HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Feb 21, 2008 <b>Draught</b>. <i>At Vices et Versa</i>. As "À La Fût Double Belge." Clear amber-gold with a small creamy white head. Dusty-dry aroma, almost musty, slightly acidic fruit/malt sweetness, some dry spice, alcohol ... reminded me of dried apples. The taste followed, dry, slightly tart, has more appleseed bitterness to it. Somewhat watery in the body, light, sugary, dry finish - overall it’s odd, but decent.
Lubiere (3408), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Jun 29, 2008 A golden orange ale with a thick off white head. Aroma of fresh mashed grain, rye and yeast. In mouth, a nice crisp malt with coriander, light bananas, green pepper notes, and light solvents/fusel alcohol. Light bodied but good.Tasted at Festival des Fromages de Warwick, June 14, 2008. Quevillon (1337), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Feb 22, 2008 Bu à Vices et Versa, en fut (12 oz) le 22/2/08. Miel dorée, petit collet avec de la dentelle. Arome de malte très caramelisé, quelque épices. Goût de malte, agrumes et de pêche un peu sucrés,pas trop fort en alcool. blankboy (2687), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 17, 2008 <i>Draught at Vices & Versa.</i> Listed as "À La Fût Double Belge". Pours a clear yellow-orange with an average size diminishing white head. Sweet aroma, a touch sugary along with some fruit and yeast. Flavour’s a little odd to me, not sure why? Must be the coriander. Also some bitterness, sweetness and alcohol. Average bodied. I didn’t much care for this. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 11, 2008 Draught (6 oz sample) at Vices et Versa, Montreal. Listed as "À La Fût Double Belge". Aroma of coriander, yeast, and some odd but pleasant fermenting fruit notes. Soft, medium mouthfeel. Flavour is sharp and sweet, with more coriander, and mellow herbal hops in the finish. Not great, but OK.
