Maudite
Cloudy dark mahogany body under a two-finger light tan head, that reduces slowly to a solid quarter-inch lid and lasts for half an hour, leaving substantial lacing. Pretty beer. Smell is lots of sweet dark fruits: raisins, dates, figs, dark cherries. Underneath is a solid malty-sour foundation, with a nice balance of floral hops. Hints of pepper, peach, and mint (!?). Mmmmm. Smells goood. Taste is a bit less intense than the smell, with every note there, but a bit more sour and a bit more hops. That mint taste is there, oddly enough. Reminded me a little bit of mint snuff: a little smokey tobacco flavor. Mouthfeel is good. Smoooth, round, full, nice light carbonation that fills everything out. Drinkability is fine for an 8% beer. Overall, really quite good. Definitely a good beer for the money.
