La Botteresse Brune

(Bottled) Hazy, very dark reddish brown with a smallish, firm and beige head. Caramely-malty aroma with ripe fruit (prunes mostly), and a touch of sweet licorice. Flavor is slightly homebrewish, but with licorice, caramely malt, peppery spiciness, and dried fruit coming along in a moment. Hides the alcohol reasonably well, yet some burning remains, and leaves your lips sticky. Medium body with slightly foamy, but soft carbonation. A quite pleasant and balanced strong ale. It’s sad this brewery is out of business, as this one was quite good. I’ll drink to that!

Bottle. Pours a brune body with a tan head. Spicy cloves, ginger and pepper. Lighter fruity esters candi sugar, nutty caramel and bananas. Good brew.

Bottle. Pours a deep, cloudy brown with a small, foamy tan head. Aroma of lots of spices (pepper, clove, and lots of others I can’t recognize), water chestnut. Flavor is equally spicy upfront with a nice malty backbone. Pleasant and easy to drink. Another nice BSA from La Botteresse. 8/4/7/4/15 (3.8/5)

Bottle. Aroma very spicy, herbal, dry. In the flavor more fruits become apparent (banana, apple), as well as sweet malt, rounding out the very nice spicing. Very tasty.

Brewed in Belgium....... Pours a dark reddish brown color with a nice foamy off white head. Aroma of earth, malts and some spices. The taste is much of the same with addition of some herbal notes. Mouthfeel is medium in body and the 9.5% is well hidden. Overall, not bad and pleasant to drink.

Darker brown coloured beer with some average carbonation and a rather small white head. Strong herby aroma, with malty hints. Full palate. Finish is bitter herby, slightly alcoholic touched. Not bad.
