Jan 7, 2009 Very sweet and jammy in the nose with some floral character and underlying marzipan. Lightly hazy golden-copper coloured body is topped by a low, off white head that recedes to a partial cover with some lacing. Sweet and fruity up front with notable but not overwhelming bitterness. Floral hop flavours and chewy cereal malt linger along with the bitterness i the aftertaste. Medium full body with decent, lightly prickly carbonation. Tulip glass. Just above cellar temperature. Bottle. Rahman. Jun-08.

Jan 7, 2009 Bouteille de 341 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler. Biere de couleur brune brumeuse avec un mince collet moyennement collant. Odeur d’épices, épinettes, alcohol et un coté fleural, peut-etre meme senteur d’algues. Gout de sel , algue, butterscotch.

Jan 2, 2009 2007 bottling. It certainly looks like a barley wine, orange-brown with little head. Smells like one too, with caramel, fruit and alcohol present. Flavour is big on fruit-- apples, apricots, peaches-- with a quick but noticeable alcohol kick. Finishes with the same fruit, plus some of the caramel from the aroma. Probably better fresh.

Dec 27, 2008 Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur orangée surmontée d un col de mousse fauve qui colle à la parois du verre. Au nez on découvre des arômes de fruits sucrés, de bonbons, de sauce soya et d alcool enrobé de caramel. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence faible moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de fruits caramélisés, de bonbons surettes et d alcool.

Dec 26, 2008 Biere d un brun ambrer, tres claire. Terreuse, legerement boiser, malter, sucrer, ainsi qu avec un gout de prune (pruno deshydrater) facilement decelable. Bonne amertume, qui coupe assez seche. Bien aimer. J ai acheter des bouteilles de plus pour les faire vieillir, on verra!
Brown-amber strong ale, very clear. Earthy, lightly woody, malty, sweet, with prune notes easily detectable. Good bitterness which fades quite fast. I liked it. I bought a couple more bottles to age.

Dec 10, 2008 Pours dark brownish, decent tan head. Aroma is earth, grain, soft fuits and some roast malt. Flavor is lightly tart, dry and fruity. Some harshness probably due to age. Not a bad beer.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottled sample via radiomgb. Deep amber in colour with surprisingly strong carbonation. Aromas of stewed fruit, caramel, sherry, woody hops , and booze. Fairly harsh in the mouth, with agressive fruit, tale malt, bitter tree bark, earth, and booze flavors. The strong carbonation doesn’t help matters. Might have gotten a little stale. Not a favorite, from a brewery whose products I normally really enjoy.
