New plastic smell. Golden, medium head. Hot, but not too bad for 10+%. Rotten grapes is dominant. Actually has character.

950 mL bottle courtesy of Kinz. Thanks! Pours a clear golden color with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of not much... dusty corn. Maybe some grassiness. The taste is green apples, pear, grain, grassy hops. Boozy. Thin. It’s a malt liquor, I guess. Both less harsh and harsher than a typical malt liquor. Almost a liter at 10.1%, those French Canadian kids don’t mess around.

Originally rated February 2007. The last time I had a 10% malt liquor in a 40oz. bottle, I almost puked. Actually, what saved me... was my first drainpour. But tonight, I feel like taking on this one. Yukk, just the fumes makes me gargle, with it’s chemical stink. Pours a darker golden lager colour with lots of carbonation. Gotta hurry up with this review, as the drunkeness is taking over. Decent white head with sticky lacing, and a creamy thin layer tops the brew. No burn in the mouthfeel, but alcohol is present in the taste. Not really a dry beer, but aftertaste does disappear quite fast. As fast as this is getting me drunk. Sweet, sweet malt, kind of syrupy. Will not be drinking any beer after this one... for the rest of the night.

From one Québec barley wine to another, uh, shall we say, "barley" wine, of the cheaper variety. Completing my murderous tour of Labatt’s fine malt liquor selection, I found this charming 950ml can in an artisanal beer shop. I let it sit for an hour or two before opening, to allow it to warm up to room temperature, so I can properly taste and feel the true nuances of Labatt’s ten-point-one monster, and compare it to the softer varieties out there. If by chance you actually pour this into a glass, rather than just suck it down from the gigantic can or glass bottle, you’ll notice it has quite a large head and a decent bright gold colour - an almost average apperance for a beer! Aroma is rice wine, paint, and a soft hint of grain on the back end; but again, this is indeed a positive mark for this beer as it does not have a revolting smell. Taste is all rice adjuncts with a huge foul alcohol finish. Yicccch. This is bad hangover material for sure. For you anglophones out there, the "bleue" is pronounced "bleuh", which is what you essentially do after drinking a litre of this stuff.
