Aug 30, 2008 33cl bottle. Pours brown with reddish highlights, thin, fizzy, tan head, no lace. Smells of slightly sweet wood and some malt with a good dose of alcohol as well. Tastes woody and malty sweet with lots of lightly bitter wood flavors lingering. Definitely a sippin’ brew. THe sweetness of the malts really pops through the middle but the wood is what lingers. Full body, good carbonation.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a muddy brown colour with a big beige/light brown head. Aroma is dusty, sweet and slightly creamy in the vicinity of the glass. In the glass, it’s soft, sourish, and deep spicy. Fruit, horse blanket(?) and metallic notes. Plums as it warms. Flavour is sweet and alcoholic with fruity, metallic and spicy sourish notes. Finish is molasses with slight notes of banana and sharp, stingy alcohol notes. An okay beer, but I find a bit too metallic. 28-07-08.

Oct 29, 2009 33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. 2005 Vintage.
App.: Very, very deep ruby-black with a fairly large, light tan froth.
Aroma: Some nice, rich deep malts, quite fruity, also quite bright, some minty herbals, a fair bit of orange peel and citrus, brown sugar and molasses, a touch of licorice, kinda spicy, maybe some wood-related notes, but could be power of suggestion, a little alcohol.
Palate: Medium+ body, fairly low effervescence.
Flav.: Lots of molasses, brown sugar, licorice, tangy fruits, citrus peel, a little alcohol, some vague wood notes; fairly sweet mixed with a definite sour note and a little bitterness, finishes with nice deep malts a bit of warming alcohol.
This is quite enjoyable, but the organic acid brightness takes away from the experience.

Dec 7, 2008 2005 bottle via daddyslick...THANKS BRAD. Extremely fragrant brew...aroma pouring out of the bottle even before the beer reaches the glass. Smells of red wine, brown sugar, brett sourness, and a touch of cherry skin. Flavor is quite complex with molasses, maple syrup, alcohol, sour grapes and cherry skin making its tartness known late in the experience. Clear mahogany pour and small but creamy khaki head gives no insight into how amazing this beer is. Medium mouthfeel. A very tasty beer and glad I had a chance to try this one.

May 11, 2008 Shared by MikeTD. Thanks Mike! Dark brown body with a small head. The aroma is heavy caramel and prune. Nice mouthfeel--syrupy and thick. The flavor is just like the aroma with hints of oak and definite alcohol.

Apr 3, 2009 330ml bottle, 2005. shared by mspindler, big thanks for sharing Mike. Dark pour. Lots of dark fruits in the aroma, and a little something else I couldn’t put my finger on. Flavor was very metallic, like sucking on a wrench, kind of a let down, but interesting nontheless.

Nov 18, 2009 17th August 2008. Opaque dark brown beer. Sweet with a definite coca cola note. Dry finish. Not much else going on. It’s quite drinkable but was expecting much more.

Apr 12, 2009 I had this beer on my want list for a long time and I almost walked out of Beer Bistro in Toronto without trying it...my wife stopped me at the door. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of booze, dark fruit, and some oak. Deep dark fruit flavor. The beer is actually thick and still has some booze to it. Very sweet. Glad to finally try it.
