| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Bouteille de 750 ml, sous le nom Brassin d’Hiver. Arômes de caramel et de fruits rouges. Très belle robe rouge bourgogne et très belle mousse qui dure éternellement. Moyennement ronde en bouche, un bon malt caramel accompagne les fruits rouges. L’alcool est bien dissimulé. Arrière-goût très court. Skyview (4076), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest as St. Sylvesters Flanders Winter Ale and shared by JK. Pours a semi-clear amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates clean. Aroma of powdered caramel malt, some tart berries, a hint of years and some vanilla. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with some tropical fruit, some citrus and alcohol. Finish is semi-dry, slightly metallic with an alcohol and tart berry aftertaste.

Flavor is dusty cranberry with a touch of cranberry. Average mouthfeel. I’ve had better. radiomgb (2068), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 Deep orange/amber in colour, thin off-white coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is plummy, acidic, light sourness, some toffee. The flavour is tart and sour, a bit thin, light citrus, some plums and a bit of alcohol. Lightly sour and thin mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes thin, lightly alcoholic.
I think that this spent a bit too long in the bottle. Its not horrible but its really showing some age.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 14, 2008 Amber with no head. Aroma has light fruity esters and ton of yeastiness, not much else. Flavor consists of rotten fruit, and not in a good way. Not much else going on. Thins out at times, just very bland overall. wetherel (1641), Encinitas, California, USA
