bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada May 13, 2009 6,79$ for 341 ml in a mysterious convenient store... After 4 years of aging in this forgotten store, I’m not sur it has been aged in the best conditions but I am slightly disapointed with that one. It has a lot of similarities in the taste than the 2nd batch of Bieropholie Mackroken Flower, only thicker and even more complex. Very sweet, maybe too much; in french, "ça tombe sur le coeur". Beyond the aggressive sweetness lies layers of spices, sourness, fruits but it is very difficult to be precise. It also has some similarities with tawnys. Quality of product and a well-intended talented brewer don’t always result in great beers. Not underrated to me. Still, if you have the chance to find it, it deserves to be tasted for its quality and authenticity. kegbear (265), Orange, California, USA Mar 23, 2009 Bottle from Glouglouburp. Thanks Dany! Aroma of fruits (reminds me a bit of Westy 8). Tastes of fruits, spice and finishes a tad bit dry on the tongue. Excellent. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 13, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler et agaguk le 20 août 2007.
Ruby brown almost clear poor with a tiny head. Aromas of alcohol, cherries, prunes, leather, apple-pear, madeira, port... very strong amazing aromas coming from this beer.Added notes of maple syrup. Very progressive aromas and flavors. Missing slightly effervescence... medium bodied for a 12.5% ale. Very sweet fruity flavors. Very good overall, reminds of a warm cognac beside a fire on a cold winter night.
Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Sep 8, 2008 Bottle courtesy of glouglouburp. Pours brown with a thin white head. Smells boozy and fruity with some spicy hints. Tastes sweet with molasses dominating. Sweet dark fruity finish. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Jul 19, 2008 Bottle via Glouglouburp. Dark color. Smell of chocolate, alcohol, brown sugar, caramel, hops, malt, dark fruit and spice. Taste of chocolate, alcohol, brown sugar, caramel, hops, malt, dark fruit and spice. Nice and strong just the way I like it! My mouth had a nice glow. brewblackhole (1366), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Jun 28, 2008 Wow,the alcohol is literally blowing off this brew,monstrous choclate based creamy alcohol,dominating,unfortunately alos just a touch of rubberiness,the taste is also ric chololate and alcohol saturated sweetness,but again with that slight rubberiness,which indicates that eventually the yeast was overworked in trying to convert all this sugar and started to implode,even with that slight defect,an enjoyable brew,Thanks Kingpin after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA May 8, 2008 12-oz, capped and foiled. Thanks, Glouglouburgp! Black. Thin tan head that falls quickly to a slim rim, leaving intermittent lace. Big bold chocolate and dark pitted tree fruit on the nose, very assertive. Rich, creamy, flat body that goes watery here and there. A little too smooth to be really complex in mouthfeel. Fruit, chocolate, caramel, and toffee on the mid-palate. Quite sweet for sure. Mild, somewhat lingering white sugar-y, chocolate-y finish. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Mar 21, 2008 Poured an almost clear deep ruby color with a thin beige head. The aroma is of oxidized sweet fruity malt. It smelled almost like liquor when I popped the cap. Black grapes and dark cherry. Pretty fruity. Fruity flavor with dark grape juice and plums. Some light oxidation but less than the aroma. A touch of pepper and alcohol bitterness on the finish. Very warming. Medium to full bodied with a silky quality.
