Jan 18, 2007 Golden orange in the glass with a ring of white head. Aromas of Butterfinger, orange, red cherry and white pepper. Alcohol and hops on the also-sweet bite. Fills the mouth, then fades to a very quiet finish. Flavors of honey, candied fruit and some yeast. I hoped for more.

Jan 13, 2007 Bottled. (13% ABV) I expected alcohol would dominate this beer completely, but it doesn’t. The aroma has camfer, malt, some hops and spices as well. The alcohol is more pronounced in the flavor, which is quite sweet and fruity. It poured clear, golden with an off-white head. Medium body. A drinkable french lager weighing in at 13% ABV wasn’t what I was expecting! (061222)

Jan 5, 2007 Bottle at home. A truly awful experience. First off, it smells like solid alcohol. Then the tast is really not much diverse. Potent 13% with hints of sugar and caramel. I threw it out after two tastes. Another French travesty. I am totally confused why as to the ratings are so high. Only one other rater agrees the tast is just plain awful.

Dec 31, 2006 Orange-yellow slightly murky body with thin offwhite head. Smells sweet - malty and fruity. Tastes fruity and sweet, with a fair bit of alcohol, but the alcohol is fairly well-hidden. Medium-bodied. Tasty and pleasant, but not something I’d have all the time.

Dec 27, 2006 Updated: Jan 1, 200725 cl bottle, tasted in my own Belzebuth glass. Amber-copper colour, it pours a good slightly yellow head, that last long enough and leaves a great lace. Smells of honey, orange, some pepper, a bit of chocolate and hazelnut and I think I detected a hint of tobacco. Thick body and velvety flavor, and cider palate, with pepper, banana, some chocolate filled wihth hazelnuts, a rum taste. I seem to remember that, when it was 15º, it was darker, richer and more complex, but I didn’t take notes back then, so I’m not really sure. Anyway, a very good beer.

Dec 4, 2006 This board is totally off on the taste of alcohol. I just had one, its fruity and the alcohol is hidden very nicely.. well done.

Dec 2, 2006 Surprisingly good! Aroma of malt and sweet flowers. Hazy yellow, almost orange. Thick head. Very fruity, not any alcohol at all!
