Brewed since 1997 in Chambly, Quebec. Due to its complex character, this beer immediately attracted a lot of fans. Its fruity notes and high alcohol level often draw comparisons to port.
Crafted with four types of malt and just as many exotic spices, this deep brown ale offers notes of black cherry and dark rum.
Who can tame this powerful beast, the proud descendant of Trois-Pistoles’ legendary Black Horse?

355ml bottle from Arras Marche de Noel. Pours a deep unclear mahogany brown, medium off-white head. Strong dark toffee nose, continuing to taste with dark rye, dried dark fruits, dates, dark malt, firm alcohol weight, quite a satisfying quad.

Funny how I realized I don't have some beers rated. Love this, and have for years. Rich toasted malts with dried fruits, booze, mild sweetness. Mmmmmm.

From bottle to glass. Pours a clear brown with light tan head that retains throughout. Nice lacing down the glass. Aroma and flavor of figs, dark fruit and bread. Rich flavor and mouthfeel.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish ruby brown with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Aromas of cherry and date with Belgian yeast notes. More of the same on the palate with candi sugar, dates and cherry. Good carbonation with a Belgian yeast forward finish and lingering date / prune.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with translucent amber highlight when held to a light. The head is a fine foam moderate in size. The aroma is soft with raisins, dates, burn sugar and molasses. The taste is much the same as the aroma. The palate is a bit lighter than expected in a strong Belgian style beer, but this just helps it go down easy. finishes long and sweet with lingering molasses. Overall: decent.

That’s a good one, dark and fruity. Can’t read those funny words though.

341 ml bottle poured in to a Trappist glass. Dark brown colour with a dense lightly tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, overripe dark fruits, marzipan, a hint of booze, nuts and chocolate. Taste is sweet. Full bodied, lively carbonation. Slightly drying rich fruity finish with green apples and yests. Nice Quadrupel.
