Les Trois Mousquetaires G.C. Baltic Porter

Brewed by Les Trois Mousquetaires
Style: Baltic Porter
Brossard, Canada

(Dégusté avec french tickler) Biere noire, collet mince brumeux. Odeur pas trés sortant, chocolat, grain de café et une petite senteur sucré. Biere tres crémeuse avec un gout chocolaté et sucré. Vraiment agréable en bouche. Vive le bistro L’autre oeil!!

Black in color with a big thick tan head. Smells of licorice, a lot of coffee. Taste is of roastiness, alcohol, and licorice. Nice beer.

750 mL bottle received via trade with Glouglouburp. Pours opaque with an average, fizzy, light brown head, lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (dark chocolate, coffee, toast), light hops (grass), average yeast (leather) with notes of charcoal, prunes, and dates. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

鼮ml bottle) Pours a black body with dark brown edges and a small beige head. Aroma of roastiness, chocolate, black currants, and prunes. Flavor of roasted (somewhat charred) malt, light black licorice, chocolate, and dark fruit.

Blown away that I got to try this one, damn. Poured a deep, almost completely black color, the slightest gleaning of brown peeks through the edges. The aroma is a melange of roasted coffee, dried plums and figs, cocoa and even a slight wisp of smoke. The flavor is equally as impressive, with an additional acidic note that is the perfect foil to this beer. Simply one of the best Baltic porters I havetasted yet.

Deep black in colour with a nice tan-coloured head. Aroma is malt, chocolate and coffee with a tinge of fruitiness. Nice body with a roasted coffee flavour that is followed by a bit of sugar. Alcohol is quite well hidden, but adds a tiny touch of warmth. Excellent brew.

Bière enivrante, pesante, qui réchauffe par une froide soirée d’hiver. Notes de chocolat sucré, bonne rondeur maltée. Superbe bière qui n’a pas grand chose à envier aux grosses bières noires de la baltique... Elle serait tout simplement sublime avec une maturation de quelques mois en fûts de chêne. Un jour, peut-être...

Roasted malt flavor lets itself be known right away in the aroma. Pours a nice coffee color with a thick tan head tha disappears quickly. The first few sips of this beer were excellent. The roasted maltt and chocolate came to the front and some more subtle almost berry characteristics were at the back, but after half a glass it was all roasted malt and got a little bitter. Maybe it’s just the style of beer. Good stuff though.
