Bouteille 341ml (1er brassin). De couleur brune et quasi-opaque. Nez malté de caramel toffee sucré et légèrement rôti, de sucre brun, fruité (raisins, cerises noires, notes de prunes), léger d’alcool doux, de mélasse et de chocolat. Ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture sirupeuse. Goût fruité sucré (cerises noires, raisins légèrement vineux, prunes noires, notes de mûres) avec des notes boisées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute goût de caramel toffee assez sucré aux notes rôties ainsi qu’avec des notes de mélasse brûlée et de sirop d’érable. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve un moyen goût réchauffant d’alcool aux notes vineuses et liquoreuses ainsi que des notes chocolatées jusqu’en finale, où on y détecte une touche de houblon herbeux. Post-goût long, légèrement amer d’alcool doux , léger de fruits (moût de raisins et de cerises) avec des traces de chocolat.

Purchased at the Dépanneur de la Rive in Cap-Rouge, Quebec. Pours a dark colour, almost black, with red highlights. The tanned head is creamy, big and has medium retention. Its lacing is quite good all around. Aromas are nutty, with molasses, grainy malts and hints of chocolate. Half-syrupy mouthfeel. The taste is quite good. Starts off sweet and ends mildly with bitterness. In there, I found light smoke, caramel, toffee, coffee, chocolate, strong liquor and dark fruits. Quite good, but a scotch ale, I wonder. A good mix between a stout and a strong Belgian ale.

Dried fruit, candy (or sugar cane) with some caramel though its presence is not strong. Ends with a slight pinprick of spices and bitterness

Intensiv süß-aromatisch-malziger Geruch, leicht brennend, röstig. Eher milder Antruk, malzig, mittel-intensiv, man stellt es sich nach dem Geruch stärker vor. Nur wenig süßlich, zusätzlich etwas herb. Würzig ist das Bier eher im vorderen Teil, danach lässt es spürbar nach und pendelt sich auf angenehmem aber betont milden Niveau ein. Im Abgang röstig-süßlich, nochmal würzig. Vielen Dank an den Doppelbock für das Bier! Test vom 23.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,11,12,10,11 - 11,10

Dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head. Sweet caramel and peat aroma with notes of figs and molasses. In mouth, a sweet caramel with warming alcohol, figs and prunes. Nice treacle sweetness. Rich and smooth. Like touching Mig’s calves in the moonlight. Tated Oct. 6, 2006 at a Dumdum/Duvell gathering. 750 ml X-mas bottle from Dec. 2005.

0.341l bottle courtesy of Sasquatch911 (thanks a lot Francois !!!) shared with ozujsko. Its presentation (aroma and appearance) might just be the best I’ve seen in a beer. Beautiful dark red/black, small but thick and persistant tan head. The nose was brilliant. Jaffa cakes, or, more closely, the orange liquor used in the best stracciatella icecream mixed with noble milk chocolate. Hmm... my notes are almost illegible here, but there’s something "almost"... guess almost no alcohol.....sounds right, because I could feel very little in the nose (though ozujsko did feel some when he opened the bottle). Some coffee can be found too. Man, I could smell this for days. The taste is a bit underwhelming after the genius that is the nose. Sweet maltiness that felt a bit Belgian (but not much), alcohol (not assertive (and not surprising, considering that I’ve heard the alcohol is actually above 9.5)), coffee, roasty bitterness, a bit lighter than I expected it to be, some orange jelly and a touch of chocolate liquor. Pure class. I only wish that the taste lived up to the nose. Thanks again Francois !
