Cask at Tap & Barrel, Olympic Village
Near black, with generous compact head. The aroma is mild, lightly sour. Lean body, soft, lowly carbonated; the flavor is very chocolatey, much better than ash-forward sister beers. Correct bitterness. Light lactose feeling, light residual sweetness.
On cask, very enjoyable!

Roast sour nose. Fairly dark, creamy brown head. Chocolaty notes on a honey malt base. Earthy, infected ? lightbodied, mellow moutfeel.

Draught, drank at Chambar in a container akin to a glass of Coke and way too cold but I am too thirsty to wait for the beer to warm up, in fact, I have to keep my hand on the glass to get its temperature up and my hand is freezing!, savoured on February 8 2007; eye: black, opaque, creamy beige head, no effervescence; nose: odour reminding me of Cheetos, slight roasting, a bit of caramel; mouth: rather faint taste profile, a hint of acidity, silky, creamy, really short finale with a taste reminding me of cheese, fizzy, medium body, a bit thin, the cheese feeling remains even as the beer warms up; overall: disappointing, all about the look but not much in terms of nose or mouth FRANÇAIS En fût, bue chez Chambar dans un contenant ressemblant à un verre à Coke et bien trop froide mais j’ai trop soif pour attendre qu’elle réchauffe, je suis obligé de garder une main sur le verre pour réchauffer la bière et ma main est en train de geler!, savourée le 8 février 2007; oeil : noire, opaque, mousse beige crémeuse, pas d’effervescence; nez : odeur me rappelant les Cheetos, très légère torréfaction, un peu de caramel; bouche : profil de saveurs plutôt faibles, petite pointe acide, soyeuse, crémeuse, finale très courte avec une pointe de saveur me rappelant un peu le fromage, pétillante, corps moyen, un peu mince, impression fromagère se maintient même lorsque la bière gagne en température; en résumé : décevant, tout en apparence mais pas grand-chose au nez ou en bouche

Dark amber brown colour. Slightly spicy, coffeeish, almondy aroma. Slight, thin body is toasty with a bit of coffee.
