Draft - Caramel and some light Woody notes. Dark mahogany with a nice beige head. Sweet, whisky notes, Woody and a bit of boozy bitterness. Not bad for the style.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color with red shades, and creamy head. It has some caramel flavor, but the high octane brewing comes with some phenol notes, fusels; there is also a light note of diacetyl in the final; for the rest, it’s lightly sweet, full bodied, lean, with strong bitterness and an evident but not disturbing alcohol perception, light nuttiness in the final.
Unsatisfactory offer from this great brewery, maybe an old keg.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours an opaque burgundy with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malts that are somehow faded due to the higher hop content. Flavour is well-balanced, with notes of caramel, toffee, and resinous hops. Cohesive and wonderfully balanced - the hops take away what is often cloying sweetness in scotch ales. Excellent.

Dégustée en fût au Vices & Versa. De couleur brune foncée et voilée. Nez de malt rôti, de houblon résineux, herbeux et aux notes florales, moyen de caramel toffee, léger de fruits (raisins, léger de prunes) et d’alcool avec des traces de chocolat noir. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture aux notes sirupeuses. Goût moyennement amer de houblon floral aux notes résineuses et herbeuses avec un léger goût de malt sucré et rôti ainsi qu’avec des notes fruitées (raisins, notes de prunes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de caramel toffee sucré avec des notes de chocolat noir ainsi que quelques traces de biscuits puis en finale l’amertume de houblon développe un penchant plus herbeux et léger-moyen résineux tout en étant appuyé par un goût d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux, moyennement résineux et aux notes florales avec des notes de malt rôti. (6 février 2013)

On tap: Poured a dark burgundy color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with solid caramel backbone and some resin hoppy notes. Taste is dominated by quite a bit of residual candi sugar with a solid Belgian style caramel malt backbone and some resin and floral hoppy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I really enjoyed the beer but hard to say what style they were going for as it appears to be a mix between a wee heavy with some IPA notes and a Belgian strong ale finish.

A hazy dark amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a rather peppery hop fragrance, with biscuitty malt. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light yet oily hops, rather restrained, yet good. On tap at Fête Bières et Saveurs, Sept. 7 2009.
