going on here flavorwise. Medium body and high carbonation. Decent, but boring.

Aug 31, 2008 (25cl bottle) Hazy, dark amber coloured hue with yeast chunks and a big and beige foamy head. Sweet and toasted malty aroma with caramel and delicate fruity notes, accompanied by cinnamon spice and draff. Sweet flavour with a touch of burnt bitterness, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Draffy, toast-malty taste with a restrained fruit-character and spicy accents; medium-dry, slightly toasty and moderately sweet finish with a lasting caramelly aftertaste. A good but not a great one (11.08.08).

Aug 27, 2008 750ml from Sam’s, Durham. Really pricey at $17 but probably the best biere de garde I’ve had. Whereas some examples of this style can be a tad too sweet, this lovely beer manages to incorporate a wide range of flavors - some sweet malts, fruitbread, a hint of caramel - without at all compromising the farmhouse funk and zesty yeast/citrus/spice finish that I really enjoy. Very balanced, well integrated throughout. Wonderful stuff.
