Sep 1, 2008 A very dark pour, basically black. Nice off-white head that reduces but not completely. Medium lacing. Aroma has a mix of fruitiness (grapes), malt, and some coffee. Taste has hints of caramel and coffee, with a light fruitiness in the finish. A very unique and enjoyable beer.

Aug 29, 2008 750ml Bottle. Poured very dark - darker than expected. Aroma was modest with some malt. Thinner mouth feel than expected. Good finish but overall not up to the La Fin du Monde level.

Aug 26, 2008 Alefest sample. Dark brown with a decent head. Aroma is simple dark fruit with a similar sweet flavor. Not very complex. Alcohol is low but still well hidden. Still overly carbonated. Good but I wish they would stop mixing baking soda and vinegar in there.

Aug 18, 2008 Dark brown body with a tall, lasting off-white head.
Fruity, sweet aroma and flavor.
Not overly complex nor much variation from several of their other brews, but well crafted and an excellent accompaniment to a great meal.
