From backlog. Pours a black body with a tan off white head. Dark chocolate notes, oak and cedar tones with a hint of pepper, nuts, and a lightly roasted body. Nice spin on a brown ale.

Re-entering older ratings. Base reste la Maduro qui a déjà été détaillée dans mon autre revue pour cette dernière. Une des nombreuses versions qui profite d’un traitement du bois de cèdre, qui autant se donne bien pour une IPA reste mitigé pour la Maduro. Le gout de la brune reste un peu caché par l’épice du bois. Sympa à boire, mais un verre me suffit.

Entered to celebrate my rating number 20,200. Handbottled. An unclear red-brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of cedar wood, spices, bread, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, roasted malt, pepper, cedar wood, caramel, and brettanomyces, leading to a dry, roasted, and cedar finish.

Handbottle 33 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours a clear dark amber with a frothy and lacing beige head. Amazing spicy cedar aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel and a little spice but the spicy, peppery cedar is pretty much all over - love it! Ends dryish with a subdued bitterness. Great. 150311

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a medium foamy head. Aroma is dominated by cedar notes which gives the impression that loads of pepper were used in the making of this beer. Taste is quite astringent with loads of cedar and a spicy peppery feels which is not that enjoyable. I guess some of the caramel malt is noticeable though quite hidden by the cedar notes. Overall I can’t say I really enjoyed and must admit that this experience should not be repeated.
