Bottled@HBF2015. Slightly hazy ambery red colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is wood, some caramel, spices, mild yeast, citrus and some spruce and pine like notes. Flavour is more traditional sweet malts meeting some fruity and floral notes along with quite a big spiced and yeasty edge to it.

The house beer of La Ferme au Chêne in Durbuy, brewed at their premises by Danny Prignon of Fantôme once a year. Thick, stable, off-white head, colour a deep amber with copper hue, clear but cloudy after adding the deposit. Aroma of dried leaves, bitter honey, tobacco, caramel, mint, hazelnuts, orange peel, tonic water. Dry citrussy onset of orange peel, fresh, rounded, mellow with a caramelly and lightly nutty maltiness in the middle, spicy yeastiness, long leafy hop bitterness in the end. Not far away from Fantôme’s own saisons but, let’s say, more accessible. Update: re-tasted last weekend and it has become even more clean and less ’Fantôme-like’, more middle of the road as it were, so I wonder if it’s still Danny Prignon who brews this these days... I therefore have to revise my rating to an average of both.

Courtesy of BelgBeerGeek. Thx! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG II. BBF 07/2013 (written with a ballpoint on the date strip). Pours a murky amber with little head. Smell is grains, sweet malts and oranges, spices and booze coming through. Taste is sweet grains, caramel malts, oranges, bitter herbs, dried orange peel and a slight odd chemical touch, smidgeon of booze. Bit thing, grainy & fizzy body. Passable and agreeable but not the greatest one around.

June 2009: Finally got round to drink this .75cl green bottle purchased at the brewery in 2008 purely to review at home. I poured the bottle into three different glasses, in one pour, wanting the sediment to stay within the bottle until the final glass. The first glass held a bright amber beer with a large white foaming head and showed good carbonisation, with a lively stream of bubbles rising up through the beer. The second glass held a slightly duller looking beer witha wispy head and very little in the way of carbonisation. The third and final glass held only a small amount of beer, it was sludge like, a dirty dishwater brown. There were hints of malts and hops from the first two glasses, the third was all yeast smells, as I expected. All three glasses tasted tangy and sharp, it was also a little bitter, unusual for any Belgian brew I’ve come across before. The third glass had more of everything and I’m sure it ’Aided my digestion’ the following morning! I struggled to come to terms with this beer. Not a Love-Hate dilema but not far off. I wasn’t overly impressed with it at the brewery (on tap there) either. Can’t be cruel but this doesn’t ’float by boat’ at all. The third glass however, the one containing the sediment and grimbly bits was fantastic, even though it loooked disgusting.
