re-rate, 10/2010; courtesy of Pierre-André Priamo and the Gab’s crew - a hazy amber-bronze colour with a persistent beige foam; nice lacework; a solid yeasty and spicy aroma (nutmeg dominates); medium to full-bodied, a fair carbonation, some sweetness below and a solid astringent bitterness; very long estery and spicy finish with fair fruity notes and hints of candi sugar - the doctors have finally mastered this one :-)
re-rate, 6/2004 - the beer is still a bit nervous after the opening, but nothing tragic this time :-); cloudy dark orange colour, nice head, orangezest, a bit yeasty, deeply overcarbonated with a brutal and aggressiv bitterness, very dry bitter finish with notes of alcohol - a failure (4/5/3/2/5)
12/2002 (3/2/3/1/3) - I have already had plenty of bad surprises while opening a bottle, but this one is now holding the record. Its foam sprang up out of the bottle like a geyser and I felt suddenly like the winner of a F1 Grand-Prix. From the initial 25 Cl, all what I finally got was about 4 cl. OK for a single malt but quite short for a beer. This does not really matter anyway because this beer has very probably been altered. The colour is pale brown; the aroma is earthy, malty with notes of banana and vase; it is oily, heavy with a very unpleasant sourness in the finish. Am I unfair to rate this beer ? Yes, I am. But this is what can happen if you don’t master the bottling of your beer.
