Bottled. Red/Brown colour with a fizzy remaining head. Ozon-like juniper aroma. Flavour of tit-bits with a pronounced malty sweetness.

dark brwon colour, large tan head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and dried fruit. Chocolatey flavour with dried fruit (prunes, raisins). Slightly yeasty, slightly sweet with a warming touch of alcohol.

Pours a hazy reddish-brown with a large amber head. Malty aroma wiyh notes of plum and spices. Flavors of mlt, and fruitiness up front with a spicy finish[brown sugar, clove, and cinnamon].

Bottle. Pours a hazy ruby-brown with a large light-brown head. Fairly mild aroma of malt, pepper, alcohol, sugar and dark fruit. Flavour follows the aroma. Looks carbonated but doesn’t taste it -- it tasted flat and watery. Dissapointing, I much preferred La Chouffe -- maybe a bad bottle?

Dark brown color with medium sized head. Spicy citrus aromas. Chocolate and licorice with a bitter yeasty taste and warm mellow finish.

Poured a reddish brown amber with a large foamy lighter tan head that laced. Aroma was a bit spicy, a lighter roastiness, dark fruits and yeast. Flavor of the same with a light hint of citrus.

When this beer was poured into my glass, it had a large tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that was fully diminishing. The body was mostly clear with lively carbonation observed. The nose was that of alcohol and some mild clove. The flavor was spicy and malty and the mouthfeel was tingly along with a burning sensation as it is swallowed.

Pours a rich, deep, hazed brown with a small tannish white head. Aroma of cinnamon or nutmeg, bittersweet chocolate, and some earthiness. More spice and earthiness on the tongue along with cocoa and slight citrus. Very good. Somewhat more warming than I expected for only 8.5%. Not overpowering, though. Finishes with a bitter spiciness remaining.
