Bouteille 750ml. De couleur brune foncée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (raisins, figues, léger de cerises et de prunes, notes de pommes), de malt moyennement rôti, de sucre bonbon, d’épices (léger de cannelle et de réglisse noire, notes de poivre et de clou de girofle), moyen d’alcool (petites notes vineuses) et léger de chocolat noir et de pain avec des petites notes boisées. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût de levures assez fruitées (raisins foncés légèrement vineux, prunes, dates, léger de cerises vieillies, notes de pommes vertes) et accompagné d’un goût plutôt épicé (moyen de réglisse noire, léger de cannelle, notes de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté moyen-léger rôti, de sucre bonbon et de pain, léger de sucre brun, de caramel et de chocolat noir avec des notes de biscuits parallèlement à un moyen goût d’alcool aux notes réchauffantes (présent toute la gorgée) puis en finale l’on retrouve un goût moyen-léger amer et asséchant de levures épicées (léger de poivre) ainsi que des notes boisées. Post-goût long et plutôt sec, moyennement amer de rôti, de levures épicées (poivre), de fruits (moût de raisins vineux, dates) ainsi que léger de chocolat noir et d’alcool.

Bomber. Pours dark brown/black. Head dissipates quickly. Smells of sugary licorice and raisin. Tastes of toasted malt with sour blueberry and liquorice. Finish lingers. Wonderful.

It’s an almost black beer with a nice head. The aroma is sweet with notes of burnt sugar and roasted malt. The flavour is sweet with notes of burnt caramel, a bit of fruits like tangerine and apple. It’s OK, but need more complexity to make my day. 2422

Bottle. Pours nearly opaque with hints of light brown light coming through and a thin, creamy tan head with lacing. Smell is sweetish malt, some light spicey yeast aroma, doughiness, bannana and some earthy scents. Flavor is some smokiness, grain spirit alcohol flavors, fruit - plum, bannana some sweet and sticky cherry flavors. Flavor and mouthfeel also have a distinct dark bread quality.
