reebtogi (3259) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 17, 2013
330ml bottle pours a brownish amber color with a 2 finger off-white head that settles down and leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is kind of funky with some dark fruits and caramel. Taste is a malty sweetness with a herbal hop bitterness that is a little unpleasant. The appearance is definitely the best quality of this brew. Just not enjoyable.

mathieuc (275) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 14, 2013
Pours a maple surup brown with a thin off-white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma is spicy and malty and feels nice overall but a bit artificial at times. Taste is medium bitter with not much bitterness. Mouthfeel is really light and far from hearty. Flavors are spicy and not so malty (fuck glucose syrup!) with a watery feeling overall. Drinkable but not that enjoyable...

Bottle. Exp. 05-2013. Head: beige, medium, creamy and frothy, avg. retention. Colour: deep red-brown, clear. Aroma: pretty weak, dried fruit, bit of caramel, a tiny bit of barnyard. Taste: dried fruit, roast with a sweet-and-acidic medicine-like finish. Feels like it has some artificial flavourings.

Bière-Luc (290) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 7, 2013
Bière brune-cuivrée, limpide, avec un mince film de mousse. Nez très léger de gâteau, de malt grillé et de caramel. Je sens aussi quelques épices que je n’arrive pas à identifier (peut-être un peu d’anis?). En bouche, il y a des saveurs un peu «bonbon» que j’avais aussi goûté dans la Grimbergen blonde. Soit ça vient du mélange d’épice, soit ce sont les esters des levures qui s’expriment. La bière est relativement mince, mais ça cadre bien avec les saveurs qui s’imposent avec retenue. C’est intéressant, c’est bon... mais je préfère la gamme des Leffe (Blonde et Brune) qui sont les compétiteurs directs sur le marché québécois.

Minderbinder (816) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 6, 2013
Bottle 330ml. Pours deep amber/reddish with high sparkling beige head. Good lacing. Aroma is of malt, yeast, acidity/mineral stuff. Not awesome at all. Some fruits. Taste is of malt, sugar, yeast, minerals, fruits. Sligth bitterness. Palate: Ligth-medium body. Somewhat sticky. Overall: Not that bad, but... The glucose syrup is pretty obvious. Not a high quality beer.

SlovakSniper (2094) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 5, 2013
Une bière effectivement ambrée. Une mousse très présentable qui s’affaisse assez rapidement. Un nez plus ou moins efficace en notes caramélisées et en malts grillés. Je dirais aussi qu’il y a des parfums métalliques dans mon verre. Au goût, véritablement, des choses incertaines et grillées sur des affaires pauvrement houblonnées. En bouche, un corps plutôt faible mais huileux qui est soumis à des bulles très piquantes. Une finale toastée et oubliable.

viktorvee (97) - Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 4, 2013
Pours a deep red brown, modest carbonation. Lots of toffee and dark sugar on the nose, deeper tinge of alcohol. Maybe too sweet? Some raison and biscuit but the sweetness does dominate.

PriorL (241) - BELGIUM - MAY 3, 2013
33cl bottle. Expiration date: 25-10-12. (Expired on date of drinking). Appearance: caramel brown beer, light brown head. Nose: caramel, malts, fruits, port, alcohol. Taste: oxidated, malts, caramel, quite watery already, some port. Didn’t age all that well in my opinion.
