3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAY 11, 2012 500 ml bottle from Thorpe429- thanks again, Mike! Pours a deep, not quite opaque brown with some red highlights around the sides and a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts, brown sugar, dark and dried fruits, wood, peat, and tobacco. Flavor of caramel malts, toffee, brown sugar, molasses, peat, dried fruits, and a lingering tobacco note. Medium-full bodied, with moderate carbonation and a sweet, malty mouthfeel that gives way to that lingering toasty tobacco note. Good stuff. Way underrated.

Bready, fruity, malty, and quite a bit of caramel. Watery, low carb, and quite a bit of bitter cocoa. Medium bitterness, dry finish.

(50 cl) Un petit col de mousse flotte sur un liquide brun. Au nez, les malts caramélisés sont peu expressifs tandis que les parfums fruités s’accrochent avec une certaine gêne. Des effluves d’herbes mouillées finissent par agacer les narines. Au goût, la douceur du caramel s’impose difficilement, l’alcool se répand avec subtilité, les fruits immobiles et les traces chocolatées comme une bonne surprise. En bouche, le liquide est plutôt mince pour le style. Le pétillement est normal et la texture crémeuse. La finale est maltée, plutôt douce et subitement chaude.

500 mL bottle. Dark, clear, cola brown with a medium beige head. Looks good! Aroma, not so much. It’s got that vegetal thing going on that you find in several of the lesser Quebec micros. From the flavour, it would be hard to tell that this is supposed to be a Scotch Ale. Nothing off, really. It’s just sweet caramel and a touch of booze.

Bière trouble couleur de mélasse coiffée d’un fin col crème. Des arômes boisés de fruits confits, d’alcool et de cuir... Moyennement amère avec un peu de sucre résiduel. En bouche, on remarque la rondeur et l’effervescence persistante. Elle offre une fin éthérée, sucrée et aromatique.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bière de type Scotish ale de 9% d’alcool, très légère, peu houblonné..plutôt malté.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep bronze with a hew reddish highlights. The nose and taste consist of plenty of dark fruits and some sweet malt. The taste is a little bit too sweet at times, but otherwise this is very nice. Very smooth. Pretty full body; bready, almost chewy. Good drinkability.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep brown color ale with a small off-white foamy head with light retention and no lacing. Aroma consists of sugary caramel with solid cereal backbone. Taste is also a mix of sugary caramel malt with loads of cereal in the malt bill. Some light alcohol was perceptible though not too the point of being gross. Balanced could be improve with too much sugar upfront. Body was quiet full with average carbonation.
