On tap at their YUL bar. Pours hazy beige with a foamy beige head. Some caramel and candied berries on the nose. Flavour has dry caramel, dried berries, some crusts, some of that harsh fermented wheat character. Overall nothing too exceptional, but decent enough.

Dark ruby, light brown pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is very malty, and quite sweet. Lots of bread, and sweet grains. Caramels and slight nuttiness round it out. The finish is very low on the bitterness scale, with just boat loads of sweet, bread malts. Sweetness approaches cloying at the end.

On tap at Archibald - Montreal Airport, pours a hazy dark burgundy with almost no head. Aroma brings out bready caramel malt and light toffee. Flavour follows accordingly, with caramel malt and bready notes. Very malty, but not overly deep. Solid.

A little on the foul end like you hit the baseball backwards. Pours amber without much head ot lacing. Sourish with some caramel. Tastes like light infection. A hint of coffee. Tap at airport location.

Draft: Poured a clear amber color Bock. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt with light cereal notes. Taste is also a mix of cereal and caramelized malt with quite a bit of residual sugar notes. Body is about average with OK carbonation. More sweet then I was expecting but not too bad overall.

Middling soft caramel aroma and a no head clear brown body thing going on. Sweet grain and honey flavour. Medium finish. I didn’t find much to like about this one.
