750ml 2006 bottle. Head is initially large, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel, toasted grain, cookie), lightly to moderately yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of brown sugar, raisin, clove, orange peel. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. What can I say? Great aroma, appearance, and very nicely balanced.

Oct 9, 2008 Poured at the World Beer Festival in Durham 10-4-08, attended with Drbayern and Celticbrew. Beer pours a nice copper color with minimal aroma. Not a whole lot of carbonation. Nice Lacy head. Sweet malty flavor with a little fruit. Not a bad beer.

Oct 4, 2008 [’06 Bottle, thanks Guerde!] Pours deep amber-red with a good lasting cream head. Aroma is very yeasty, but also some alcohol, and a little fruitiness (some type of berry). Taste was initially raisin heavy, but then more malt, a little alcohol, some vinous notes and just a touch of honey. Average mouthfeel, smooth and has a long finish. Another very nice beer from brasserie dupont.
