Apr 3, 2009 330ml bottle, 2005. shared by mspindler, big thanks for sharing Mike. Dark pour. Lots of dark fruits in the aroma, and a little something else I couldn’t put my finger on. Flavor was very metallic, like sucking on a wrench, kind of a let down, but interesting nontheless.

Apr 2, 2009 Very full, large. Light head, with large particulates. Aroma does not carry a lot of alcohol. Sour fruit is prominent, along with toffee and brown sugar flavours. Very sour and sweet. Alcohol is slight compared to what I expected. First sip is overwhelming, but opens up very nicely.

Mar 28, 2009 [2005 Bottle] sent by Ygtbsm94, thanks Brad!! Pours a clear burnt caramel brown with ruby highlights and a medium tan head. Aroma is tart apple skins, caramel, rum soaked raisins, alcohol, fruity yeasty notes, and a touch of sherry-like oxidation. Flavor is very full, but the mouthfeel is a little thin. Lots of tart apple skins, fruitiness of the yeast is much more present than on the nose, some caramel and brown sugar, a hint of alcohol. Finishes with the apple and brown sugar lingering. Very drinkable for a beer this big.

Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Quite cloudy dark brown colour. The flavour is very vinous and quite fruity. There is a distinct iron note to the flavour, that I find quite unpleasant. Takes a little getting used to. Luckily Urbain was so kind as to give me a bottle, so I will have the chance to rerate it some time.
