Commercial Description:
Un genre d'hybride bière/tawny/cognac... Des fruits, cerises, dattes, caramel et tout le pataclan sur une finale toute chaude d'alcool. Une gaterie à partager avec l'être cher.

For me the brewer, it's not made to be an American Strong Ale or something else. It's made to be a kind of barley based port-style with very little carbonation, just enought to protect it against oxydation.

Well first, the label says "Le Chaudron" but it was a mitake, the S is for the Bieropholie’s line. A very dark burgundy color beer with no head, minimal carbonation. The residual of the head stays and stick on the glass. Some golden hues are striking throught the beer. Her smell is quite an experience, fruity reminding me of sweet wine like "muscat", smell of grapes, malt and alcohol. Also some sherry like flavors. The taste is sweet, grappy, malty, alcohol warm and rich, buttery, scotch like with an end reminding us of an ice cidre. Hell of a beer there!

A very full-bodied beer, sweet with taste of wild berries, cherries and grappes. Alcohol is present, a digestive beer.

Bottle from Beerbuzzmontreal. He recommended this as being underrated. He was right. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a hint of heat. Dark brown body with red highlights. Full palate. The taste follows the aroma with more brown sugar falvors and some light fruits. Excellent brew.

Verre de dégustation, provenant d’un fût, dégusté au Festival Bières et Saveurs 2006 (Chambly, QC). Arôme: Odeur de petits fruits confits, de chocolat et de caramel. Apparence: La couleur est brune. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de petits fruits et de mélasse. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est plein avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence de fumé en arrière goût. (Rating #624)

Rating #800. 341 ml bottle courtesy turg. Dark mahogony colour with a quickly diminishing frothy off-white head. Rich toffee and dark chocolate aroma plus plum, raisin, cherry, and other fruit with oaky and acidic notes. Flavour shows port, citrus fruit, and more plum and raisin with a chocolaty and boozy finish. Also some acidity, almost like there’s some Flemish Sour in there somewhere. Full bodied, very warming but very drinkable for 12.5%. In Na Zdravi, i found a tribute to Orval. Here I find a salute to De Dolle. Many thanks turg for this gem for #800.
