Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits, and notes of alcohol, and malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and a lovely fruity note of both fresh and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Murky dark brown colour. Aroma is quite smoky with a thick fudge maltiness. Big and chewy, with lots of alcohol and a strong roast component. Dash of alcohol late. Not terribly cohesive...certainly next to the singular flavour of a rauchbier.

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Courtesy of Siroy. Hazy, amber golden with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving some lacework. Tart, malty nose. Medium body, some fruit and a bitter finish. Not exactly thrilling. 310507

(Bottle 34,1 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving laces. Fresh, citrusy hop aroma. Medium body with some caramel malt and then a very distinct, citric astringency. A bit raw and unrefined in my opinion. Courtesy of Siroy. 120207

2005 bottle from Rastacouere, drunk on 10/6/06
Medium amount of chalk-tinged beige/tan head slowly recedes to cover and eventually a ring, leaving minimal lace. Clear and filtered, unfortunately, with a mahogany and beige colored body showing soy-auburn highlights in the light and some lighter brass notes near the surface.
Light breadiness in the nose signals a touch of carbonation mingling with crytal malts. Very clean yeast presence, as usual for this brewer with just a splash of light peppery phenols on the finish. Mainly a light choco-caramel sweetness, with hardened pumpernickel notes balancing. Hops have mostly faded, though some citrus and pine notes still survive, adding a fruitiness that is welcome, though perhaps too reserved. What you would expect from an old ale, some raisins, prunes, figs, plums, dates, etc... is not completely lacking here, but just too drowned out by the hard crystal malt and slight cardboard/breadiness. The aroma is only medium in strength, and no alcohol is noted.
Flavor is again highly clean, beginning with breadiness, some very minimal vinous/oiliness suggesting prunes and sweet raisins and then a large drying effect is felt. Mostly hard crystal malt, dried bread and a touch of almond/vanilla, it seems to take control and stretches the beer very thin by the finish. The malt potential noticed right away runs out of steam. Perhaps due to the filtered nature and forced carbonation. Whatever the case, it ends as a well-made if rather simple and forgettable beer. Carbonation is moderate, somewhat overdone initially, but settling well enough. Alcohol is not perceived, though there is a tinge of sharpness on the very end, probably more a tannic quality from the hops and/or malt.
