3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
From puzzl. Thanks Andy. From a 341 ml bottle this poured a dark reddish brown with a tan head with good thick lacing. Nose is of caramel malts and floral and pine hops. Medium mouthfeel.with a flavor of nuts and berries, and a long lingering slightly bitter mouthfeel. My brother did not like this but I thought it was fine.

A reddish brown ale with a thick off white head. Aroma is very pleasant, lots of floral hops, marmelade, light black pepper. In mouth, a nutty malt with good floral hops, grapefruit. Medium bodied. A very nice ale! Bought at Jovi, 2.45$.

Bouteille de 341ml, acheté à la Fromagerie d’Atwater, le 18/9/08. Brune noisette, moyen collet. Arome d’orge malté avec des notes de noisettes et de petis fruits. Goût un peu amère, soupson de petits fruits sûrettes, pas très malté. C’est une bonne brune pour DDC, pas rien de spécial, mais c’est pas mal mieux ce que la Barberie fait pour le festival de Chambly!

Une biere ambré caramel avec un tres bon collet moyennement collant. Odeur d’épices, épinette, pommes, sucre brun, celerie. A l’odeur on a l’impression quel va etre crémeuse. Gout de blé, noix, bananes et sucre. L’odeur décrivait réelement le gout crémeux.

Bouteille brune de 341 ml. Arômes citronnés de houblon et de malt caramel. Robe brune claire, peu de mousse. Moyennement ronde en bouche, le malt caramélisé présente des notes de noix et de boisé. Le houblon est très présent et mène à une finale plutôt amère (houblon résineux et citronné). Une Brown Ale à l’américaine (ou une Indian Brown Ale ?).

On tap at Festival Bières et Saveurs, the special festival brew. I didn’t realize till later that it was DDC. Excellently hopped with British hoips, amarillo? A brown colour but a real style bender. Fresh lace, just great hops and drinkability. A much above average brew, and As a brown its terrific.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2008 <i>My Bottom Line:</i>
Subtle citrusy hops seep into generous almond and caramel sweetness in this wholesome and chewy hopped-up Brown Ale.
<i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i>
-A film of foam tops the clear copper-brown.
-The aroma is definitely not as appealing as the flavor profile.
-The round body remains very drinkable throughout.
-Roasted and toasted malts envelop the earthy hops in the finish and team up for an eloquent bitterness.
-This is very drinkable despite its upfront flavors.
-The nutty component bends into hazelnut sweetness as well.
<b>On tap at Festival Bières et Saveurs and from the bottle.</b>
