Brown 65cl flip-top bottle, best before Oct 2007, drank May 2008.
Poured into a 'Palm' bulbous glass, four times. Good true ambre colour, a bit cloudy, even on the first pour. the beer has a white foaming head.
Aroma of hops and yeast, not a lot more.
Sweetish, toffee and caramel come to mind.
The sweetness of the taste does stay for a while, not bad really.
An easy to drink beer, nothing to write home about, but well worth trying.

Coming in a flip-top 650ml brown bottle, the BBE date is 15/12/06. From the label, it says the beer is brewed with "the best roasted barley malt to give theis outstanding beer its amber appearance and fine flavour". Let's see.
A: I pop-open the swing-top and the beer pours into my goblet an incredibly effervescent rocky and foamy off-white head, with a copperish hue in great clarity (NOT bottle-conditioned). the head very slowly settles down and leaves layers of uneven lacing along the way, fed by everlasting streams of tiny bubbles detected in the liquid.
S: sweetish caramel and toffee-like aroma is mixed very well with a slightly astringent lemony+flowery+musty+yeasty note like a typical biere de garde, plus a flow of sweet appleish hop aroma and melted candyish note at the back; on balance the nose is pleasant and fruity-malty, with the enticing caramel aroma as the theme.
T: sweetish caramel malts dominates the palate, backed by a little toasty bittersweetness and more sugary flavour. After mid-flavour some dryish herbal and slightly apple-ish hops are noticeable, but overall pretty weak, leading to a simplistic, lightly burned-sugary and weak malty overtone in the short finish.
M&D: medium-bodied and very simple-flavoured, this beer smells like a above-average biere de garde but tastes like an unfinished malty ale in need of hop input. The mouthfeel is alright--moderate, not too fizzy and not thick, but when coupled with the overall modest flavour the beer bores my senses pretty fast.
