Presario hit it on the head when he said this was at the end of a bunch of Beirophile products that didn’t meet expectations.
Pours like motor oil that creates a huge head with a brilliant nose of chocolate mouse, truffle, smoke and a touch of yeast aroma. VERY NICE. A thick firepit has caramel melting over dark chocolate and then some dark cherries and dark fruit are thrown into this sensational mix in the mouth. Smokey, caramel, dark chcolate bitter finish.

Bottle: Poured a dark color ale with a huge foamy dark head with slightly better then average retention. Aroma of strong roasted malt with some lingering sweetness. Taste has a strong toffee taste bordering on molasses, which is more or less interesting. Body is about average with a slight alcohol burn at the end. Good but nothing to really write home about.

Bottle: Poured a deep amber color ale with a huge foamy head with excellent retention. Aroma of floral hops with some significant bitterness but less aggressive then the Bièropholie Casdcade. Taste has nice mix between floral hops, mildly sweet caramel malt and dominant bitterness at the end. Overall, less heavy then the Cascade and I think it has the edge.

Bottle: Poured a hazy brown color ale with a huge bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of dry hops and with some roasted malt. Taste kind of surprise me since I thought that Cascade hops were more floral and sweet then bitter but this is still very enjoyable nonetheless. Another fine beer from Bieropholie and a nice experiment.

On draught at Mondial, 2005. Had this one quite a few times. Lightly hazy body is a brilliant copper-gold with some amber highlights. Thick, white, fluffy/creamy head is full and lasting providing sheets of lacing. Smells of dry, earthy/grassy hops. Farmy, leafy, lightly bitter as well. Creamy, honeyish malt backbone can be sensed in the nose and comes alive in the flavor. Some sweaty dough-like notes and creamy sugar notes do detract from the crisp hoppiness of the aroma, somewhat. Full bodied and wonderfully extracted malt. Tons of noble-hops character. Sweet honey dough, caramel suggestions and sweet biscuits and honey. Surprising amount of bitterness for using noble hops, with no citurs flavors, which is a great change of pace (not that there should be any real citrus notes). Crisp, bitting yeast on the end, highly refreshing and drinkable. Moderate carbonation and a great drinkability for how malty and hoppy it is. Been waiting for this one for a long time, and it did not disappoint.
