Nice beer, alcochol seems higher than abv. Geiserich (1775), Vienna, Austria Jan 11, 2009 Updated: Jan 15, 2009Bottled: Noes is full of hops, aroma and bitter. Light hints of fruit, flowers and some sweet malts. Red color, foamy beige head. Only few malt sweetness, some toffe. Intensive hop flavor, citrus, flowers and bitter hops. Dry , quite bitter finish. Very good. cab (861), Denmark Jan 9, 2009 Bottle. 50cl. Pours brown with red edges, and a decent size light tan head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, nuts, and hops. yumyum (118), barrie, Ontario, Canada Jan 5, 2009 could just be the style of beer, but I was dissappointed in this one. subtle aroma of spiciness and some hops. nice copper colour. Taste really didn’t do much for me (again it could just be the style that doesn’t appeal to me) I found it to be uneventful overall, some spiciness and hoppiness in the taste with some bitterness in the finish. May retry in future french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Jan 3, 2009 Shared with Pyrozoid. Nice copper poor with a frothy off-white head. Aromas of bubble gum, caramel, indian pepper, alcohol, sel de celeri with creamy hints. Strong hoppy bitter mouthfeel - longlasting. Cask flavors, hints of nutmeg and pine. Very good overall. Pyrozoid (352), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 3, 2009 Bouteille de 500 ml. Deguste avec french tickler. Biere de couleur rouille cuivre avec un mince collet non collant. Odeur de sucre brun, un peu fumer, poivre et fruits. Gout de sucre, ble, sel de celerie et un peu fumer. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Dec 28, 2008 500ml bottle, best before 16JAN10. Mahogany, reddish brown color. soapy tan head. Big fruit cake aroma. Complex malt character. Light caramel, toast, toffee, nutmeg, with some oak. Flavor is deep earthiness, green hop bitterness, hidden malt sweetness is placed second in flavor to the hop. Finishes with a hint of chocolate malt. this beer is the cured for tghe common cold, when an Imperial Stout is not available. Cheers. chops (60), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Dec 24, 2008 500ml bottle from the lcbo. lots of good strong flavors. Not a beer i would drink tons of but great with this fondu im eating
