UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 Deep brown pour with a tight white head. The nose is a little bit sweet and a touch of spice. A little not of clove and some plum/prune sweetness as well. A little bit of clove and nutmeg as well as some strng coriander flavour. . There’s a little bit of chewy sweetness and a bit of light molasses and spice. It’s very nice stuff.

Gusher! Pours a murky dark brown. Loads of yeast, spices, dark fruits. Quite a bit caramel malts and some lght grassy hops. Finishes quite bitter for the style and the sugars linger.

Brought from across the border, thought it was Canada’s attempt at a saison, but labeled Belgian Strong now understood after pouring it. Pours unclear dark amber chestnut brown with a huge creamy beige head. This baby gushed pretty quickly! The aroma is light sweet yeasty notes, but not full by any means. The flavor is sweet and yeasty on a smooth but full body, almost creamy but not quite.

Murky brown pour with a big tight tan head. aroma is fruity, malty, caramel, some toffee notes. Flavor is really sweet, a bit spicy, beer feels slightly underfermented. Sweet and sticky and fruity. Quebec beers all kind of have a similar twang about them. Not sure what that is. Not bad, but not great.

Bottle [750ml] shared with HogTownHarry, JoeMcPhee, jerc & mabel -- c/o HogTownHarry. Feb. 11. Pours a very dark brown with an average size fizzy tan head. Aroma is yeasty, lightly sugary and a bit fruity. Flavour of caramel malt, fruit, spices and herbs. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Bottle. Giant head, brown on brown. Lightly sour light earthy maly scent. Not a lot of funk. Caramel and roots and earth flavour. A bit sticky and muddy.

Bière brune opaque où flotte une mousse volumineuse et persistante se rétrécissant en une espèce d’écume. Des arômes de malt, de caramel ou encore de petits chocolat fourrés à la liqueur d’orange où se joint des notes épicées. Goût acidulé au tout début, mais ensuite, c’est assez varié et imprécis. Un peu de citron, de l’alcool, un sirop fruité. J’ai de la difficulté à saisir ce produit. Est-ce que c’est parce que je cherche une bière de type saison? Tel qu’annoncé? Peu importe. Trop cher.

Bière limpide, d’un cuivré profond et coiffée d’un immense col beige laissant une dense dentelle au verre. Des arômes bien fruités de pomme mûre avec des notes de caramel clair et même d’érable, sur une levure légèrement poussiéreuse. Légèrement amère, peu acide et assez sucrée. Elle est moyennement ronde, très effervescente et de texture crémeuse. Elle se termine sur de bons arômes et un peu de sucre.

Pours dark brown with a big fizzy light beige head. Aroma is farmy, big malt and sweet sugar. Taste is mostly malt, some maple syrup, belgian sugar and a small funk. Medium body and very fizzy, moderately high carbonation.

[bottle] Sour banana and brown sugar aroma with some caramel malt. Hazy chestnut appearance under a lacy brown cover. Sweet and sour flavour with brown sugar and a citrusy lemon finish. Sweet mocha comes in late. Medium to full body, medium carbonation, sweet finish.
