Jun 5, 2007 *Drank at le Mondial 07*Amber red murky poor with little or no head. Aromas of creamcheese, raspberries, prunes, figs and meringue. Oily, nice creamy mouthfeel. You can feel the alcohol. Amazing balance, perfect bitterness, sweetness with a slight acid / sour twist. Added flavors of molasses, raspberry jam, oak, cherries and licorice. 2004 Bottle.

Jun 4, 2007 Bottle from the Mondiale 07.
dark ruby/brown color, no head.
aroma is raspberry, strawberry, prunes, and figs, and LOTS of chocolate. Flavour is awesome. again with the chocolate, but there is a slight sourness to it, that really adds to the fruit flavours, wow this really works well together, exceptional beer!

May 31, 2007 Mondial de la bière 07, bouteille 2004. Couleur sombre de prune, pratiquement aucune mousse. Arôme acide, petits fruits, framboises, chocolat. Goût explosif en acidité de framboises, boisé, chocolat. Alcool moins présent. Corps et effervescence moyennes. Quelle complexité et quelle découverte !

does not count  May 27, 2007 Bottle provided and shared with Hogtownharry. White label with dark center. Tried at room tempature out of brandy snifter. Dark burgundy appearance, still in nature with little lacing. Aroma redolent in figs, raisins. Flavors also of Figs, wood and strong tannins. Palate intense but pronounced tannins and sour fruit in the finish. Wait a minute this isn’t a beer this is a dry port.

May 26, 2007 The aroma of this beer is probably the best I have ever tried. It’s like a raspberry chocolate flourless torte. Unfortunately, the flavor didn’t live up to the aroma for me.

May 26, 2007 This beer is amazing, and seems to have only improved since I last had a bottle from the 2004 bottling. Color is an amazing vibrant dark purple that pours without a head. The aroma is of sweet milk chocolate, raspberries, and a touch of sweet malt. It is light on the palate, and has flavors of slightly sour malt, black raspberries, and a touch of milk chocolate - not too sweet yet enough to set it apart from other fruit beers. This is one of the best beers I have ever tried, and I can’t wait to try the few that I have left as they age.

May 24, 2007 2004 bottle from trade with Crosling. Pours a thick murky mahogany color with a small head. Aroma of chocolate, malt and raspberries. Taste is pretty much the same. Has a bit of tartness in the finish. The aroma is amazing. It just keeps making you take a deep wiff every drink. Almost like a chocolate and raspberry liquer.
