Bottle. Amber-red colour with a nice medium rather short lasting head. Bit sweet aroma with malt and spices, bit fruity. Flavour is sweet and nicely fruity, bit spiced with some anis and vanilla, slight chocolate and nuts. Sweet malty finish.

Bottle. Copper color with caramel, toasted malts, honey, and a subtle spice. Smooth and soft. I had this at a bar in Paris in June 2004.

75 cl bottle purchased in Paris, France for 3.80 euros. Pours a rich, glowing amber orange with a frothy cream head. Very good looking beer. Smell is very interesting, with dust, leather, and soft fruit malt. Full-bodied beer, dry with no lingering. Sweet plum, apple, yeast, coriander, pepper, and alcohol. Not overwhelming or even suggesting of 7.5% though. Flavors all stay with in the realm of tasty and nothing is bad here. Solid drinking beer, I could have drank the entire 75cl bottle, which is rare to say amongst many of the bigger bottles.

From a caged corked, H-6 on the cork, 750 ml. green bottle with a blurb on the back label, sampled at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Poured a clear reddish amber with a frothy, foamy head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Aromas of lightly toasted grains, a apple and grape fruitiness with a little orange zest, earthy yeast, and a soft floral hoppiness. Good even carbonation and a crisp, dry, velvety smooth medium-light bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant tasting, toasted grassy grains and caramelized sugary maltiness, earthy, peppery yeastiness, a light fruitiness, a bit apple and orange, spicy hops with a soft, but lingering bitterness, a slight taste of alcohol towards the end, the alcohol provides a subtle warming in the palate, and a dry grainy, subtle fruity, spicy finish. Not a great, but not a bad Biere de Garde, if I lived in northern France, I could see this being a everyday beer, easy, smooth drinkability, but at $6.99 a bottle here in central Illinois, only once in awhile ale.
