3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Le liquide est brun rougeâtre. Bonne rétention de la mousse foncée. Beaucoup de traces collées aux parois du verre. Le nez est fortement caramélisé (pointes de mélasse et presque chocolaté) avec une présence fruitée assez forte (raisin cuit). Quelques effluves épicés réussissent aussi à s’échapper du liquide épais. Le goût est similaire avec la présence de grains maltées qui rappellent le whisky et le vieillissement en fût de chêne. Bonne présence de l’alcool qui côtoie des morceaux de toffee et des saveurs fines de vanille. En bouche, le liquide a une texture liquoreuse et très enveloppante. La finale se fait principalement sur des notes maltées douces.

Nice dark brew with sweet flavor and smell. Easy to drink and alcohol that sneaks up on you
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This Scotch Ale poured a dark colour like a porter and had red highlights. The nice brown head left some nice lace. Aromas were smoky and of butterscotch. The taste was a mix of caramel, molasses and slight bitterness. At 8% ABV, it has an amazing drinkability. Tastes like a caramel porter. Deliciously brewed !

Pours dark brown with nice big head. Very sweet. Syrup-y, sugary sweet. I get toffee and pine out of this one. Good kick of alcohol there too. Interesting flavours, but the sweetness is far too cloying for my taste.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark brown with an off white head with good retention. Aroma is pretty bland, mostly malt. Taste is a great balance of chocolate, sweet caramel and malt. Very nice scotch ale and easily beat my expectations.
