Aug 29, 2008 My notes on the St. Druon are terse, so we’ll keep the review terse too. The smell is soft and yeasty, with a mineral sheen, corn, mushroom and lemon. It makes an interesting combination, especially with the mushroom. The flavor is very boozy and sweet, with the added flavors of wheat and yeast that are so dominant in the aroma. In fact, the whole flavor is on the precipice of being overpowering. Sweet, but the harsh alcohol side makes this a mean beer to sip.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is mild and smooth. A few hints of wheat. Flavor is hm. Intriguing. Has a distinct flavor, that I can’t quite put my taste buds on. Tastes a bit like an Abbey Ale, only a bit lighter, less malty, and less alcohol flavour. Subtle hints of banana, pear and maybe...hmm....allspice? Coriander? Not sure on this. Pretty good though.

Aug 6, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a lacing white head. Dry cornish and unfermented wort aroma. Flavour is dry and grainy, light spiced. Mild yeasty touch into the finish.

Jul 19, 2008 Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one.
Clear light gold with a tall, tight white head. Lacing falls apart.
A lightly spicy, funky sweet honey aroma.
The flavor is lightly sweet with some dryness in the finish.
Easy drinking, light bodied.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle: Strong herbs (cloves and spices) over a sweet malty body. Softens by mid bottle, and then finishes light fruity and candy like. Travelled all the way from France to Brasil to El Salvador and still good. Another good brew from Duycks.
