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.

355ml bottle. Aroma is cinnamon, cloves, cream, chocolate. Flavour is lots of dried fruit, some cinnamon, chocolate and cherry liqueur. Rich, spicy and no intention of hiding the strength. Quite nice.

Bottle, BB 28.02.18 (from saveur-biere). Pours dark brown with beige-brownish head. The head stays. Aroma is sweet, Belgian yeast, malt, fruits, spices, slight metallic notes. Flavor is sweet and bitter, dark fruits, plums, malt, some metallic notes, acidic notes. Finish is dry bitter and caramel sugar. Covers alcohol rather well. Overall: ok belgian strong ale, but with the current rb rating (99 and style also 99) I was expecting something a lot better... Doesn’t even come close to the best Belgian Strong Ales or the best Quads.

Pours a dark brown with an off-white head from a bottle. Nose is of sherry, a little sourness, like a plum past its prime or something. Bready. Flavor is a syrupy cherry coke, with a bit of alcohol burn. Good beer.

750ml bottle. Pours an unclear, dark reddish brown with a medium, creamy, long lasting, beige head that laces. Sweet aroma of overripe fruit, cinnamon, roasted malt and yeast. Sweet flavour of dark fruit, roasted malt, cinnamon, vanilla and yeast with warming alcohol in a dry, almost wine-like finish. Medium to full body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. A world class Trappist-style ale.

Bouteille. Nez de prunes intense, de caramel doux, de levures, d’alcool et léger de malt. Goût de prunes (mûres, cerises?) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement par un goût de caramel toffee sucré et un léger goût d’herbes et par la suite d’un goût sucré de caramel malté et de levures et un goût d’alcool est présent tout le long. Arrière-goût légèrement amer d’alcool et légèrement sucré de caramel. [notes 2005]
