A reddish brown ale with a thick brown head, creamy. In aroma,spiced caramel, curacao, smooth and onctuous. In mouth, a smooth oily caramel, burned notes, very nice and rich, orange peels, smooth lingering hops, very good. On tap at Mondial 2011, June 9, 2011.

In short: Liquefied caramel and candies in a pint. Decent sweet beer
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Clear dark burgundy body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: Nose has a lot of sweet malts, liquorice, burnt caramel cake. Taste is more of the same. Lots of sticky caramel, liquorice candy, some molasses, spicy hard candies. Mouthfeel it thick, sticky and oily. A bit too much of a sweet affair for me but this is nonetheless a well made beer. Another night at the pub... Local brewpubs (and beer in general) have left me with some worrying gaps in my memory and I’m now convinced that there has only been five saturday nights in the past 3 years.
