3Vandoo (16), Quebec, Canada Feb 1, 2006 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!
lalubeer (57), Canada Aug 28, 2006 A very full-bodied beer, sweet with taste of wild berries, cherries and grappes. Alcohol is present, a digestive beer. moejuck (1111), Ohio, USA May 10, 2007 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. TaktikMTL (2100), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Sep 6, 2006 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) OKBeer (1106), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Mar 1, 2006 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.
