Bottle @ RBESG2005. Quite nice nose of caramel, butterscotch and sweet ice cream. Hazy dark orange body, with a small off-white head. Good sweetness in the flavor, with some hops in the end. One of the best Biere de Gardes ive tried.

Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. Aromas of chocolate, caramel, fruit, and spice. Pours a transparent redish-orange with a nice off-white head with decent retention. Chocolate and caramel up front with some light fruitiness. Finish is a weird combination of sour roastiness and spice.

Bottled @ RBESG2005: Dark golden coloured. Unclear. Medium off-white head. Yeasty fruity and sweet aroma. Flavour is light acidic and citric with some light spiced notes. Ends on a dry and light sweet note.

Murk dark copper with a frothy tan head and creamy lacing. Caramel, English toffee, orange, and lemon with woodsy notes. English toffee, caramel, and cookie dough in the flavor. Medium body , creamy texture, and dry finish. Great beer. Thanks Fly

750ml. bottle 2005. Murky orange color with a huge off white head and lots of floaties. Aroma of oranges, lemons and a bit of butterscotch. Flavor was dry, bitter hops, citrus and the butterscotch that was in the background of the aroma really came out in the flavor, unfortunately.

Bottle ala JCapriotti. Light bronze color with a thin white head. Fruit aromas of melon and marshmallows. Mild wood yeast in the backdrop. Has a real triple nose. Malt, sweet flower and fruity flavors seem to abound. Mild spice in the backdrop help to keep things in check. Seems very much like a triple in all areas.

Bright amber body. White creamy head. Malty vegetable aroma with a stale grainy taste. Some decent sweet corn... vegetable malt. Good, but uninteresting and stale-like.
