Oct 19, 2009 Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 3. Slightly hazy mahogany pour with a tiny off-white frothy head. Nutty, dry and herbal aroma, slightly burnt caramel malt. Tasted quite thin, like burnt table syrup and dried straw. Thin, slick and still on the palate, once again a little carbonized in the finish - yet another in the "meh" category.

Jun 6, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Fruity vanilla and lightly caramelized cereals form a silky, lean Scotch Ale which strays from the usual sweet examples of the style.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the clear copper red.
-The nose is rather sober for a Scotch Ale. A few more caramel dextrins wouldn’t hurt.
-The body is elegant, but not as nourishing as my favorite examples of the style.
-The Frontenac malt signature is spicy and a little green in this one.
-Alcohol is well concealed.
-Whispering hop bitterness concludes each sip.
On tap at the Mondial de la Bière.
