Pours dark brown with a fading off-white head.
Nose shows toasty malt, some sweet brown sugar, bready malt and nutty character. Enticing.
Similar flavours, nutty and bready malt with the Belgian dubbel-like brown sugar note in there too.
Carbonation seems a little high.
Would be a really good brown ale if not for the brown sugar character.

Purchased at the Dram, a nice little offie in Sheffield. 330ml thin brown bottle, bottle-conditioned. BB 03/2008, served lightly-chilled in a goblet.
A: dark brown-ish colour, coming with small flakes of yeast-sediments; the off-white head is formed with strong hissing sound of fizziness and then dissipates fast, while carbonation remains lively underneath.
S: sour-lemony citrus fruits wrap in the middle the more settled, chocolatey and grainy dark maltiness and the flow of sticky orangey fruitiness typical of Belgian pale ales. Herbal yeastiness comes rather soft, as opposed to the same brewery's La Cervoise, but still leaves some trace in the glass. Not complex, but pleasant and harmonious.
T: lightly sour citrus-fruits, powdery and phenolic yeastiness, brown-sugary/Munich malts, crushed calcium pills and chocolatey hints, boild red beans... all descend on the palate at once... leaving at back exotic estery hints of Chinese red-bean paste and boild lotus-roots (typical of Belgian dark ales), mild aftertaste of dark malts and a soothing flow of very mild bitterness.
M&D: light on the body, moderately and refreshingly fizzy on the palate, alc. is nowhere to be found for a 7.0% ale, while the flavour has a healthy balance between dark malts, exotic yeastiness, very mild hops, and a necessary touch of sour and light citrus fruitiness. All in all, this rather subtle beer is not particularly complex or delicious, but the overall performance and balance encourage me to come back for more.
