This was an excellent beer!!! A scotch ale with a touch of cherry. The aroma was quite malty, with some nice caramela, and a touch of cherry in the end. The flavour was a nice sweet, but not over powering caramel malt, with a wicked cherry finish. The cherry lingers, and is just a perfect ending.

Bière #15 au Mondial 08 (29/5/08), en fut. Rousse cuivrée, petit collet. Arome légèrement fumé, malte caramelisé et légèrement fruité. Goût de scotch boisé, noisette malté avec une petite touche de cerise. Très délicieux!

Verre de 6 oz, en fût au Pub Brouhaha. Arômes de cerises noires et de caramel. Magnifique robe rubis, légère mousse. Très sucrée en bouche, on retrouve les cerises noires en avant-plan, le tout enrobé de caramel. Le mariage d’une scotch ale avec les fruits est intéressant. L’alcool donne un petit côté sirupeux à la bière, mais est globalement bien dissimulé. Très bon.

Bière à 9%, de style scotch ale. De couleur brun-rubis foncé. Saveur de caramel et de fruit très bien équilibré. Note de cassis et de cerise. Le fort taux d’alcool ne parraît aucunement. Dégusté au Mondial de la bière à Montréal. Une autre belle découverte de cette brasserie.

<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> A sumptuous cherry fruitiness amorously attaches itself to the caramel maltiness of this huggable and unique dessert nectar. A polite tartness perfectly segues this harmonious union of juicy fruit and chewy malt, creating a comforting realm between Fruit Beer and Scotch Ale.<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A ring of foam circles the blood red gown.<br /> -I admit that, before tasting it, the prospect of marrying cherries to a Scotch Ale did not enchant me much; boy, was I proven wrong!<br /> -Dessert-like spiciness &#40;cloves, nutmeg&#41; stems from the cherries and their malty counterpart.<br /> -The level of residual sugars makes for a succulent body, aided by a comfortable carbonation.<br /> -Alcohol is really not a bother in the flavor profile.<br /> -This wonderful creation has more personality than their regular Claymore and may even reach a wider audience. What a novel idea!<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at Rendez-Vous Rosemont, Montréal.</b>
