Appearance is a caramel brown with amber hughes shining through.

Aroma is of fig, black cherries, and plum. Very complex.

Taste is sweet upfront, but the alcohol dries out the finish to make it rather well balanced.

The mouthfeel is smooth, slightly tannic, but very pleasent.

Overall, this is a great beer. Definitely worth seeking out when you are in Quebec.

341ml bottle poured into a goblet. ABV 11%.

A - Poured a dark cola like brown with a half cm tan head. Head reduced to a long lasting ring with some surface bubbles and a bit of lacing.

S - Molasses, roasted malts, spices, dark fruits. Reminds me of raisin gingersnap cookies. As it warms up I can almost smell some pumpkin.

T - Holy this is sweet. Brown sugar, molasses, caramel, burnt sugar, dried fruit, some hops are just noticeable in the finish and just a hint of booze. The alcohol is getting masked by all that sweetness.

M - Medium carbonation, medium-heavy body, syrupy. sticky, a hint of heat in the finish.

O - Good stuff. Be warned, this one is quite sweet.

341mL bottle from J.A. Moisan Epicier (Quebec City). 4.19. The bottling date strip along the side was not notched. Served in a Red Brick snifter.

Pours ruddy chestnut hued brown with a half finger of cream head that leaves small trails of lace.

Smells of sweet sugared dates, candied raisins, cloves and toffee.

Taste follows the nose. Very rich and quite sweet. Tons of candied dark fruits, copious clove, burnt caramel, faint toffee and a kick of booze.

Medium full feel with a strong, tight carbonated fizz. Long clove and sweet raisin jam aftertaste.

A bit of a departure from what I'm used to in a quad. The cloves play nicely off of the sweet dark fruit but it's missing something to keep things in balance.

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of sweet candi sugar with fruity ester and some candy-like notes with deep fruit cake malt notes. Taste is a good balanced mix between some fruity ester with loads of candy ester and some solid fruit cake malt notes with an unfortunate overly sweet finish. Body is average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. This is a very good beer with nice level of complexity but unfortunately it lacks some attenuation and is too sweet for its own good.
