4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
341ml bottle from Broue Ha Ha, have had this a few times but finally got around to rating it. Hazy brown with a nice dark biege head that fades to a thin layer. Great aroma - dark yeast (if that makes sense) and fruit, some fresh bread, somewhat sweet malts, alcohol, slightly burnt caramel. Very smooth, full body, moderate to high carbonation, sweet but not overwhelming, lots of yeast with caramel and some vanilla. A mellow finish, carries through on the aroma, very tasty.

Date: February 28, 2012 Mode: Bottle Source: Discount Description: Opaque muddy brown pour with minimal head. Aroma of dark fruit, yeast/bread and some alcohol. Taste was heavy on the alcohol, then caramel and dark fruit took a back seat. Not as smooth as I was expecting and would prefer, but maybe some more age would do this well.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Yeast, bread, fruit, spice, and a little alcohol in the aroma. Sweet flavor with same fruit, bread, and spice. Finish isn’t as smooth as some of the classic ABTs out there, with a fair alcohol bite. Still a great beer, though.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Arôme de caramel, faible mousse, effervescente. Goût assez prononcé d’alcool, un arrière-goût amer.

3-month old 341 ml bottle. Pours a foggy brown with a pale beige head. Smells of caramel. Tastes of caramel, dry fruits, dates and sweet cream.Nice bitter finish with a distinctive booze feel. Alcohol remains for a few moments, but it tends to be forgotten after a few sips. Very good, but I felt the alcohol was a bit too present, maybe next time I try one, I’ll let it age 6 months like they suggest on the bottle.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
11.5oz btl. marked 0 5. Pours cloudy light brown with a sexy thin head leaving light lacing. This beer’s colder than I would prefer which dampens the aroma but still has a sweet malt sugary light vanilla nose. Tastes vibrant up front mellowing to candied sugars, light tartness from the yeast, smooth mild chocolate flavor and finishes with a bit of alcohol. For this beer... it will pack your bags for you because it’s going to take you for a ride.

12oz bottle brought back from Igloofest wkend in Mtl. Awesome, mirky, muddy yellow-brown pour with a heavy load of sediment that hangs in suspension. Aroma is funky, yeasty and malty. Flavor is rich with belgian yeast, malt and a spicy sort of funk. Some caramel. Really full-bodied and complex. Not a huge aftertaste at all.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
341ml bottle pours a reddish brown color with a small off-white head that leaves a few spots of lacing. Aroma is dark fruits and chocolate with hints of yeast. Taste is a roasted malty bitterness with some chocolate and dark fruit sweetness and hints of yeast and mild hops. This beer is quite complex and hides the alcohol quite well and is nicely balanced. Highly recommended.
