Diacetyl butterscotch aroma with some UK hops and caramel. Almost clear dark bronze under a thin, white cover. Strong diacetyl butter flavour with caramel and a bold bitterness ending with toffee. Light to medium body, moderately bitter finish that is buttery.

Pours a reddish brown with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet malt, small hop aroma and a slight spice. Taste is a tangy mixture of malt and hop. Quite nice but not as awesome as some of their other beers.

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2011 En fût. Belle couleur brune opaque. Nez de caramel et de houblon. Elle est présente en bouche sans être accaparente. Fin goût de caramel, les herbes fraîches se mélangent peu après. Finale un peu amère mais très facile à boire.

On tap at the brewpub. Seemed pretty interesting. Taped a clear dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is quite fruity, lots of dark fruits and red grapes with no hint of much else. Flavour hits right away with some serious sweet esters. Followed by very minor rye dryness and minor hop bitterness in the finish. Expected more hops considering it’s dry-hopped, but what’s there offers some good balance. Also could do with more straight up rye flavour, but this isn’t a crippling fault. Over-all a nice experiment which ended up tasty if not a bit confusing as to what it wants to be.
