Sep 12, 2009 Oktoberfest de Mascouche, on tap, aged 15 months (if my memory’s all OK). Very good in the style indeed, but it seemed slightly different, with its own fruity and cerealish personnality. Delicate caramel sweetness and a great texture, creamy or somewhat velvety. The hops are balancing it all but ain’t dominating. Even if I was slightly positively prejudiced towards this scotch ale, I am not disapointed nor overwhelmed... Just happy he was there in Mascouche!

Sep 9, 2009 Sample at Fête bière et saveurs. Pours deep amber with small head. Nose is big caramel, very scotchy. Taste is caramel, fruits and hints of alcohol. Quite well balanced. A fine scotch ale. Very sweet. I’m not a scotch ale guy.

May 16, 2009 2 ages sampled at brewpub, May 10 2009.: 1.5 year. A dark brown ale with a thin off white head. A pleasant caramel and porto aroma, light corky notes and rising bread. In mouth, a deep caramel, with wooden notes, plums, treacle, molassses and licorice. A bit intense. Very nice. 8-3-8-4-15
2.3 years: A more reddish hue with a thin off white head. A more pronounced plum and dark fruits in aroma, with nice maderization. Flavours more fused than in younger version, mixing the molasses, licorice and carmale into a nice assembly, porto-like. Awonderful experience. 9-4-8-4-16

Mar 14, 2009 en fût sur place, 3 brassins vieillis 2 ans 11 mois, 2 ans 1 mois et 1 an 2 mois. bière brune très agréable en bouche et qui a la capacité de vieillir très bien comme le démontre ces 3 bières. plus elle vieillit plus le caramel tend à partir et elle s’assèche. elle devient plus complexe faisant place à de l’anis, des prunes très agréable un succès.

Jan 5, 2009 En fût sur place (brassin 2006). De couleur rubis assez foncée et presque opaque. Nez fruité (raisins, notes de petits fruits), malté de caramel toffee aux petites notes rôties, terreuses et fumées, léger de chocolat avec des notes dalcool, de noix et de houblon herbeux. Ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas et une texture riche et sirupeuse. Goût fruité (raisins aux petites notes vineuses, léger de petits fruits, faibles notes de prunes et de dates) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee sucré légèrement rôti (faibles notes brûlées), aux notes terreuses et fumées ainsi que de petites traces de chocolat. Parallèlement, on retrouve un léger goût dalcool réchauffant jusquen finale où on y dénote également la présence dun léger goût de houblon herbeux avec des notes de noix. Post-goût moyen-long, moyen-léger amer de rôti, dalcool doux avec des notes de houblon herbeux ainsi qu un goût fruité (moût de raisins).(automne 2007)

2007: Sweet but refreshing. Strawberry flavor, tamari sauce aroma.
2006: Very spicy (ginger), Nuts, bread, burnt sugar, some bitterness barley sugar in the end.

All three where very good but I must say that the 2007 is my favorite
