Pours clear dark brown with a finger of light tan head. Aroma of toffee, vanilla, caramel, light bread, light banana, some basement aromas. Taste is big, bold butterscotch burnt butter sweet, long sweet finish. Body is rich and creamy although with very rich carbonation, which kind of pulls the entire package apart.

33cl bottle, courtesy of and shared with Gnoff. 12.7% on bottle. Couleur acajou, col beige.Arôme est résineux avec malt caramel, sucre noir, raisin et fruits noirs. Bière qui est pleine de saveurs, un alcool réchauffant et axé sur une bonne présence du malt. Ce dernier donne un palais bien caramélisé, fruits noirs de prune, figue raisins, et note de malt grillé. Rappelle aussi la framboise fermentée avec une certaine aigreur et note de houblon. Facile à boire malgré ces 12%, épais liquoreux.

Expensive as hell little bottle of beer pours hazy copper with full off white head. The aroma is dusty caramel malts, apricots, a bit of spicy hops and booziness into the end of the draw. The taste has malts, crystal malts, brown sugar, apricot sweet fruitiness, spicy hops and chemical booze into the finish. Seems to be a good deal going on here but it doesn’t really come together and doesn’t seem like age will do it much good either. Hope I’m wrong on the later point though.

Bottled (BBE 2013)
Deep ruby color, small beige head. Strong aroma of dates, toffee, chocolate and dark malts. Full-bodied. Smooth palate. Toffee-fudge, warming alcohol, hops, dark malts. Extremely well all flavors in balance. A big suprise and super beer (at least 4 years old bottle).

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours beautiful copper with an off-white head. Aromas of warm sweet malt and spiritous fruit. Full bodied. Heat isn’t important until the gullet. Flavor is smooth, pleasant malt with a light astringency. Suggests wood barrel.
