Bière de couleur ambrée avec des reflets bourgognes, claire. Au service, elle présente un col moyen et vif qui réduit jusqu’à devenir une pellicule de bulle qui reste présente tout le long de la dégustation. Apparence impeccable, appétissante.
Le parfum est avant tout malté et alcoolique, rappel le whisky. Il y a aussi le caramel, les fruits noirs et une pointe d’anis ou de girofle.
Le goût est sucré, malté et alcoolique. Il y a bien les notes de caramel et d’épices. À la fin, il y a un délicat retour d’amertume.
La bouche est liquoreuse, mais nette et pétillante. C’est un alliage qui rappel la complexité malté d’un spiritueux tout en gardant la fraîcheur de la bière.
Superbe bière!

Jan 2, 2009 On tap, served in a snifter from the Green Leafe in Williamsburg, VA. Dark brown brew with a moderate head. Smooth taste, with hints of fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Nice taste left in the mouth after the sip. One of the best beers I have had in awhile.

Dec 27, 2008 33cl in namesake goblet: Clear brown ale with medium rocky head which leaves a nice lacing. Nose puts forth dried fruits, alcohol and some nut. Taste is same with a bit of malt and toffee. Vinous character. Clean but a little unbalanced for my taste.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle, sampled at Christmas during family beer tasting. Color was a brownish one with red hints. Aroma of dark fruit, brown sugar, yeast, and light cocoa hints. Flavor was basically the same with a pretty solid balance of flavors. Overall, it was just an ok tasting beer, but nothing to make it stand out.

Dec 16, 2008 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of dark bread, toasted, nutty, caramel and milk chocolate, light hops and yeast notes of herbs, dough and earth, with brown sugar in the background. Head is average size, fizzy, off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy brown. Flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic to start, then finishes moderately bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a fizzy carbonation. Rich in malt and smooth all around. A nice beer.
