Bottle at home. Bit of a gusher. Dark mahogany with fizzy beige head. Dades, dried figs, milk chocolate, plums, raisins, lots of sweet malts, toffee, roasted dark bread, peach, dried sugared strawberries. Just lots of fresh and dried fruits with thick maltiness and some roasted and chocolate notes. Over medium sweet and light alcohol bitterness. Full bodied with mouthcoating carbonation and a light thin alcoholic finish. Wow this is again a great beer from Des Rocs.

Bottle from Bottle Baron. Hazy ruby/brown body with a lots of yeast chunks floating around below a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of fig, red apple, nuts and peach. Flavour of toffee, red wine and raspberry syrup. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Light fizz. The alcohol is well hidden but it does not drink easily.

Old rating. Best before 16/10/2012. 9.5%. Geruch nach Pflaumen und süßen reifen Kirschen. Der Antrunk ist vollmundig malzig, süßlich mit angenehmer Kräuter-Note. Dabei sind die dunklen Früchte deutlich präsent. Schön ausgewogen mild-weich-caramellig-mild. Schokoladenpudding. Der Nachgeschmack ist toll weich, mild, schoko-süßlich und dabei ganz leicht herb. Ein Traum! Geht in die Richtung eines Rochefort 10.
