3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Jool (64) - - FEB 21, 2012
Bouteille 750mL. Brune-rousse peu de mousse. Nez franc mi-chemin entre l’eau d’erable et le sirop d’erable... donc du "reduit"? Meme sentiment en bouche, mais on ressent du malt en arriere-plan. Une cabane a sucre dans la bouche!

Très surprenant à quel point on a l’impression de boire l’eau d’érable, tout simplement. Unidimensionnel mais à l’aise dans son rôle.

Pour brown with a ruby edge beige head. Aroma maple, alcohol, brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch. Taste maple, warming, butterscotch, caramel, pine, mild hops. MF medium body light carb. Solid brew pretty tasty and I get the maple pretty good well constructed brew.

(Bouteille de 750 ml) Un anneau de mousse flotte sur un liquide brun rougeâtre. Le nez est malté, caramélisé, adouci par le sirop d’érable. Des effluves de bananes mûres chatouillent les narines. Des épices et des parfums subtils de raisins se font sentir. L’alcool est superbement caché : son souffle permet peut-être quelques notes florales. Les saveurs sont dominées par les malts et par l’érable qui se manifeste en tire et en bonbon. Des notes boisées sont perceptibles tandis que les épices s’affirment avec grande prudence. En bouche, le liquide a un corps moyen-fort avec une effervescence modérée et une texture à la limite sirupeuse. La finale se fait sur des notes douces de sirop d’érable et sur des notes boisées.

Bouteille de 750ml. 8,5% alcool. Bière brune-cola avec une structure mousseuse peu attrayante. Le nez par contre offre des arômes prononcés de muscade et de chocolat. La muscade domine. La bouche est aussi dans le registre épicé,muscade encore une fois. Le corps est passablement mince. La finale est quelque peu sucrée et épicée, le sirop d’érable apporte un petit quelque chose d’intéressant. 6/10
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Lanchester (143) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 19, 2011
In 750ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark copper with hints of ruby, capped by a thin ring of light beige head. Aroma is rich an complex, picking up notes of banana, candied fruits, and brown sugar, with some interesting cinnamon and bourbon-like undertones. They really managed to capture and preserve the earthy and woody character of the maple syrup, and it is accompanied very well by a unique blend of caramel malts and rich fruitiness. Carbonation is on the low side, and helps to lend a slightly syrupy feel on the palate. This is great stuff! I am sure this beer could benefit and further develop with a long cellaring time.

Draft: Poured a dark brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of candi sugar with light lingering sweetness and nice caramel malt. Taste is a nice mix between some caramelized Belgian malt with nice notes of lingering sweetness though maple syrup is not easily discernable. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting and quite good though not the best form this brewer.

on tap at broue ha ha. pours murky brown with decent head. dark malts and fruits, really sweet fruits. ther’s an off-maple that disturbs my tastebuds, tastes artificial too me. don’t fully have the belgian yeast aspect - yeast profile seems rather flat than complex. did not appreciate that much.

Bomber from May 2010. A healthy beige foam covers the hazy dark chesnut body. Estery fruit puree (banana, plums and pears) meets stew-like spiciness (cardamom, white pepper and cloves) in this idiosyncratic aroma. In mouth, the foamy, almost expanding carbonation feels authentic. Pretty characterful yeast, yet confidently malty through its cakey, pudding chocolate and maple kisses. The active and convincing carbonation manages to clean up the sweetness, leaving the finish toasty, earthy, spicy and agreeable. Good stuff, well integrated elements and no dominating ingredient. Thanks Marc.
