3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle as The Bruery Cuir nr 05975 @ RBBWG thanks to Benzai. Hazy brown coloured beer with some medium carbonation and an average brown head. Alcoholic malty and slightly yeasty hinted aroma. Full palate. Finish is again rather alcoholic and malty with some herby to spicy hinted yeasty ending. Pretty good.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
I’m rating Coton on this review. It’s like alcohol soaked fruit mixed in with caramel, toffee, and spice. Packed full of flavor. Wish I would of bought more of this stuff last year. Don’t know how it will do with age, probably fantastic, but it’s drinking awesome right now.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
750 ml bottle, vinatge 2009 as "Papier", courtesy of Beerlando! A cloudy dark brown beer, with a minimal, mostly disappearing light brown head. The aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel), with notes of alcohol, toffee, dates, bourbon, sherry, sugar, maple syrup. oak, some cardboard,hint of vanilla. The flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic, almost no bitterness at all. Medium to full body, syrupy/sticky texture, soft/flat carbonation, long finish with light bitterness, heavily alcoholic. Extremely sweet and burning, tough to drink more than one third of a glass. Flat, too. Some nice notes, but that’s not enough for a higher rating. It exhaust after few sips.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 01/27/2012. Pours deep brown, burnt caramel with thin frothy head, fades to foamy haze, thick legs of retention. Aroma is rich, sweet and complex- candied dark fruit liqueur, rum raisin, honey yogurt, apple brandy, toffee, darker bread malts on the finish, still very hot. Taste is less complex than the aroma, with sweet banana plum, dark grains, sugary booze in the finish. Mouthfeel is thick and chewy, though overbearing if drank too fast. Overall, decadent, but still incredibly hot and lacking in balance. Still, I dig these types of beer, so it was a nice evening.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle 05975, The Bruery Cuir
Red brown colour, beige head. Aroma of malts, vanilla, wood, french toast and -maybe it’s the name- it does remind me of the smell of old leather. Flavour sweet malts, caramel, vanilla sugar, roasty tones, light milk chocolate. Full body, medium to long finish with wood, light bitterness and bourbon. Nice one!
