Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

Bottle. Pours a pale brown, with a thinnish head, but passable lacing. Nose is quite sweet; toffee, fruit, spice, malt. Palate is soft, sweet, and malty, but complexity comes from the spice and fruit. More impressive than it first appears. Solid.

Pours reddish brown nice head. Sweet malty aroma slightly fruity. Not much in the flavour department. Malty sweet, slight chocolate notes. Pretty dull.

Cuivrée et limpide, elle offre des arômes de boisé et de malt caramélisé. Saveurs légères et douces de malt et de caramel, légèrement houblonnée. Arrière goût agréable et léger.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Sweet toasty malt character, hints of char, coffee, light emphasis on dark fruit skin. Caramel and toffee. Nice.

Bottle thanks to Scrizzz into pint glass. Pours a dark but clear brown with some redish hue to it. Big seafoamy white head that fades pretty quickly leaving no lace. Nice aroma that reminds me of fall: nuts, earthyness, wood, some vanilla, roasted malt. Flavor is the same with a bit more roastiness (almost bitterness) upfront. A bit of a plumb frutiness in there too. Medium to light bodied with medium carbonation. Overall: a nice example of a nice style.
