Dark brown color with red tinge, light tan head of moderate size. Main aroma was roast malt, coffee, cherries, and chocolate. Underneath there’s hints of caramel, alcohol, biscuit, and apple. Tasted of coffee/dark chocolate, cherry, pumpernickel, roast, cider, and wood. Very complex. Body was a little light and dry, but extremely easy to drink.

33 cl bottle in gift pack from LCBO, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. JA01/09.

App.: Slightly hazy, deep copper, fair light tan head. Aroma: Brown sugar, molasses, light minty herbals, some light fruitiness and nuttiness, a touch of sour cherries and tangy fruits. Palate: Medium body and medium-low effervescence. Flav.: Much like the nose – slightly minty with lots of brown sugar, molasses, dried fruits, light tart fruits, a little nuttiness; off-dry, slightly tangy with a little alcohol and light nutty malts to finish.

A little light, but decent.

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep red with a big, fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet with yeast, fruity notes and milky overtones. A bit like yoghurt, actually. Cloying. Flavour is pretty much the same, but with a grainy overtone. Spicy notes as it warms. Quite yoghurt-like as well. Cloying. Same finish as well, but with slight apple notes. Overall a well-made beer as such, but too cloying for my taste. 07-02-09.

Poured form a 750ml, brownish gold with light tan head. Not particularly aromatic. Tastes of chocolate and malt. Nice dry finish.

Had it many time by the bottle. Had it by draft in the Sylvia Chantilly. Dark red brown with light tan lasting foam. For me this beer has everything I like, a powerful taste, some fruits and caramel feel, and a good ballance of sweet and bitter and sour, but not too much. this is one of my favorite beer. I love it. I had it many time again and everytime its just wonderfull. I love this beer.

Brown in color with a good sized beige head. Aroma is of caramel, yeast and malt. Taste is fruity with some raisins and prune as well as some caramel and malt.
