| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 17, 2005 Raisins, plums, mangoes and grapes in the aroma with full sweet malt sweetness. Dark ruby-brown with decent tan head that recedes slowly to lasting cover. Fruit flavours abound with plenty of thick, malts to chew on. Some nutty and vanilla overtones. Pleasant light bitterness and herbal/mildly spicy hop flavour takes the edge off in the finish. Lastingly sweet aftertaste. Nice strong carbonation engages the tongue while palate is full and thick with malt. On tap at the brewpub with muzzlehatch. Rastacouere (5555), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 14, 2005 Dark ruby brown color. Smallish tan head. Big malt nose, I’d definitely take this for a doppelbock. Fruity (peaches, mango) and desserty sweet, almost reminiscent of vanilla, but rather balanced by the strong toasty nuttiness and earthiness. Decent hop bill shines through toward the finish and carries the sweet malt into a long aftertaste. Full body, rich and malty. One of l’Amère’s most straight to the point, but just as well executed. beerbuzzmontreal (2911), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Pleasant and powerfull aroma caramel malt and fruits. Extremely enjoyable flavors of fruits and burnt caramel. I really love this seasonal beer. Lubiere (4536), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2004 Very nice deep brown copper beer with a nice fruity aroma, raisins and vanilla, slightly vinous. Wonderful sweet malt, oranges, and nuts combined with some alcohol warmth. Good balance of hops and malts. This is almost like a barleywine. Excellent body...best tasted so far from Amere. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 31, 2003 Like most of the other beers here, very sweet, but for once this is not a debit. Brown sugar, hints of molasses, very little carbonation, but a strong enough ending hoppiness to keep it from syrup. Not great, but nice. dhurtubise (568), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 11, 2003 The bock beer brewed at this brewpub is fabulous. It is dark amber in colouration with a rich munich malt aroma. It is very malty with a fairly strong hopiness that I've only experienced at Denisons in Toronto for this style. It has a rich silky mouthfeel and wonderful synergy between malt and hops. MartinT (5055), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
