Jun 19, 2007 330 bottle from LCBO Very pretty pour...brilliant gold, lively carbonation, and a strong head. Smells boozy, the cognac is detectable. Taste...sweet on the tip of the tongue, but nicely rounded in the back. Some slight amber characterstics, nice use of malt. Hops are there, but the cognac almost negates them. A well-made beer, certainly interesting, but nothing I’ll seek again.

May 7, 2007 Bottle: Wow, lots of low reviews. Pours pumpkin coloured, good sized white foamy head. Mine appeared flat as the farmer’s daughter, not streaming with bubbles like some of these folks below me. Aroma is sweet and grassy, an odd combination, and now I really have no idea what I’m in to. The good - it’s light, great mouthfeel, almost creamy in texture, very easy to drink. The bad - it’s very, very sweet. Syrupy sweet. You can definitely pull the grape flavour out, I noticed a bit of raisin and hints of orange to my palate. I liked it better than I expected, hence the higher rating I suppose.

Sep 12, 2007 Bright honey gold color, with a big fluffy white head, leaving laces, with a floral wet hay nose, with a fruity, cognac oakiness, a sweet honeyed pale malt, and a mild pineau white grapes aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet fruity raisiny, pale malt character, with a honeyed liquorish cognac accent, with a candi sugar sweetness, hint of oakiness, with a candied lemon peel note, and subtle pineau des charentes winey accent, with a nice carbonation, leading towards a sweet honeyed fruity pineau finish.

Apr 17, 2007 Looks and smells alright. But it’s a very sweet ale. Luckily, the sweetness doesn’t linger very long. Fruity and malty. Decent, and extra points for being a bit different.
