Nov 24, 2003 Updated: Feb 4, 2004 Bottled. Amber coloured beer with strong toffee aromas. Fairly sweet and sticky. Certainly a winters beer, just fit for tonight. Re-rated, 1 Feb 04: Thought it was slightly better the second time around.

Nov 21, 2003 I am highly impressed. Deep amber hue with nice foamy head, but not unruly that I had to wait to sip it. Wonderful smooth and buttery mouthfeel. The flavor is balanced between the malts with a bit of tartness on the backside. I just can't believe how incredibly smooth this one is!

Oct 22, 2003 First I have had of this style and I like it. Has a sweet toffee-like aroma with a nice off white head with good lacing. Color is a light amber. Flavor has some licorice qualities to it with some caramel undertones - very pleasing in my opinion. Goes down extremely well, rolls off the tongue. Best French beer I have had.

Oct 22, 2003 Nice sweet, leathery, yeasty malt aroma. Hazy, woody brown, lotsa sediment. Way sweet, tastes like honeysuckle with an underlying astringency. Aspirin-bitter finish. I guess this is good beer, but I'm just too unsophisticated to appreciate it. Difficult drinking.

Oct 20, 2003 This copper-amber coloured French Bière du Garde, really has a suitable name, beer to keep. After 2 years in the cellar it gets a little less sweeter in the 75 cl bottles.

Oct 5, 2003 Updated: Oct 17, 2004No head, amber body. I didn't get much more than a malty-sweetness in both aroma and taste. Pleasent but not memorable.... 2 years of aging has made for a more rounded and memorable experience with maple syrup and bicuits. (7,3,7,3,14)
