4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Des notes profondes d’oranges et de caramel en arome, tres puissantes. En bouche c’est d’une richesse difficilement comparable. Une amertume bien affutee et des tanins subtils viennent enrober le tout, belle degustation.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of oak, slight Bourbon (I know it is not Bourbon-barrel aged), malt, slight piney hops, light molasses, and some florals. Poured deep amber/orange in color with a small, creamy, dense, tan head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout as a film on top of the beer, as well as around the edges. Flavor is light to medium sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of malt, oak, hops, slight alcohol, and burnt caramel. Medium to full body. Slick, viscous, then slightly dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Lightly sweet, medium bitter, malt, burnt caramel, hop finish is slightly dry. 9.6%ABV is a bit present in the flavor, but not hot or overbearing.
