| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 <b>In short: </b>By-the-book but superior fruity Belgian amber ale. Good stuff
<b>How: </b>Bottle 750ml, about 1 year old
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy redish-brown body topped by a medium beige head that quickly recedes to a ring of foam
<b>In long: </b>Nose of earthy hops, wood and such along with the usual Belgian amber ale fruity esters. Taste is surprisingly nutty with lots of fresh and dried fruits. Finish is fruity with a hefty amount of woody hops. I really liked the overall nutty and woody feeling of the beer. Nothing new for the style but this is yet another way above average beer from St-Feuillein. These guys know how to brew beer. Which is a good thing since they are a brewery. goozen (1088), Leiden, Netherlands

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2008 Bottled. A cloudy dark red/brown beer with a big, quick disappearing beige head. The aroma has a good maltiness and notes of caramel, fruits, spices and a light herbal touch fro the hops. The flavour is overall well balanced, not overly sweet and with a moderate acidity. Again some caramel and the spices are well present. Medium body, lively carbonation, long fiinish with almost medium bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden. Surely a good beer.
