Dégustée le 2018-06-05. .

Bottle from our new local IGA. Real dark amber colour, going on copper. Beige head that dissipate rather quickly, but a creamy collar remains. Mild fruity malt aromas with notes of apples, sugars, spices and hints of molasses. The taste is weak, with some apples notes again, but not much else. Weird that flavours are not more potent with the higher alcohol content?! Maybe the oat listed in the ingredients smooth out too much the rest. Traces of raisins and chocolate malts in the finish. Gets a little better with time. Not bad overall. Smells nicely.

A dark brown ale with a thick frothy mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light vanilla, pleasant. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light vanilla, butterscotch, light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. On tap at brewery.
