6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle from HoTM. It pours hazy chestnut brien with a decent off the-white head. The aroma is sweet, candy sugar, caramel, cola, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake, cacao nibs and dull coffee. The taste is dry and toasty upfront, burnt toast, slightly charred, cacao nibs, chocolate bourbons, tobacco, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, nuttiness, walnut, pecan, warming booze, earth, coffee beans and some spice. Dry roast on the finish. Medium+ body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty punchy stuff. Perhaps rough around the edges, bits alright.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours deep red with a medium fluffy beige head. The aroma is sticking, caramel, cola cubes, some warming spice, peppery, fragrant, floral and pot pourri. The taste is crisp, dry, pleasing bitterness, quite spicy, peppery, clove, dry wood, sappy, resin, nip of alcohol, caramel, cola cubes, herbal and touch of Jaegermeister / covonia. Finish is drying, herbal and spicy. Medium body and moderate+ foamy carbonation. Not what I was expecting, but I don't dislike it.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, sweetish with notes of spices and / or herbs, ginger maybe? Okay beer. Not really my thing those spice-herb beers but drinkable.

75 cl bottle. Reddish brown with a greenish tinge and an off-gray head tah leaves no trace. Strong aromas of pipe tobacco, strawberry, balck coffee, leather, clove, nutmeg, peppercorn. Interesting nose. A somewhat sweet onset followed by a mellow, full-bodied sip and a not so bitter, slightly salty long-lingering finish. Not bad, my friends.

Merci à FX pour cette bière. J'avoue que parfois je ne savais pas exactement où j'étais avec un sucre trop poussé, mais avec une complexité très honorable, celle-ci n'est pas inintéressante. Le visuel est sur un brun voilé avec une effervescence soutenue et une mousse brune ne couvrant pas la surface. Le nez est sur une alliance cassonade, caramel et épices avec une pointe de citron. En bouche les arômes s'enrichissent avec lu girofle et de la coriandre. La texture est fine mais cela n'handicape pas la présence en bouche, bonne. Une légère astringence est toutefois présente. Longueur appréciable. Je n'ai pas forcément accroché, mais cette Silly est à tester.
