Mar 26, 2009 Pours a lightish brown with a lasting off white head. Smells of dark fruit, spice, sweet, a hint of tartness. Tastes of fruit, molasses, caramel, some sugary hints, rosey. Full, rocky mouthfeel with nice carbonation. It sucks that this is one of the beers retired after the takeover.

Mar 10, 2009 I cellared a bit, and took out expecting a more drinkable beer. Looks: on the lighter side, with suspended bits and a tinted colour, white head. Aroma was spicey and yeasty. Taste was sweet and spicey and yeasty but not that well integrated. ABove average mouthfeel. Not too drinkable.

Feb 27, 2009 Got a special deal on this as Cellars Larpenteur is closing its doors. Sad to see them go, but I enjoyed the 30% savings. Murky brown body with a generous vanilla colored head. Aroma and flavor of tart berries, raisin, caramel, and spices. Nice mouthfeel. Sweet complimented nice with a slight sourness for an almost perfect mouthfeel. Added was a slight smoky finish, making this quite unique. Great beer here for the style. Nice! Too sad to see these guys go by the wayside as I only got to sample a couple of their beers.

Feb 22, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Secret Santa: Poured a deep amber color ale with a pale light brown foamy head with good retention and great lacing. Taste is a mix between some sweet Belgian style malt with a spicy peppery yeast and some light dry fruits notes. Taste is also a dominated by the mix between some Belgian sweet malt with light candi sugar and a spicy yeasty finish. Body is full with perfect carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well done and definitely better then expected.
