Niagara Falls Olde Jack Strong Ale

[1956-20090119] 341mL bottle. Fruity yeast aroma has really fresh apple and strawberry fruit. Hazy, dark orange brown body with a quick foamy off-white head. More grainy fruity yeast in the flavour. Medium body is a little rough. Average.

bouteille, à l’époque où j’ai bu cette bière elle titrait 7,2% alc/vol. aujourd’hui cette bière fait 5,9% est-ce la même, l’étiquette est la même en tout cas. je l’avais considéré comme moyenne.

Bottle found in Taylortucky Michigan, who would have thunk it: Poured a coppery hue with a long lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of biscuity and bready malts, a bit cardboardy and oxidized, grassy hops, walnut and buttery. The flavor profile pretty much follows suit with a lot of mild sweet malt and a nutty background with just a hint of hops. Again, very much to the style of an olde ale but lacks the power and depth of the better examples. Still I found this quite surprisingly drinkable and perhaps the watery palate works here.

Dark ale. Good starting head. Well balanced. A little taste of molases. A very enjoyable brew.

Sometimes you have a beer, one of those beers you pick up for kicks to mark as a quick notch on your bedpost... but you just let it sit in the back of the fridge completely forgetting about it until one day you are in dire straits for something new, somthing to quench your appetite in a way never before experienced. This one is one of those beers, and perhaps having had it rest a bit has given it a robustly smoky and sweet flavour I never wouold have expected. Like burnt whiskey on top of honey. Whoa! It’s part of the moosehead? Who would have thunkit?

bottle. LCBO singles bin. pours a bright copper body with a short-lasting white head and sheets of lace. aroma is bready, nutty, and sweet fruity hops. flavour consists of sweet sticky grain and earthy toasted malt. not bad.

The logo sucked,quite amatuer, but the bottom line was the beer, its good, quite good. slightly sweeet, malty, damn good.

Pour is deep reddish brown with a smallish tan head...also floaties...maybe skunked...smell is diacetyl...and sweet alcohol...taste is just lifeless butterscotch...blech...
