Small head, that disappears almost immediately. Yeasty aroma with pear, syrup and coffee. Good lacing. Very sweet, sugary and syrupy with some licorice. Alcohol present, but hidden because of the sweetness. Raw and heavy, but not impressive.

Caulier version, the ’massive ale’ in this series. Dark brown, hazy beer with stable off-white foam. Caramelly malts, candied fruits, chocolatey, nutty, yeasy with a rounded, soft, almost fluffy mouthfeel, bit warming alcohol, herbal hops and toasted malts in the finish. Very nice, the best of the (discontinued) Rochefortoises, in my opinion.

Cremig-malziger Geruch, deutlich alkoholisch. Süßer Malzantrunk, Alkohol ist definitiv nicht erkennbar. In den Vordergrund stellt sich ein Aroma aus vergorenen Früchten, etwas süß, weiter sehr malzig. Die Malzigkeit wird dunkler und cremiger, der Alkohol ist nun zu erahnen. Die Fruchtigkeit nimmt nun deutlich zu, das Malz zieht nach, eine herbe Note setzt ein. Hier ist das Bier sehr würzig und steigert sich immer weiter, bis es schließlich im Nachgeschmack nach und nach schwächer wird, die nun röstige Malznote bleibt als einziges konstant. Das Bier ist hier sehr würzig und stark, darauf wird man sanft vorbereitet. Überaus harmonisches, vollmundiges und leckeres Bier! Test vom 24.12.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,13,13,14,12,13 - 12,90

(Bottle 33 cl) Caulier version. Pours a dark and fairly clear reddish brown with a handsome, beige head leaving a gorgeous lacework as it dissipates. Extremely complex aroma of dried fruit, brown sugar and oak. Surprisingly (no mention of the 10% on the bottle) only a medium body dominated by roasted malt and dried fruit and then an extreme sweetness from the added sugar. Appears almost like a sweet vintage port. No bitterness at all. Some will be put off by the extreme sweetness finding this unbalanced. And they may very well be right. But I find this to be one helluva pleasant sipping beer. 010806

Bottled. Dark brown, with a dense beige head. Demerara, prunes, caramel, toffee and a slightly roasted note in the aroma. Quite sweet flavor, with dried fruits. Full, sweet, fizzy mouthfeel. Sweet finish with some alcohol. A fine brew that could use some food or snack. (060616)

Huge, tan, creamy head, almost as big as the opaque black-brown body from half an 0.33l bottle. Aroma has huge caramelly sweetness with hints of sourness and spice. Initially sweet, round, earthy, almost stale taste gives way to coffee-like roastiness with hints of bitterness, which turns into lingering bitterness and coffee. Mouthfeel is slightly watery. Reminiscent of a moccha coffee. Good, lots of taste, but maybe a little "loose". Could do with more "punch". Also a little too sweet.

An opaque brown beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, spices, and celery. The flavor is very sweet spicy with the alcohol shining thru.
