0.5l can, 5.8%. Poured a coppery colour, huge thick white head that left fine lacing, lovely. Full, strangely dusty malty nose, weak notes of alcohol. Sweet sugary malty taste, carrying weak notes of smoked ham. Some hop bitterness and metallic notes. Interesting for a (French) macro but not my type.

Fizzy pop-like head. Aroma has whiskey notes in it, which isn’t such a bad thing. Tasting it is something different - it’s like beer with an aftertaste of peat bog, like sucking down rotten grass or something. Or maybe like sucking on a horse sadlle. No thanks. Drain pour.

Had this on draft years ago. So now I’m rating from a 500ml can. Pours pale amber with a frothy white head. Light aroma of smoky malt with some fruit. Med. body with fizzy/frothy carbonation. Flavor is caramel with mild peat; very mild; with very light fruit. It is a good drink, but not so good as I had hoped. Not dry, but not sticky.

Draught at the Marriott Courtyard, Paris Colombes. Golden amber with a fast fading whie head; aroma has lots of Christmas spices; they also dominate the flavour, which is sticky and sweet; the finish is then somewhat drier and predominately cinnamon. A reasonably well-balanced spiced ale.

Amber coloured with soapy head. Aroma is sweet, medicinal, grassy. Flavour is very sweet. The scent of smoked peat and whiskey is present throughout but very unpleasant.

From a can. Just slightly amber colored. Medium sized head. Slightly amber aroma, smoky, with malt, slightly sweet, actually just a bit too sweet. Flavor is very smoky. Surprising. Contains sugar, corn and caramel, and the flavor is also confused. Somewhat interesting, though way too sweet for me.

Draught in Menton, 2006. Amber, small head, lace remaining. Aroma of malt and spices. A slightly spicy amber ale. A bit sweet, with some hops at the finish. Citrus flavor. I guess there is orange added as well. Not bad, but nothing very special.
