Ce fut aussi l'une des bières brassées à la brasserie brabançonne "De Biertoren". Elle reflète de l'esprit estudiantin de la région de Leuven, mais déjà à un stade de fin d'études. Cette bière ambrée très mure laisse apparaître un ton presque mielleux balancé avec un fruité discret ainsi qu'un malt bien présent. Son amertume sans retrouve arrondie, lui donnant des allures d'une bière douce et facile. Elle est toutefois très capricieuse, et maligne en conclusion par un ton plus de caramel amer et sec. Tout à l'image de son étiquette, elle possède un superbechapeau de mousse régénéré par un perlé vivace et permanent.

This is an easy drinking Belgian Ale. Yeast and sugar dominate the nose and tongue with this one. A light golden pour, slightly hazy, with a fluffy white head. Malt is quite grassy and there are spices thrown in as well. Very tripel like.

Bottled. Amber colour, with particles floating around. Mediumsized beigeish foamy head, some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, mild fruityness, some mild alcohol and a bit yeasty. Flavour is much the same along with slight burning notes from a combination of spices and alcohol. Quite mouthdrying.

An easy pour into my 25cl tulip glass produces a three finger thick, amber tinged, light tan colored head. The beer is a red-plum color that shows a brilliantly clear, bright red, copper highlighted hue when held up to the light. As I pour this aromas of raisins are noticeable; a deeper inspection reveals a very sweet smelling nose that is a mix of fruit and sweet spices. Ample cherry aromatics, mahleb, fenugreek, candied orange zest, grenadine, a touch of ginger, some white pepper and some clove aromas. The sweet fruitiness is so big here that it almost seems artificial.Surprisingly dry tasting for such a sweet seeming aroma, though this does have a touch of sweetness to it. The finish is where that artificial fruitiness from the nose comes into play as this lingers on in the mouth with notes similar to cherry extract, blackberry flavors and a touch of cider notes. This has a sort of nuttiness to the finish that seems like it is a bit stale or perhaps even rancid (though this last part is subtle). As the beer warms up it becomes a bit more sweet, but again with that artificial sweetness to it. The beer is pretty light bodied for a beer of this strength, though it does have some heft to it.
Interesting, to say the least, I really wonder where this artificial fruit and sweetness is coming from here. Still it is a little too much and there isn't enough other things going on to provide any sort of balance to these flavors.
