Bottle at a riverside restaurant in Vianden, Luxembourg. Pours an extremely dark, deep crimson-violet hue. A small, foamy, dark tan head leaves a soapy wash to mostly rejoin the body below. The aroma, which comes across a little boozy, is based in brown sugar malt, with earthy, phenolic fig, dark raisins, and a hint of smoky molasses. Flavors are very much the same, again based in dark brown sugar and molasses malt. Notes of rum cake, bread yeast, and dark baking spices lend an earthiness that makes up for the lack of balancing hops. Medium-full on the tongue and balanced, the palate sports a light booziness that shows on the semi-dry finish. Pretty good brew.

Not as great as Chouffe N’ice, but still a real good ale,..why is it grouped as "A scotch ale"?? Dark and sweet, not as many aromas as expected, but still good.

NIce beer, but a little too strong and without sense soetimes, can be described as a good beer but it was too alcoholic. The foam is good, of course.

Bottle; poured a dark brown with a creamy off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, yeast and spice. Caramel malt, then peat/roasted malt and hops on the finish. Hints of sweetness; occational alcohol warming, but alcohol well hidden. Palate was a little harsh at times and a little watery; didnt detract from the beer too much though. Not a favorite from a style that I normally like.

Fruity and yeasty. Magnificant head and colour. Strong alcoholic notes in the palate.
