Jul 5, 2009 Brown-amber with a bubbly brown head. From first pour, it is evident that this diverges sharply from the usual style. Brown-sugar and molasses strike the nose first. Honts of aged wood and sour cherry notes waft in. Richly flavorful, medium-bodied mouthfeel with multifacted palate of marsala notes, figs and then a caramel and chocolate-cherry finish. Wonderful melody of aromas and flavors lap over the senses. Depths of figs and brown sugar continue to reveal themselves. Sweet sugar-fig finish.

May 21, 2009 Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Vintage 2007. Slightly hazy reddish brown with a dense and creamy beige head leaving laces. Sweetish aroma of dried fruit and a lightly fusty aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, dried and overripe fruit with some brown sugar. The finish is dry with hardly ant bitterness. Appears a little dusty and over the top really. 010509

May 15, 2009 JMFG gets the thanks for this one. 2007 vintage. Malty, caramel and dark fruits in the nose. Flavors are more of the same, with a strong malt character with a good sweetness and a good alcohol kick.

4/25/2009: Pelican Grand Cru has a sweet, orange candy aroma. It is extremely malty with a muky brown color, a dense ivory-colored head, and a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Really, this beer is very much like a Scotch ale. Excellent!
Sample from bottle at Dark Lord Day 2009. Rating #62 for this beer.
