Jan 17, 2009 From bottle at Le Sous-Bock, Paris. Hazy deep copper with a stable, off-white head. Malty and spicy aromas and flavours with a very dry finish. Quite full-bodied. Improves with drinking.

Sep 20, 2008 Deep copper-amber coloured beer topped by a thick sticky white head. Aroma shows lots of oxidized malts over some deep earthy caramel sweetness. Some toffee and a bit of spicy hoppiness that comes out as well. Flavour is okay, but there is a very muted character to the malts and that oxidized flavour that just won’t go away.

May 20, 2008 Pours a dirty light brown with some floaties. Some caramel, slightly earthy. Not too sweet, some bitterness is there. A bit bland.

Jun 30, 2006 Caramel notes, poor in apperance, light beer, nothing complex, maybe too young, but good malty taste

Jul 4, 2005 33cl brown bottle at Le Sous Bock - Paris. Labeled 6%, the dense reddish amber beer had a light head and medium body. Very light hops preceded a rich malty/berry flavor where the maltiness led into a slightly alcoholic aftertaste. Overall, a nice "red".

Nov 3, 2004 Hazy brown colour with a big beige head.
Aroma of mats, with notes of fruit and alcohol.
Sweet flavor dominated by malts and a bit smoke (whiskymalt ?). Not much bitterness and aftertaste.

Nov 1, 2004 Aroma is very fruity and hoppy. A mix between the cat pee-grapefruit of highly hopped IPAs with the sour wild strawberrry of a fruit beer. Hazy red-amber with chunks, topped with off-white thin foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with light carbonation. Tastes hit you one at a time, rather than a melded cacophony of flavors. Sweet, berries, straw, hops, yeast, metal. The finish is light acidic, with yeasty bitterness and metallic fruitiness. After is fruity with light chalky bitterness. Overall, not a bad beer, and reminds me more of an American pale ale with it’s hoppiness than it does a typical French brew.

Apr 11, 2004 A hazy red beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread, berries, and hints of plastic. The flavor is disgusting - primarily of plastic, but also roasted malt and a dry hoppy end.
