Thanks to Solan and JMFG for sharing this beer with me. Pours a thick dark brown. The aroma is sweet dark fruits and some grain. Flavor is the same, with a little grain and sweet dark dried fruits.

Bottle. Dark copper with a thick foamy mocha head with good retention and lacing. Aroma is slightly sour at first, but this disappears quickly to leave an healthy amount of caramel and berries. Flavor is caramel, molasses, berries, alcohol and herbal hops with a bitter finish. Medium to full body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle, thanks to Daknole. Mahogany-copper color. Aroma of the skins of overripe apples. Tan head. A little phenolic. Slight bubble gum. Bland and boring with imbalanced flavor, redeemed by being slightly bready.

Hazy dull amber. Has a fairly dull aroma - a little caramel, maybe some enoki mushroom. Fairly firm, has a decent caramel note, but it’s no prize.

Bottle from Glouglouburp. Cloudy amber pour with very little head. Smells like a handful of pennies mixed wtih some caramel malt. Flavor is malty with a tiny hop profile and some tartness. Just ok here.

UPDATED: AUG 19, 2009 341ml bottle brassin #1, Poured dark amber with medium head. Aroma is quite fruity. Maybe some cherries, a bit of hop. Nice rich aroma. Taste is much like aroma, bit hoppy on the finish. Very enjoyable beer. Rating #80

Bouteille de 341 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur rouge acajou et un col de mousse modeste qui tient bien. Au nez on découvre des arômes de vieux caramel, de bonbon au sucre et de houblon floral. En bouche le corps est rond avce une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de grain caramélisés, de grain torréfiés avec une finale une amertume persistante.

341ml. bottle bought at La Barick.The color is a dark copper with a thin beige head. The taste and aroma are of hops. Also in the taste is sweet toffe or caramel and a nice light bitter finish
