(Bottle 34,1 cl) Courtesy of Siroy. Pours a pretty, clear, dark orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Vinous aroma with notes of dried fruit. Full-bodied, sweetish body with loads of vinous accents and some raisins. Not much bitterness. Very interesting. 211006

341ml bottle thanks to MartinT. Poured into a tulip glass. Pours a brownish black with s small head that quickly dissapates into small lacing. Aroma is strong with raison, sherry-ish cherry, some metal one may even say. But mainly I would say its a pruney alcohol. Taste is a bit metallic, with that alcohol pruneness present. A rather thin body, creating a watery mouthfeel. Low bitterness and a slightly less than moderate carbonation. A rather simplistic beer actually with not much going for it except its strong, canadian, and hard to come by. But sometimes thats all it takes.

Dark clear brown ale with a thick moka head. Sweet caramel and peat aroma with notes of figs and molasses. In mouth, a sweet caramel with warming alcohol, figs and prunes. Nice treacle sweetness. Rich and smooth. Like touching Mig’s calves in the moonlight. Tated Oct. 6, 2006 at a Dumdum/Duvell gathering. 750 ml X-mas bottle from Dec. 2005.

2005 vintage, 0.341l bottle courtesy of Sasquatch911 (thanks Francois!), and shared with ozujsko. Black, completely black beer with a tiny brown head. Impressive. The nose is pure instant coffee, some chocolate, and some chicory. The taste.... well.... it’s spot on on a kind of coffee substitute made from chicory (Divka or Bianka brands), and it’s quite good. Black, bitter chocolate. Roasty. Some very weak acidity, and maaaaybe just a touch of hops. Heavy, thick body. Great stuff. My first Imperial Stout, and I feel that this has every right to be called that.

0.341l bottle courtesy of Sasquatch911 (thanks a lot Francois !!!) shared with ozujsko. Its presentation (aroma and appearance) might just be the best I’ve seen in a beer. Beautiful dark red/black, small but thick and persistant tan head. The nose was brilliant. Jaffa cakes, or, more closely, the orange liquor used in the best stracciatella icecream mixed with noble milk chocolate. Hmm... my notes are almost illegible here, but there’s something "almost"... guess almost no alcohol.....sounds right, because I could feel very little in the nose (though ozujsko did feel some when he opened the bottle). Some coffee can be found too. Man, I could smell this for days. The taste is a bit underwhelming after the genius that is the nose. Sweet maltiness that felt a bit Belgian (but not much), alcohol (not assertive (and not surprising, considering that I’ve heard the alcohol is actually above 9.5)), coffee, roasty bitterness, a bit lighter than I expected it to be, some orange jelly and a touch of chocolate liquor. Pure class. I only wish that the taste lived up to the nose. Thanks again Francois !
