Nose is a pleasant combination of malt and spice. The taste is a balanced presentation of caramel, malt and a hint of vanilla and dark berries. Not cloying with a nice smooth, reasonably rich body. It’s hard to find a good Scotch Ale -- this is a very reasonable effort by a brewery I have not sampled or seen before.

Bottle: Poured a nice deep copper color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some toffee notes is quite nice. Taste is a nice mix between some caramelized malt with some toffee notes with light clean finish with not too much residual sugar notes. Body is maybe a tad light for style with good carbonation. Well brewed and quite enjoyable – I particularly like the fact that the residual sugar notes were well balanced against the cereal notes.

Pours a hazy amber-red colour with a big frothy beige head that lasts a while leaving some good creamy lacing. Nutty aromas with the malts that give out dark fruits, butterscotch and mild spices. The taste is sweet, but well-balanced with notes of anise, roasted malts, the dark fruits and light alcohol. A pretty good darker beer that has a nice warming for the winter.

Sample at Atwater Market. Scotch ale is a nice example of the style with good maltiness.

Deuxième essai des produits de ce brasseur, qui me laisse aussi indifférent que le premier. Il y a un très bon fond de torréfaction mais ça manque de corps et d’équilibre. Update: Arrière-goût un peu acidulé; elle est sucrée et bien goûteuse.
