(50cl) Crystal clear mahogany body topped by medium beige head, nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, toffee, raisin/plum, some molasses, light alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, milk chocolate, some molasses, faint earthy. Medium-full body, sticky, low carbonation.

It’s dark, red mahogany and the head is small and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, syrup, caramel and candy sugar. The sweet flavor has notes of syrup, roasted malt, caramel, nuts and candy sugar. It’s quite nice.

Brown color. Strong licorice aroma. Licorice and chocolate in the sweet flavor. Not 100% malty. I can taste sugar and apple syrup. Perfumed, but I drank this beer with pleasure.

(Bottle) Pours a brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, cocoa, and maple syrup. Flavor of toasted malt, caramel, and dark fruit with a Dr. Pepper-like aftertaste.

Bottle sampled on 3/26/07: Pours a transparent copper mahogany with a thin, wispy-lacing light tan head. Sweet, doughy, bready malty aroma has a touch of toasty notes. Body starts bready and dark caramely malty sweet but one dimensional and almost too doughy.
