From a 750 ml bottle. Poured a dark amber and orange with a light tan head. The aroma had caramel, cherries and oak. There was also a buttery, almost lactic note under the whole aroma. The taste had sweet peaches and some spice of cinnamon. There was alsoa little bit of dry oak. Plenty of carbonation kept the mouthfeel playful. The aroma was just a little strange to me.

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.

Sep 20, 2008 (Bottle, 0.75 l, at Kaisla, Helsinki, on 2008-09-19) Brownish orange. Hazy. Medium sized white head. Caramell, malts and fruitiness in nose. Full bodied palate with some carbonation, turns dry. Caramell, liquorice, bitterness, tiny hint of sourness, hops and bit of salty liquorice in taste. Long lasting malty and bitter aftertaste. Quite good.

Sep 14, 2008 75cl bottle from Taps Wine and Beer Merchants (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown caramel color with one finger white-tan head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of ripe dark fruit, candy sugar, spice. Flavor is much of the same with notes of bread, yeast, and sweet malt. Some spice and yeast notes as well. Generally medium body with sweet malt finish.
