Bouteille de 750 ml partagé, bu à Brouhaha à Montréal le 9 août 2009. Brune nouisette brulée, petit collet. Arome de caramel anglais malté, beaucoup de petits fruits muris épicés. Goût de petits fruits alcoolisés, malte un peu épicé, bonne amerturme. Une bonne bière de Noël fuckée!

Bottled. Brownish with a red gleam. Light brown head. Ripe fruits, sweetness, vanilla and caramel in the aroma. Flavour as well full of prunes, vanilla, sweetness and marzipan. Medim to full bodied. Sweetish and warming end. Very nice.

75 cl bottle at my garage-tasting May 8th. Black color, lovely brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, dark fruit, hops, yeast and spices. Flavor is much the same, with a fine discret sweetness. A very fine mixture of fine tastes.

Pours dark brown with a finger of mocha head. Extremely sweet aroma with notes of plums, wine, cola, and chocolate. Flavor contains far less sweetness, with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, spices, and belgian yeast. Not exactly sure how i feel about this one, though it certainly isnt a bad beer by any means.

Bottle. Pours a brown nectar with a tan 2 finger head. Chocolate and coco, sweet sugar with a hint of citrus and spices. Big warming alcohol and a coco spicy finish. Good beer!
