UPDATED: JUN 2, 2011 This beer reminds me of a good weizen eisbock. Or is it a dunkel eisweizenbock? Something. Those damn gnomes have me all flustered. Seriously. As an American male raised on Grand Theft Auto, George Carlin, and Gangsta Rap, gnomes don’t generally appeal to my demographic. But the beer in this bottle is quite good, those little red-hatted, ruddy-cheeked short bastards be damned. Dark and wheaty, yet with a clove-tinted port leaning that never gives in to pure sweetness. The winelike finish reminds you of the ABV, as does the glowing Christmas cheer spreading throughout your vascular system. Killer beer, but can cause holiday dementia. (1/3/09)

Spices, fruit, raisins and malts. Not as good as Houblon but not many beers are. Good stuff.

(750 ml) Le liquide a une robe brune et sa tête mousseuse se transforme rapidement en anneau. Au nez, des effluves d’épices traversent des vapeurs de sucre candi et de caramel. Des parfums fruités se définissent : les raisins semblent se démarquer avec gentillesse. Les saveurs sont très semblables avec un malt doux et une levure proprement belge. Au fil de la dégustation, les saveurs fruitées se complexifient. L’alcool me semble aussi plus présent, parfumé et presque chaud. En bouche, le liquide a un corps bien construit avec une effervescence appropriée et une texture qui me semble bien huileuse, à la limite sirupeuse. La finale se fait sur des notes de levure qui sont touchées par une amertume fruitée.

Not much head; dark. Orange syrup aromas.. cola like mouth feel with a hop bite at the end. Sweet palate. N’ice.
