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.

11.2 oz bottle thanks to Glouglouburp. Wow this was some pretty darn good beer. Poured a deep brown with some red hues on the edges and an average size frothy light tan head. Aroma was complex with notes of chocolate, molasses, dark fruit, vanilla and port and only a bit of alcohol as it gets near room temp. Flavor starts with a mild sweetness of chocolate and possibly even a hint of licorice which then turns into a more alcoholic prescence but is that any suprise with this beer being 12.5%!! Not sure why this one is rated so low (at the time of my rating 3.55) but this deserves way more credit. Give me six or seven of these 12.5% monsters and I will be happy and drunk all night long. Thanks Dany!!!

french tickler (642) - Aylmer, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 20, 2007
Ruby brown almost clear poor with a tiny head. Aromas of alcohol, cherries, prunes, leather, apple-pear, madeira, port... very strong amazing aromas coming from this beer.Added notes of maple syrup. Very progressive aromas and flavors. Missing slightly effervescence... medium bodied for a 12.5% ale. Very sweet fruity flavors. Very good overall, reminds of a warm cognac beside a fire on a cold winter night.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 8, 2007
Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, and notes of alcohol, and malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and a lovely fruity note of both fresh and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

thebaldwizard (1203) - 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.

Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - APR 15, 2007
Bottle. Pours root beer color with a small head but expected from the huge gravity in this. Aroma is light dried fruits with caramel and cocoa. While from the fridge it’s a bit cold, the sticky sweetness really comes through. This really is a dessert beer. Im not sure of the vintage but it tastes like this has some time under its belt. It could probably use another 10 years or so.
