Li Berwette di Noyè

Brewed by Brasserie Saint-Monon
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ambly, Belgium

Bottle conditioned, at Essen Kerstbierfestival 2004. Hazy chestnut, thin cream coloured head and gentle condition. Sweet malt and piney, peppery hop aromas. Sweet and chalky in the mouth with pleasant spicy corriander and peppery hops. Lingering sweet spiciness in the finish. Name means Christmas Wheelbarrow, apparently.

Beautiful dark amber colour. Strong ginger aroma. Sweet and bitter finish of grape-shells. Quite carbonated. Some fruity notes.

When glass is filled, the aroma of coriande is felt. Its dress is brown. it is necessary to be delicate to pour it. When one goute, the coriande is very present for it. That gives an impression of freshness. In front of a chimney, quite relaxed, it is divine... Congratulations

Very good beer, however a little too saturated. Pleasant.Corriandre is very present. Caramelized malt flavor.Sweetened will like the taste the women.

This beer has a dark brown body - hue apperance and a fine white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a low carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is sweet.

Dark brown, hazy; very yellowish head, dense. Soupy and spicey nose (coriander), warm-alcoholic. slight sweet taste, spiced & roasted malts; retronasal coca-cola like. Slight burning mouthfeel (carbonation & roasted malts). Delicate, yes, but a bit unsatisfying too. Not really a big Christas beer.
