Sep 2, 2006 Bottle acquired in trade with MartinT (thanks!). Poured a medium mahogany color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, dark fruits, nuts, and light alcohol. Tastes of caramel, dark fruits, and had a brown sugary sweetness. Light alcohol in the finish (but not near the 12.5%).

Sep 1, 2006 Thanks to hopdog. Pours a translucent reddish amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla, caramel and alcohol. Flavors of the same but actually a bit lighter on the alcohol.

Sep 1, 2006 Poured a translucent caramel color, with a thin, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel malts, vanilla, some smoke, and light alcohol as well. Taste of sweet caramel, near cloying, with dark fruits, some toffee, and light alcohol as well in the finish.

Aug 28, 2006 A very full-bodied beer, sweet with taste of wild berries, cherries and grappes. Alcohol is present, a digestive beer.

Jul 16, 2006 (Bottle) Courtesy of Luc the Duke. Pours headless with an oily deep copper body. Nose of strong caramel, brown sugar and a overwhelming booziness. Flavour is somewhat like the Mild Ales of the Mid-West USA... highly alcoholic and malty. Cherry notes with a cognac elixir. I wonder what the "S" stands for?

Jul 8, 2006 Thanks to MartinT for this beer
It pours dark brown, almost looks like cola. It has no head, and very little carbonation. The flavor is caramel, sticky sweet. I probably would have liked it better on a cooler day. This is an autumn/winter beer, not one for a 90F (32C) day.

Jun 23, 2006 Updated: Feb 17, 2007courtesy of Oakes - clear adrk brown colour with a very little foam; aroma of plum and pear; high carbonation, very thick and oily, strong sweetness before a long malty and plumy finish and a big warming alcohol kick - way too sweet ... et n’a pas convaincu l’être cher ...

Jun 18, 2006 Cola brown color. Thin off-white head.
Hmm... interesting flavor. Fruits and nuts, odd grassy hops with Belgian-seeming yeast remnants and caramel. Really delicious complex flavor... something about it... maybe the dark fruits gives it a belgian feel. Also has a bit of alcohol edge... not enough to ruin the flavor as it is good, but enough to make it noticable.
