Bouteille 355ml. De couleur brune et quasi-opaque. Nez intense de caramel toffee, légèrement fruité (raisin, mûres, cerises noires) et de rôti ainsi que des traces de chocolat et de fumée de bois. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement liquoreuse. Moyen goût fruité (prunes, notes petits fruits foncés confits) avec des notes de noix grillées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel toffee avec des notes de mélasse sucrée ainsi que des traces de chocolat puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume d’alcool avec de petites notes de fumée de bois. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer d’alcool avec un léger goût de fruits ainsi qu’un léger résiduel de malt sucré.

Very nice sipping beer.

This was famous in some western Canadian liquor stores as the highest alcohol beer regularily available, and for cheap! Dark body, little head, lots of barley notes, but I don’t think anyone was paying much attention.

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 !

Draught at Cockney Pub. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Brown-amber colour. Moderate malty and hoppy slightly sour aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Caramellic and light "oyster" notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate. A bit disapointing.
