Gainsbourg version. Pours brown with a light head and good lacing. Notes of caramel, dark fruit. Tastes are light sweet with a little bitter. Very drinkable.

Pours a dark copper colour with a thick frothy beige head. Retention is great and lacing covers the glass. Starts off with a fresh coffee scent and added is butterscotch and some light fruits (dates, plums, apples). Slick mouthfeel with a medium-light body. Taste of roasted malts, giving the coffee notes, with mild caramel and hints of hops in the short finish. Not sure what style this beer "really" is, but I kind of like it.

A nice amber ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, Nutella, nice. In mouth, a nice nutty malt with grassy British hops, sweet nut spread. On tap at Hivern’ale, Jan 25 2012.

A dark amber ale with a thin light moka head. Light caramel and butterscotch aroma, light nuttiness. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light nutty notes, nondescript, a bit buttery. Medium bodied. On tap at St-Bock, Sept. 13 2008.

Nice but not so Scottish. Very nice foam and acloholic touch. VEry cloudy and intereating features.

Bottle 341ml. Pours deep red/burgundy with low beige head. Aroma is of caramel, butterscotch, malt. Taste is of roasted malt (acid), caramel. Unpleasant acid aftertaste. Palate: Somewhat thin for a scotch ale. Overall: Boderline. On the plus side, it is more drinkable tahn the usual Scotch Ale. Less than average balance. Not very good.

Bouteille 341ml. Couleur ambrée foncée, mousse blanche. Arôme de malt, de caramel. Goût de caramel, un peu épicé et de malt. Carbonation moyenne.

On tap at the brewpub. Licorice in the aroma, brown coloured body with a lace sheet down the glass. Off- flavours. Sourish and tart edges instead of any smoke or peat. Limited drinkability.

Bottle 341 ml. Pours a nice dark red with copper reflect. Medium beige head. Aroma is mostly roasted malt, with subtle caramel. Taste is sweet (caramel and a touch of chocolate (?)) with a touch of roasted bread. Medium bodied, dry bitter finish. Seem a little out of the style. Bouteille 341 ml. Robe rouge foncé, reflets cuivrés. Collet beige moyen. Arome de malt rôti, avec de subtiles touches de caramel. Goût sucré (caramel et une touche de chocolat (?) accompagné d’un peu de pain rôti. Assez ronde en bouche. Finale sèche et amère. Dévie un peu du style.

Arome subtile de caramel et de malt légèrement torrifié. Robe brune foncée et collet beige. Goût de butterscotch et de pain rôti. Légère amertume à la toute fin. Pas une Scotch Ale traditionnelle, mais sans doute très efficace dans le style.

Bière rousse limpide ayant un beau col qui rétrécit en un faible bandeau. Des odeurs maltées, sucrées, caramélisées et poivrées stimulent les narines au passage. Un goût malté est perceptible à la première gorgée, laissant en passant, des résidus sucrés en bouche et une pointe d’avoine, de céréale et de grains en finale. (220112)
