Super sticky, super fruity. Loads of dark fruit, some subtle barrel, and woody vanilla. Thick mouthfeel, very soft carb. Sticky, malty, toffee finish with a punch of earthy, sweet, woody barrel.

(On cask @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Nov 17 2015) Pours clear deep cooper brown with a large cream head lingering with lace. Aroma of rich fruitcake, burnt sugar, stewed raisins, Christmas spices, vanilla, rum, very light wood. On the palate, toast and toffee, sweetness balanced by bitterness of roast and spicebox. Rum spirit notes in the middle, vanilla, heat. A little wood. Finish is lightly sweet and lightly bitter with some alcohol heat. Lingering rum in the aftertaste. Light body for style with fairly high carb for cask. Good and pretty sweet, a touch boozy, but sort of thin when it should be rich on the palate to match the nose. Not great but decent for style. Fun to drink a Quebec cask in Brussels though.

250 ml. draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Very dark brown, head is a big layer of smallish tanned bubbles. Nose is huge cough syrup, mixed with rum, cooked apples, brown sugar,… Taste is very heavy cough syrup with lots of rum, touch watery, cooked apples, spices, alcohol, warming, tea,… Watery but also syrup. Weird beer, so much cough syrup & rum, this feels like something I would drink if I were sick. I kind of like but the heavy rum & cough syrup profile is a weird one. I went from nearly disliking to enjoying it over the course of a glass. Still weird.

650mL bottle, sent from yourilevesque (thanks a lot, Youri), pours a hazy amber orange with a small white head. Aroma is very hot, with paint thinner, caramel, and rum - very boozy as well. Flavour is very hot, with notes of rum, sweet dried fruits and caramel. Despite being boozy, it is very cohesive. Very nice.

Cask at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, 20/11/15. Rich chestnut brown with a well appointed beige covering. Nose is figgy pudding, toffee, dark fruits, rum barrel, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises rich fruits, dates, light chocolate, toffee fudge, light spice, molasses, sweet figgy jam. Full bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a rising boost. Pretty boozey but a good balance... sweet but not OTT.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of rhum notes with some woody notes, some light residual sugar and toffee and caramel notes is pretty awesome. Taste is a complex mix between some rhum notes, woody notes, and some toffee and caramel notes with just the right amount of sugar. Body is about average with good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. I really enjoyed the barrel aging notes which IO thought were a nice enhancement over the base beer.
