Apr 4, 2009 330ml Bottle - Dark brown in colour, with a bit of a haze and a small tan head. Fruity and spicy aroma with hints of raisins, cinnamon and cloves. Fruity taste with malt, spice and some roasted notes. Raisins, cinnamon, cloves and marzipan can be detected in the taste. Nicely balanced and very drinkable. I am impressed.

Dec 8, 2008 Bottle in Menton, 2006.
3.5
A spiced abbey double. Dark brown, cloudy, very small head that quickly disappeared. A touch of lace left over.
Sweet aroma of fruits—berries, and spices—cinnamon? Not much of the beer itself coming through. A touch of chocolate too. Full-on roasted malt flavor, though. A touch sweet, but not overboard, well balanced by roasted flavor and alcohol. Not a lot of hops noticeable. Dry finish, roasted malt, some hops?
Very well balanced. Spices come through extremely strong in the nose, but very light in the flavor. Well done again. A really nice beer.

Jul 10, 2008 33 cl bottle...pours dark brown w/ a mostly lasting, two finger, tan head (again, over carbonation). Wonderful aroma of dark fruits, yeast, caramel! The flavor was nutty, and spicy. There was strong hints of roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, and even a minimal amount of coffee notes. The palate was fizzy, tingly, slight sour and sweet. There was a lasting bitter sweet finish. The was the best beer from Mare Nostrum Brasseur du Sud. Excellent!

Feb 26, 2006 Brought this from Nice, as part of a 3-pack. Drank in a goblet. Expired about 6 months ago. Poured a slightly dark brown. Smells of sweetness and slight sourness. Taste’s actually smoky. Finishes smooth with a light body.
