Nov 15, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper liquid with a huge frothy off-white head with good retention and beautiful lacing. sweet malt with caramel, yeast, alcohol, metal, herbs and spices. Very warming aroma. Flavor is also dominated by sweet malt and caramel at first, then, yeast makes itself noticeable. The second wave is very grassy and spicy with a fair amount of hops and warm alcohol in the final. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. I was very surprised by this one, it is much better and complex than what I remembered.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a huge beige head that lasts ages and also lots of chunks. The aroma is light but has notes of malt, caramel, honey and citrus. The flavour has a slight tartness to it and has yeast, citrus, malt, caramel and a little woodiness. Medium body, with high carbonation, and a long bitter finish. Very nice.

Nov 6, 2009 Botte (in NZ). A very lively pour - a hazy but bright orange-amber with a massive foamy head. A subdued nose, a little spicy alcohol and hint of nut. Generous mouthfeel, with plenty of alcohol bite on the palate. Again the flavours are quite subtle - only notes of caramel and hop fruit, but plenty of yeasty spice. Not quite to the same standard as the 3 Monts.

Oct 20, 2009 21/10/2009. 33cl bottle courtesy of TheGrandmaster. Gorgeous deep rose gold, just off-brilliat, with a huge cream airy head. Pretty clean... Caramel and subtle stewed fruits, with a surprisingly warm alcohol note. Tidier in the mouth, where it seems like a bock fermented with a subtle ale yeast... slips down way too easily. Pretty nice but I can’ figure out if it’s a bus stop beer for those classy French or a beer worthy of its literary association... I like anyway, as confusing as it is.
