Extraordinary. The aroma is like warm milk infused with fine herbs. It is milky malty rich with the flavours of a sweet clean summer barn plus cherry and vanilla and malteser or malted milk. A lively white head over antiqued gold ale. Very rich and lovely. About $2.50 CND at the LCBO for 330 ml of 7.5% northern French goodness. Showing a bit of age from the cap marks on the bottle. Raters rate.

Over a year later, a 750 ml bottle from Finger Lake Beverages is popped. I also think the vanilla and barn add up to overwintered potato as well, rich sweet vegetative. Really good.

Another popped in January 2007 and I am again impressed with what a fantastic beer this is.
