A deep red-brown beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is malty with strong notes of chocolate and alcohol, combined with lesser roated notes - nice. The flavor is lovely alcoholic - burning the mouth, but also notes of oranges and wood with a thick mouthfeel - leaning towards a portwine. Lovely.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of moejuck/Thomas_E. Pours a very unclear orangey brown with a tiny, off-white head. Fat aroma of overripe fruit. Very full-bodied, roasted malts, overripe fruits and a rather alcoholic finish. Low in carbonation - high in complexity. Very delicious indeed. 150807

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to black with a lacing tan head. Dense malty and slight liqourice note. Smooth roasted malt and dense chocolate malty too. Dry and slight spiced finish with a smooth chocolate note. Mild spiced and chocolate malty. Nice one.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige creamy head. Aroma is wood, cellar, some grass and some mild fruityness. Flavour is the same in a good balance, but also shows some signs of alcohol and caramel. Still a wellbalanced and pleasant brew.

Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy mahogany colour, creamy head. Thick and malty with massive amounts of caramel. Sweet and full sized, very soft and cottony. Mild, yet very flavourful - caramel and smoke is prominent. Soothing and warming. Great winter beer!

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of dried fruits, caramel and fruits. Sweet flavour of dried fruits, caramel, fruits and hops.

Red mahogany color. Strong sweet caramel aroma, oxidized, and some hidden hop. Viscous malt flavor, a lot of sweet caramel, candi sugar, vin cuit, with a sticky sweet liquorice aftertaste; the hop is not enough aromatic, and the alcohol perception is maybe too much. Big but not complex and unbalanced.

Dark golden-brown colour. Fairly chewy rich aroma with hints of toffee but nothing else particulary distinctive. The body is big but soft. Flavour is quite sweet with toffeeish malts and tropical fruits. There is a lot of alcohol to dry out the finish. Not a bad beer, but lacks complexity.
