Grillé et fumé au nez avec notes chocolatées et subtilement caramélisées et un fond de cendre.
La mousse d’épaisseur moyenne descend rapidement dû à sa forte effervescence.
Le liquide est brun aux reflets cuivrés et légèrement voilé.
Caramélisée en entrée de bouche se transformant en caractère fumé, chaleureux et épicé en finale.
On y dénote quelques esters de fruits noirs mais l’ensemble est surtout caramélisé, poivré et fumé.
L’équilibre est cependant assez balancé même si je trouve le fumé un peu trop prononcé.
Mais, c’est ici un goût bien personnel.
Appréciée !

Shared can at Mandag i Annen, Cardinal. ABV is 10%. Dark brown to mahogany colour, beige head. Moderately warming mouthfeel. Aroma and flavour of malts, "spicy" Belgian ale yeast, brown kandij sugar syrup and mildly spicy / herbal hops. A very good quadrupel.

Bottle.
Clear copper pour, small beige head. Aroma is quite sweet, caramel, and bready malts, with some candied citrus rind. Viscous mouth feel, normal carb. The finish has big notes of orange, and the hops really come through in the end. The malt bill is huge though, and make this pretty sweet, heavy, and boozy. Not bad, but need some lightening up.

Loads of dark bready malts and some nice dark fruits and subtle spice. Soft carb and very full mouth feel. A very nice winter sipper for sure.

12 oz bottle Thanks. Brian! Aroma has mild roast, chocolate, earth. Flavor follows with some e old wood and vanilla hints. Not bad for a brew that expired 9 years ago.

Embouteille Juin 2014, bu 8/3/24, merci Willrunforbeer. Robe noir, clair. Peu de fume, bon malt fort, un peu de chocolate et anise. Pas d'alcohol. Surprisememt il n'y a pas d'oxidation. Le corps moyenne, mais pas faible pour l'age. Chocolat, anis, vanille, peu de rot. Interessant et bien-fait, especialement pour l'age. Mais certainement apres le prime.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Dark mahogany brown with light tan head. Lots of dark dried fruit, sweet caramel malt, not tons of depth, but not bad.
