Oct 4, 2008 Poured a dark mahogany brown into a pint glass with a finger of head that dissipated into some decent lacing. Aroma was nutty and also had some nice roasted malt scent. Taste was malty and nutty with some chocolate and coffee overtones. A nice amount of hops (more than something like a Newcastle for comparison’s sake) finished an excellent, drinkable brew.

Oct 3, 2008 On tap. Pours a very dark brown with a frothy, light brown head. Aroma is a bit hoppy with some nuts and caramel. Taste is nutty and very malte with some banana esters and coffee. Not very full bodied at all, water like mouthfeel, light carbonation.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Rich brown, deep color with small head. Gorgeously clean robust malt nose. Solid carbonation, hits a great palate pocket. Impressively smooth and easy. No flash at all. Just a solid beer.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into pint glass. Clear brownish red with a finger of tan head that leaves some modest lacing. Aromas of burnt grain and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, with nutty dark malts. A touch of cocoa and an even smaller touch of hops. Mouthfeel is dry with a little roasty bitterness. Smooth but a little too roasty for my tastes. Good drinkability, solid beer.

Boutip (2333), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
Sep 22, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of huge caramel malt with some toffee notes. Taste is also a mix between some very rich caramel malt with some notes of toffee and no major discernable presence of hops. Body is full with some average carbonation. The best-by date was April 2008 but still very drinkable and more enjoyable then I had expected.
