Zéro effervescence mais très savoureuse. Quelques années de plus ne lui feront pas de tort...
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml bottle from TheEpeeist! Nose is light yeasty banana, candi sugar, golden raisins, and a musty cheese note. Lightly hazy brown with a small beige head. Flavor is yeasty, lightly sweet, a light peppery note, and fruity toffee ending. As Maxwell Smart would say "Very interesting"
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750ml bottle. 10.5%. Pours ruby with a one finger tan head. Aromas of raisin, wood notes, light molasses, alcohol, faint papaya. Full bodied, and sweet, with fruity malt notes, maple, plum, white wine notes, mild bitterness and spice in the finish. The beer equivalent of ice wine. Rich, and delicious.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml bouchon liège, peluso. 10%. Brune foncée brumeuse, peu de mousse qui disparait vite. Sent le chocolat, les fruits confits et un peu de torréfaction. Goute sucrée, sirop de chocolat, fruits confits. Carbonation en bouche moyenne. On goute l'alcool, ce qui est un peu normal à 10%.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle. Pours a brown/tan colour with generous head. There’s a bit of everything it seems in the taste: caramel, maple syrup, fruits... Very nice!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle poured into snifter. Pours a nice copper/brown with a generous 3 finger thick head. Aroma is yeasty (think banana as some belgians), a bit woody also. Taste is pretty sweet, with a maple syrup profile, caramel, dried fruits and maybe a bit of vanilla. Mouthfeel is delightful! Low carbination, slick/slightly oily texture. Finish is very slightly astringent/acidic with some sugar in the background (which is pretty rare). Overall, a very very good brew from Trois Mousquetaires! I have simply never been deceived by them. The 10.5% abv is simply not perceptible at all...and treacherous! I simply love this brew! My 2nd favorite after their Baltic porter.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Brassin de 2011. Au nez, elle libère des odeurs de bois, de cuir et de fruits confits. Belle robe rouge foncée, opaque. A définitivement des arômes animales qui viennent se mêler à des fruits secs (raisins et canneberges) et du sucre d’orge en fin de bouche. Savoureuse, complexe, elle n’est cependant pas ma préférée de la série Grande Cuvée. Elle demeure très agréable.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours tan/brown with off-white head. Aroma has some coffee, and fruit. Taste has some spicy caramel. Smooth drinking.
