2006 bottle - dark amber color, a littly cloudy with a lovely beige head and tons of exotic lacing. Wonderful aroma of vanilla, caramel, molasses, and cocoa. Flavor is just fabulous - rich and complex without overwhelming the palate. Notes of licorice, caramel, toffee, cherries, a hint of vanilla and some spices. Remarkably smooth and inviting. An amazing beer.

Deep, dark brown with ruby highlights. Lasting pillowy tan head. Tempting aroma of dark sugar, spices, chocolate, figs, raisins and caramel. Flaavour is sweet, yet not cloying. Some wonderful notes of prunes, choc, raisins, caramel, figs and light spice. Celebration in a bottle. Medium, silky smooth body. Such a well balanced, tasty beer. Top class, and very moreish.

Bottle sampled @ RBSG 05’ (Montréal) Grand Tasting
Dark auburn, thick tan head, tons of lacing. Nose of sweet caramel; no, beyond caramel, almost like carrot cake with a touch of fragrant hops. This is so good. I’m having a hard time putting the glass down to write, I don’t know how to commit this to paper. MartinT has a good rating, go read his, I’m going to enjoy this.

Pours a five-finger+ light tan pillowy head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Black color. Sweet spicy nose. Light-medium carbonation and very heavy bodied. Flavor is sweet, spicy and complex; high ABV is hidden. Clean finish. I don’t see anything wrong with it. $5.20 for a 330ml bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

UPDATED: MAR 19, 2006 Bottled, drank it at kulminator Antwerp. Dark brown beer with dens creamy head. The aroma is sweet with mild spices, brown sugar, and dark brown chocolate. The taste lets me think of mild spice, brown sugar, liquorice, roasted malts, ripened fruits and raisins. Well balanced carbonation and light alcohol warming. The aftertaste gives me more spices, liquorice and sweetened maltsand some chocolate as well. Very complex for a dark ale.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2005 This is the best beer so far. Strange hazy warm brown color with thick creamy froth. powerfull sweet nose with touche of gingerbread, caramel, coffee, speculoos, and almondcakes. The taste is on the sweet side and has a complex mix of spices, tropical wood (cigare box) caramel, coffee and x-mas pudding. In the aftertaste also touches dried fruits. Newyear gift from my kids.

One of the most complex beers I’ve ever had. Just so much happening in your mouth when drinking it.

UPDATED: SEP 15, 2006 Bottle 2004 at Kulminator. After taking some recommendations from other RBers, this was the first beer I ordered here. And what a drink. Only my third 5/5. Dark brown/chestnut colour with thick lasting beige head. Dark fruits on the aromas, but quite a fresh creamy nose as well. Beautifully soft in mouth, quite vinuous. Amazing raspberry, black cherry and creamy fruit flavours. Finish has some sourness and sweet fruit, both at the same time. Some dark choc as well. Wonderful. This was built up in my expectations to be good and in fact it was even more stunning than I had anticipated. A brilliant beer.
Re-rate 2005 bottle De Garre. This is as good as it gets. Great vinous feel and flavours. Wonderful and great great fruit. 5/5
