Oct 7, 2005 Hazy light chestnut colour. The aroma mixes caramel, alcohol and very light apricot. Cherryish notes lead to a light toffee body. A little ale-like, not long lagered. Light body for style.

Oct 18, 2005 Absolutely no head forms atop the dark hazy amber-orange body. Sweet candied malts appear rich and fruity at first, until a belgian yeasty edge really reminds of candi sugar, which comes to accentuate the sweet peachy, prune and jammy juiciness. Biscuity caramel and mellow acidity complement the round. Medium bodied, active carbonation. Okay scotch ale.

Jan 30, 2003 Draught.
Body is medium orange-brown.
Aroma is
moderately malty (caramel, toasted dark bread, nutty),
with notes of toffee and smoke, hint of alcohol.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation, lightly alcoholic.
I'd prefer to see more hop/bitter development in the finish to balance the malt, but it's quite pleasant.

Dec 5, 2005 Plums and marzipan in the sweet and fruity aroma. Clear orange-tan body with no head whatsoever. Strong fruitiness, caramelized malt character and fair bitterness define the flavour. Medium body with low carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with ClarkVV, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Apr 6, 2003 Dark, murky brown with a thin head. Thick and chewy on the palate; just a little cloying. Mild carbonation. Strong sweetness is unbalanced against the mild hops (it's only very mildly bitter and zingy). Has somewhat of a nuttiness about it. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Malts seemed a bit green.
