Amber hazy with a two centimetre head and yeast deposits.
Fruity smell of sweetened peach and mango. Citric taste with a peaty note of roasted malts.
Bouteille 33cl couleur ambrée mousse blanche qui tient, odeur sur le caramel, goût légèrement sucré, caramel, sucre roux, épices, très agréable à boire
33cl bottle (7,9%) from Carrefour @ Cours St Michel in Brussels.
F: huge, off-white, long lasting.
C: coppery, hazy.
A: malty, caramel, fruity, bit caramel, biscuits, spicy.
T: malty, fruity, spicy, bit lemon sour touch, caramel, toffee touch, medium carbonation, probably not consistent batches here because I see quite different rates and this like previous Troublette feels bit spoiled but BBF: 07/03/2021, ok at least, drinkable.
330ml Bottle (7.9% vrsion) from Laureyssens Bottle Shop, Dinant, Belgium - Cloudy amber body. Yeasty nose, with some floral hops. Lots of orange-citrus, apple backed with spicy caramel and yeasty bite. Long fruity finish.
Birra ambrata dal gusto equilibrato, tendente leggermente al dolce. Aroma fruttato e leggermente speziato agli agrumi. Schiuma corposa e persistente. Bella rinfrescante, ideale abbinata a carni e formaggi.
Bonne biere pas trop sucree. Fruitee et epicee. Bien
Amberkleurig bier ruikt een beetje metaalachtig. Smaken zijn zoet en licht zurig. Verder fruitig met toetsen van bessen en framboos en een gistsmaakje.
Très déçu par le goût.
Beetje rokerige Amber. Licht van palet maat met een overheersende speksmaak
Ein wirklich gutes Bier mit vielen feinen Aromen nach Obst (das zugegebenermaßen schon etwas länger gelegen ist) und einem malzig-süßen Abgang. Fein verwobene Aromen mit mäßiger Bitterkeit. Dazu noch eine nett gestaltet Flasche. Klare Empfehlung von mir.
330ml bottle pours amber with foamy beige head. Aromas of dried fruit, heavy malts, bready yeast and spices. Taste of apricot, pear, marmelade, toffee, biscuit, Belgian yeast and clove. Plenty of carbonation, but fairly light in the body. Mild bitterness in the finish with some residual spice. A light and fruity strong ale with great label artwork.

Fair size white head poured atop a slightly murky mid-amber body.
Malt driven aroma - bread crust, golden syrup/honey, sweet biscuits, esters of pear & stewed peach, some pepper & clove & dried fruit.
High-ish carbonation adds a slight creaminess to a reasonably rich sort of body, has a sort of stickiness on the finish, dried out by subtle booze.
Once again malty on the palate - a slightly dominant burnt sugar/toffee note in the works, bread crust & toast, stewed pomme & stonefruits, spicy on the finish, touch of diacetyl in the mix too - bit out of the blue.
Middle of the road sort of Belgian strong - sort of in purgatory between a Tripel & Dubbel; not quite either really.
Una Ale potentísima de color ámbar (mucho menos dorada y con más sedimentos de lo que la casa promete en su marketing), espuma bastante consistente y muy clásica en aroma (maltas dulces y frutas) y sabor (afrutada y especiada).
Gekocht bij 2BE in Brugge tijdens het 7é bierfestival aldaar. Op mijn flesje staat 7,5 % alcohol volume. Het heeft een amber kleur en een zoete geur, een normale hoeveelheid schuim, dat niet helemaal wit is, het is gelijkmatig en wat inzakkend. De smaak is ook zoet, met wat zuur en een weinig bitter. De nasmaak is sterk hoppig bitter te noemen en duurt niet te lang. Enkele foto's staan op: http://www.beersfrombelgium.eu/nl/Caracole_Ambree-b-223.html
Aardige Amber van la caracole uit Dinant in België. 7,9%. Zurig kruidige smaak.
Robe abricot sec, mousse blanche volatile. Nez fruité, épicé. Goût à l'avenant. Belle longueur. Une réussite.
Hazy brown colour with white head, not very welcoming. Aromas of toffee, raisins and cereal. Taste is of dried fruits, caramel and yeast. Light to medium body and some spice notes. A bit of everything of the sweet side, but quite unbalanced.
Bottle at The Capital, Leuven. Hazy dark golden with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, dark sugar, dried fruit and yeast. Sweet malty flavour with fruity and slightly spicy notes.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear amber, velvety head. Nose is sweet caramel with Belgian yeast notes, fruits, raisins. Tastes mellow sweet and soft carbonation, sweet caramel, fruits, light spices. Solid tripel-style Belgian ale.
A very concentraded beer with caramel ,spices and minimal bitterness medium body amber color and consistent foam quite sweet.
On bottle.
Pours hazy brown, with sediment and thick white foam.
The scent is sweet, with notes of prunes and raisin.
It's a little watery, but very sweet.
23/08/2017 - tasting glass from 33cl bottle @ the brewery.
Cloudy amber with nice head. Nose is sweet malts, fruits, some spices. Taste is malts, sweet touch, ripe fruits, caramel, some spice.
Bottle at poechenellekelder,4.40?, abv is 7.9. Amber copper color, clear, coarse white head reducing but somehow persistent, looks fizzy. Aroma is mostly fruity with berries and some non invasive caramel, cake, cookies, marmelade, gummy bears maybe, a candy thing, some passito wine. Taste sweet, very light bitterness follows with some tart. Fluffy texture, carbonated. Failry dry long finish with a trail of starch and glucose. Good for dessert, not my preference.
7.9% alcohol medium white head, amber brown coloured body, fruity malts apple like smell, medium to high co2 medium bitter fruity banana peach like taste malts yeasts some.liquorise in the distance
Robe ambrée claire translucide. Col de mousse blanc cassé, assez aéré et mouvant, tenue moyenne. Nez doux, malté, fruité (fruits mûrs), compote. Bouche soyeuse, très douce, caramel, fruitée (pomme, abricot). Touche biscuitée. Houblon en retrait. Légère amertume en fin de bouche, avant une finale sucrée de longueur moyenne. Alcool très bien masqué. Corpulence moyenne, texture un peu collante. Ambrée très douce et fruitée, sans être lourde. Sans doute un peu trop sucrée pour certains palets.
Bought in a 750ml bottle from Drankdozijn.nl. Appearance; quite light amber colored beer with white head that quickly disappears (could be my bad washed glass). Aroma; Belgian yeast, caramalts and a bit of white wine. Taste; nice balanced sweet and hop. some toffee and malt. Also the Belgian yeast simmers trough. Not really complex. Maybe a bit flat, but a long smooth aftertaste. A beer you can drink in the summer, on a Belgian terrace. Might not be one that sticks in my memory. Cheers anyway!
Buen descubrimiento, aroma suave y lúpulo notable. Destaca su sabor como Belgian Strong. Color ambar. La descubrí en beerandbirras.com
