May 18, 2006 Bottle (750ml). Via trade with Boutip. Deep hazy copper with a large foamy-rocky lasting beige head. Caramel roast malt, peppery sweet spices, lots of yeast, some treefruit and chocolate on warming - seemed a little metallic, but I think that’s the yeast - like a saison/belgian winter ale mashed up. I really like the flavour of this - like a malty Christmas spicey beer with chocolate non-bitter roastiness and a nice infusion of mild dark cherry sourness and herbal goodness - this is very nice. Decent body (finishes a little thin) and plenty going on (bitterness, syrupy somewhat lively maltiness) even if it’s not hugely balanced in the end. Thanks for this one Phil!

May 4, 2006 Caramel, toffee, honey, grass, jasmine and melon in the sweet tannin-full, tea-like aroma. Clear, deep brown coloured body is crowned with a large, off white/tan coloured, small-medium bubbled head that lasts well and leaves some lacing. Caramel and toffee flavours with a slight sour, spicy note. Herbal, grass/hay-like flavour lingers in the aftertaste. Quite malt dominant. Medium body with prickly carbonation that is a bit strong for my liking. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (BB 02.06.07, Depanneur on the corner of St Urbain & Villeneuve, Mar-05).

Apr 28, 2006 Belle couleur bourgogne avec un joli collet moyen. Petit arome épicé, un peu malté. Goût, un peu sûr, épicé et fruité.

Mar 9, 2006 Amber color, with a rocky beige head, leaving nice lacing on the glass, with a bready, caramelized malt nose, sweet nuttiness accent, grainy note, with a hint of buckwheat cereal in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate, with a malty character, with breadyish note, brown sugar, grainy malt accent, hint of molasses, and fruity leading towards an alcoholic warmth and malty finish.

Mar 5, 2006 Updated: Apr 16, 2006Clear redish-brown with a very small white head. Minimal lacing. Looks boring. Very little aroma. 8.5% alcohol well hidden. Thin body, above average carbonation. Fruity (apple & red fruits) with some cider-like acidity. Drinkable but not very pleasant. I’m almost tempted to say that the French cannot make good beer but all generalizations are false including this one. 750ml Bottle.

Feb 21, 2006 bottled as the st. sylvestre "flanders winter ale", with an interesting metal seal for the corked 750. a funky aroma of german-smelling hops, and a spicy vinous malt aroma. since the beer was labeled flanders, i assumed it would be sour; however, it’s more of a french-style brown ale than anything else. flavor is much more mild than the aroma, but despite both, the 8.5% is hardly detectable. more of a fall beer than a winter beer....does that make any sense?
