Li Berwette di Noyè

Bottled at Kerstbierfestival 2007. An unclear dark amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of spices as well as some brettanomyces. The flavor is acidic with strong notes of brettanomyces as well as notes of malt, caramel, and spices.

Bottle, 8%. Citric, moldy and sweet aroma. Muddy brown orange colour, very small tan head. The flavour is quite acidic, quite fruity and sour aftertaste.

I don’t remember seeing ’di Noye’ on the label, but the colour matched this one
330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Cloudy dark brown, small tight persistent head. Sharp sour and spicy aroma. Massive spicy and sour taste. Tingly sourness and carbonation on the tongue. Final taste is more like coffee - rich burnt or roasted malts. With yeast, it’s softer, less sour, and nuttier. Some dark berries hidden in the bitterness and sourness.

From Ambly, Belgium 290398 Bottled (label says 33 cl but thiis bottle is 70!) Dark Reddish colour to match the season Sour at front but with time a hint of caramel sweetnes Spices og some cinnamon but especially a developing "red berries" flavor - strawberry This should have been as a barbeciue starter - though the dryness should be more balanced - but may be a suppliment to fat nordic Xmas lunch/meals

33cl. bottle: A bit of a gusher. Dark brewed tea color under a massive beige cloud. Unstable head breaks down quite quickly. Big banana aromas fill your nostrils while spices seem to tickle your nose hairs. A small amount of cherry joins the action every now and then. Then all of a sudden the banana disappears letting cinnamon, cocoa powder and sweet caramel come forward. Upon tasting you are first hit with a tartness that you can’t yet place and then comes roast, distracting you from figuring out that tartness. Then lemon juice and orange peel jump forward saying "ha.. it was me that you were looking for!" Cocoa powder tries to grab your attention but the lemon and orange, in combination with the high CO2, keep it at bay till the finish where the cocoa and a touch of cinnamon and a touch of tin fight there way to the surface.

A Mes rate: Draught at Kerstfest, Essen.
Dark cloudy brown with no head. Amazing hit of coca cola in the aroma with notes of yeast, citrus and malt but... OMG coca cola with knobs on!!! Slightly smoked malt in the flavour with heavy citrus and a lovely hint of sourness in the finish. Very interesting stuff.
