Tasted at Bieres et saveurs. Prunes, grapes and burnt caramel taste. Can barely detect any alcohol. Lubiere (3523), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Dec 7, 2008 A dark clear brown ale with a thin off white head. A nice caramel and prune aroma, alcohol. In mouth, licorice and candy sugar, light prunes. Good and rich abt. Tasted at Mondiale 2008, June 1 2008. beerbuzzmontreal (2771), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Oct 29, 2008 Pours a clear reddish brown color with a thin beige head. Aroma of liquorice, fruits and malt. Good flavor of bubble-gummy yeast, liquorice, fruits and malt. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and medium carbonation. This beer doesn’t compare to the great ABTs like Rochefort, Westy and St-Bernardus, but it’s still a pretty good beer. Pyrozoid (251), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Sep 6, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler @ Bieres et saveurs) Une biere brune tres foncé avec un mince collet non-collant. Arome de chocolat, blé, épicesvin rouge et cerises noir. Gout de vin rouge, alcohol et de raisins. Sammy (3287), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 1, 2008 Festival Bière et Saveur 08. Best of this new brewpub. Dark with a mocha head and lace. Good carbonation. Neutral aroma. The taste gets better,it grows on you, its a thick mouthfeel. There was a sourness characteristic that didn’t work too much against it but was a surprise to the brewmaster himself.
