Huge big cork pop, it’s good to be on a fourth floor balcony to watch it fly away! Decent amber colour and okay head. Nice bready aroma with some soft spices. Tastes like dark malts, grains, with nutmeg and warming hops in there. A good Noël brew for sure.

Brewed in France..... Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo. Pours amber color with a small off white head. Aroma of caramel, warm bread and spices. Taste is also of caramel, spices, fruits and earth. Mouthfeel was dry and finished a bit on the sweet side. Not bad overall, and one of the better ones from France.

this bottle best before 05.10.2007, tasted 10.01.2009.
pours a cloudy red amber with a large yellow/brown head that lasts but is fluffy. collapses after a minute or so.
aroma of aged beer, well balanced flavors, christmas spices, caramel, slight fruityness.
flavor is spicy, caramelly, sweet, sawdust, honey. i can taste the aging has done some damage, but mainly to the palate, and it has added some cellary notes.

Sampled on 12/27/2008. This Biere de Garde pours a medium amber color from a 750ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with nice retention and decent lacing. The aroma is caramel malts, bready and some green apples. A medium bodied Biere de Garde. The malts are caramel and sweet. Somewhat bready with a good dose of ice tea and some green apples. The hops are fairly mild and mostly earthy. It gets a little sweeter and the hint of orange intensifies as the beer warms. Nice beer, very drinkable. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
