Dark ale, fermented in the bottle.
Inspired by a Breughel painting, “The Flemish Proverbs” (1559), in which several Flemish proverbs are depicted amongst which is the expression "He’s a pilaarbijter" ("pillar biter"), which means, 'He’s a hypocritical man.'

[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (3/17/2008 4:34:09 PM)
"Pours out in a hazy brownish mahogany colour with a rich frothy tan-coloured head. Yeasty aroma of dark cherries, anise and brown sugar. Fruity and yeasty flavour of dark cherries, dates and plums with yeasty notes of mild pepper, brown sugar and fudge. Medium-bodied with a lively carbonation. Spices, dates, cherries, chocolate and brown sugar in the finish that could have been linger a bit longer. "

""Dark brown color. Large sized beige foamy head. Aroma is malty, caramel, sweet and a touch earthy. Medium bodied Belgian ale. Malts are a fruity and sweet, but not with the usual fruity ester one would expect in a Belgian. Yeasty and highly carbonated. Very drinkable, but not a good representation of the style. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is sweet. ""

"Bottled. Brown colour with beige head. Leaves some slight lace. Aroma is caramel, spices and some fruits. Quite strong zest coming through. Flavour is sweet malts with spices, herbs and some fruits. Also some candyish sweetness noteable, which bothers me a bit in the flavour. Otherwise a rather nice beer. "
