1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
UPDATED: APR 11, 2009 I’m getting pretty good... This beer has a 1,5 style percentile. After I had it, I thought it was the worst Scotch Ale I ever had. Watery, unbelievably boring, sweetness is replaced by a slight displeasing sourness, no complexity whatsoever, and barely hoppy. I thought it was like 4 % ABV... Still waiting to taste a good brew from these guys and I am thinking about avoiding that place, although the staff has always been able to serve me in french, which I always appreciate in the Anglo parts of Montreal and is enough to have me go back there again (since their beers are a lot better than what they serve inside the Bell Center (Go Habs Go!).

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small tan head. Aroma is light butterish and dry roasted malty, light caramelish. Malty, roasted and slight breadish malty. Ends dry, roasted and somewhat bitter.

1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Raw yeasty and sour, really found this and some other brews to be either under-built or else rushed from the maturation.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at the brewpub. Nice clear dark brown colour. Small light brown head. The flavour is a little malty, slightly tart, but not a problem. Subtly buttery finish. Does not taste as sweet and strong as expected.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 2. Deep clear mahogany pour with an average creamy beige head. Nutty sweet roast caramel aroma, lightly floral, clean, if cloying. The taste is a bit weedy and dry, with some cheap cocoa powder adding to the off-putting bitterness, although I DID say it smelled too sweet ... Quite a solid body, no carbonation though, and the bitterness quickly overpowers the sweet malt and lingers too long. Smells okay, but not too great, no.
