Cloudy ruby pour with a thin offwhite head. Appealing aroma of raisins, berries, malt and rich chocolate. Very good flavor of rich malt and chocolate with berries and raisins. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Very enjoyable.

Robe brune claire surmontée d’une mousse beige mince qui s’estompe. Arômes de caramel. Saveurs de caramel et de fruits rouges.

Bu le 11/12/07 à Vices et Versa, en fut (20 oz). Ambrée très foncée, bon collet. Arome de malte choco caramel épais, céréal brute doux. Goût d’orge malté crmeux et doux, avec un soupson de réglisse plaissant. Riche et doux!

<i>Any first impressions?</i><br /> -A creamy head with ample lacing decorates the dark burgundy/mauve.<br /> -Some mineral notes first appear in the discrete aroma.<br /> -Raspberry and cherry fruitiness are well-integrated to the caramel maltiness.<br /> -The round maltiness is gladly exposed by the feeble bubbling.<br /> <br /> <i>What if you dig deeper?</i><br /> -Malt sweetness nicely expands into hazelnuts, chocolate, and damp earth.<br /> -This feels a little too early in its lagering, so all flavors aren’t quite coming together yet, but the endemic bock character is definitely there and full of tasty potential.<br /> -The aroma does stray away from initial mineral allusions after a while, offering subtle but ripe berries, and grainy pils malt.<br /> -This beer is a smaller version of their Bockée, which must be a very nourishing doppelbock. Can’t wait to try it! <br /><br /> <b>On tap at the brewpub.</b>
