Bouteille 750mL, 1an d’âge: C’est brun. Visuellement, c’est brun. J’en déduis que c’est une bière brune. Par contre, elle tire un peu vers l’orangé. Au nez, je suis confus. J’ai déjà bu et apprécié cette bière et c’est bien la première fois que semblent s’y dégager des parfums de moût de pomme aussi acides, avec les notes habituelles de tabac, de caramel brûlé et de baies rouges, sans pour autant être particulièrement éloquentes. En bouche se retrouvent les mêmes expressions que mon nez avait perçu, avec quelques accents d’oxydation — en toute honnêteté, je suis surpris (pareil type de bière ne devrait-il pas être mieux préparé au vieillissement qu’une vienna ?) ! C’est bien mais je ne peux pas dire que c’est une indispensable. Pas sous ces apparentes conditions en tout cas...

330 ml bottle. Dark reddish body with a big beige head. Nice fresh aroma of ripe fruit and hops. Flavor is refreshing, some caramel, sweet malt, dry fruit and a biter finish. Complex and very well made ale.

Deep mahogany-cider appearance with rich, thick creamy creme brulee top. Light milk chocolate notes waft from the class. Later, a subtle yeastiness and caramel, chocolate banana develops. Flavor of candi-malt with a hint of chocolate and yeastiness. Alcohol is superbly masked. Enjoyable, but there is an oxidized cardboard underpinning in aroma and flavor that detracts.
