Thx to a friend for bringing this from France :-D

Head: small, off white, away fast
Colour: dark caramel brown
Smell: Caramels, malts, candy sirup, maple sirup, on the sweet side ...
Taste: nice amount of brown chocolate in the start, a bit bitter in malty taste let’s say .. banana, bit of booze, almunds, sweet dry end, sherry like aftertaste, i’m surprised !

Oakrock (60) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAR 22, 2013
Quite nice beer as a "mass product". Straight -good palate and great bitterness. Roasted apple and caramel. A little too much of "roast" taste which is essence, I’m afraid.

Birra francese, però molto simile ad una dubbel belga dolcina dal gusto fruttato e caramellato. Ottima. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Donker kastanjebruin bier, snel inzakkende schuimkraag. Aroma: caramel, as. Licht melig in de mond, zoet van smaak met licht bittertje.

czar (2217) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 21, 2013
from can. clear but dense brown pour, red tint, with a creamy beige head, some retention and lacing. chocolate and caramel malts, maple sweetness, faint nuttiness. soft carbonation, hint of acidity, medium body - velvety, decent grassy finish. but almost cloying brew. still enjoyable for a low priced beer that you can find anywhere-

barakihunter (186) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - JAN 10, 2013
Aroma is hard to smell, but what is there smells like toffee and grape. Appearance is a dark brown with a red tinge, tan head. Taste is grape, toffee, sticky, earthy, milky caramel, touch watery in taste, but not in consistency. Palate has a nice bitterness either side of the tongue, fades slowly. Overall, not bad for a brune.
