Aug 3, 2009 clear red amber. nice aroma of phenols, bread, malt and also a slight hint of oranges. I think there’s some hot alcohols as well though, kinda giving me a head ache. The flavors are good but the palate is quite thin and the alcohol is to dominant. I do quite like it though.

Jul 11, 2009 A beautiful reddish amber in the glass with a massive fluffy cream coloured head. The beer throws a huge nose of freshly baked cookies, bread, and a hint of plums. The flavour expands on this with spicy and fruity notes coming through. There’s also a hint of hot alcohol. The body is disappointingly thin, and the carbonation a little too dominant, but otherwise, this is a great beer.

Jul 4, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml. Arômes de malt caramel, légère touche de levure épicée. Très belle robe cuivrée et mousse abondante, effervescence active. Très bien maltée, le caramel est accompagné d’une légère touche épicée (la levure ?). L’effervescence active aide à alléger le corps. Finale assez sèche, où l’alcool se pointe. Intéressant.

Jun 14, 2009 330mL brown glass pry-top. Back label dated BB 07.03.10. Bought at Super Marché Rahman in Montreal.
Appearance: Poured into a tulip glass leading to 2 fingers or off-white creamy head atop a cloudy brown brew.
Nose: Rather muted with some slightly sour stone fruit notes, some light caramel and milk chocolate notes. Almost like chocolate covered cherries.
Palate: Medium bodied and with crisp/sharp carbonation. Lots going on here. The chocolate covered cherry thing continues and is met with strawberry and light toffee/butteriness. The palate is really sharp at first, but as the carbonation releases the taste buds, they are overwhelmed with fruit and dark candies.
Notes: Had no earthly idea what to expect from this beer. I bought it simply because it was from French Flanders. Stunning beer. Wish we could get it here.
