Aroma of ripe figs, and dates, brown sugar, bready malt, alcohol, and a touch of port. Flavor is sweet, but also savory. Nice notes of smoke, and ripe fruit, with some sweet malt in the finish. awesome stuff.

3rd LCRBM. Wood, apricot and raisin in the aroma. Sweet flavor with brown sugar. Grapefruit, raisin and apricot. Quite a complex beer! Just a hint of raisin in the aftertaste.

Gifted by mon frere: pours brown with a small head. Aroma is caramel, malts, bananas, ambiguous fruitiness. Taste is somewhat sweet and quite malty. Has some characteristics you would find in a Belgian ale, like the fruitiness and even something in the yeastiness. Body has not too heavy but still had oomph. A pleasant beer to drink.

This $7 beer doesn’t quite have a $7 taste. Pours dark brown with good foam (mocha colour) and lacing. Sharp oaky taste in here, but light for a scotch ale. I’m not even sure whether this is a dark Belgian or a mild scotch ale. Somewhere in between. Caramelized malt. Definitely some woodiness and astringency in finish. Bottle.

Bouteille 500ml. De couleur cuivrée-brune et claire. Nez de mélasse, de caramel toffee aux notes terreuses, fruité (raisins, notes de cerises et de dates), petites notes de chocolat noir et de sucre brun avec des effluves d’alcool liquoreux. Assez ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux et une texture crémeuse et légèrement liquoreuse. Goût fruité légèrement vineux et aux faibles notes sûres (raisins vineux, notes de dates et traces de cerises) avec un léger goût de vanille et de fumée de bois lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté sucré rappelant le caramel toffee légèrement rôti et terreux avec des notes de sucre brun ainsi qu’un goût de mélasse sucrée et en finale, l’on retrouve une légère chaleur d’alcool liquoreux avec des petites notes amères de rôti et de chocolat ainsi qu’un léger goût de noix grillées. Post-goût légèrement amer d’alcool et de rôti un léger goût fruité (moût de raisins et cerises) ainsi que des traces de houblon herbeux, de noix et de chocolat.

Sweet malty date and roasted grain aroma with a molasses undertone. Murky brown, thin head. Dates are very dominant and there is a hint of tartness that may not belong . Watery. Thankfully, it isn’t as sweet as I feared. More malty than fruity on the palate. Woody and tart, but not quite like an oud bruin. This is not a favorite style for me, but this isn’t a good example. Bottled on date of 2/1/10. Overaged, perhaps.

341mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small tan head. Aroma is very faint, revealing notes of smoky sweet whiskey malts (though mostly sweet and not very smoky), and some subdued dark dried fruits. Flavour is similar and surprisingly subdued for such a big beer, with notes of sweet scotch malts, dark dried fruits, and maybe some oxidized notes. Very mellow and restrained - too much so. Not seeing what the big deal here is. Just OK.

January 2011 bottle via a trade. Pours with a cola/prune brown hued body with a medium sized off-white head that lasts. Aromas are of brown sugar, stewed fruits, black tea, mild spice, oak, nougat/almond paste. Very rich in dark fruit and malt character. Good complexity. Oatmeal. Light leather and a touch of smoke, with mild alcoholic warmth. Tastes are nutty, medium tannic, surprisingly dry, somewhat thin, tea, porridge and brown sugar. Light nutmeg, lots of cereal and toasted malt. A strong raisin and date flavor. Medium bitter, light earthy notes. Feels like a lot of faded hope. Mild oak. Thinner mouthfeel, light marmalade, medium bodied with lighter carbonation.

Bouteille 341ml. Couleur brun-rouge, peu de mousse. Arôme de mélasse, de grains grillés, d’alcool. Au goût, mélasse, fruits murs et un peu de chocolat en fin de bouche. Encore un beau produit de cette micro-brasserie.
