Bu sur place en fut ྫྷ oz), le 23 août 2009. Brune rubie foncée, pas de collet. Arome de petits fruits rouges mure, des notes d’orge malté sucré. Goût de petits fruits aux testures boisés, saveur de scotch légé agréable, zéro présance d’alcool. À mon avis, la version LR est la plus douce des trois, mais un plaisir à boire!

500 ml brown bottle bought @ Grand Duc : Dark brown an opaque, figs, raisin, caramel, honey, almost no hop presence, sweet and easy to drink even with the high abv.

En comparaison aux MacKroken de Bièropholie et du Bilboquet, le miel de fleur sauvage est moins présent et il y a une présence accrue de grains crus.

A clear brown ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, nice caramel malt, with vinous notes, and some chalky points. In mouth, a nice sweet candy sugar, dried cherries, honey and light roasted notes. Another good beer from Mig. On tap at brewpub, Jan. 3 2009.

En fût. Verre de dégustation directement à la brasserie. Arôme: Odeur de caramel fruité et de miel floral. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée rougeâtre. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel fruité et de miel. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de sucre d’orge en arrière goût. (Rating #2077)

My Bottom Line :
This luxuriously smooth, portly Scotch Ale is the stage for floral honey and toffee sweetness, black currant fruitiness and distant spiciness, a performance which understandably woos all lovers of classy dessert sippers.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A ring of foam settles around the dark, ruby-tinged dark brown.
-The mouthfeel is very round - though never too much so - and very friendly.
-Alcohol is quite secretive in the flavour profile, which is appreciated.
-You could say the flavour profile is a tad unidirectional, but then again who cares when this is so flavourful and well-structured.

On tap at the brewpub.

The pour reveals a dark brown color with a thin tan head. Superb aroma of wild flowers honey with caramel and rich, earthy malt. Amazing flavor of earthy, luscious malt, caramel and wild flowers honey. The body is light to medium with a syrupy texture and moderate carbonation. Miguel does it again, Mac Kroken Flower is back and still awesome!
