Aug 6, 2005 bottle. rich copper body with a fluffy off-white head. clean yeasty aroma, bread, butterscotch, and mild flowery hops. I guess I’m not too familiar with this style but it seemed to be quite hoppy and I certainly didn’t expect that. sweet, malty backbone along with bready flavours. Decent.

Jul 31, 2005 341ml brown bottle. Deep orange brown, thin layer of tan head. Caramel, woody aroma, (very light smoke?). Flavour is strongly malt dominated - dark malts, toasted malts and caramel malts are there. Lingering malt finish, slight nutty character, roasted malt tang as well. Not exactly what I had in mind for an Oktoberfest/Marzen but I’d definately drink more of this.

Jun 8, 2005 Good carbonation but no head retention. One taste dimension: fruity caramel. Too bad that is no hops aroma to balance it.

May 30, 2005 Updated: May 31, 2005Vibrant deep orange in colour with a powerful aroma of freshly milled malted grains. This one has a very potent malty flavor whose sweetness is balanced out by some roasted and bready accents, and the slightest hint of floral hops. Good stuff. Thanks Lubiere!

Apr 2, 2005 The Lure:
A gleaming ochre with scant head prone to lacing produces a subdued aroma of sweet malt and bready yeast.
The Festivities:
Decent caramel oranges are overshadowed by a dirty yeast, strangely more boastful in the colder temperatures. A lovely full body softens the finish and leaves but a light residual hop bitterness with barely any distinct flavors, if not a few sketchy flowers. Pleasantly drinkable if not for that yeast, but fails to make me want to drink more than what I have in my glass.
Transcendence:
A little too much powder on the face mars the natural beauty beneath.

Mar 25, 2005 Achetée au Dep. Lechasseur, Beloeil. Robe cuivrée tirant sur le brun ambré. Carbonatation correcte, mousse fugace. Doux arôme de mélasse. Maltée et peu houblonné. Manque de finesse. Peu intéressant.

Mar 22, 2005 Deep amber color. Sweet caramelized malt and crème brulée aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with caramelized malt, nut, roasted malt flavors. Finishes with a light hop bitterness.
