Issue de la version originale, la Grande Réserve a été vieillie 4 mois en fût de bourbon avant d'être embouteillée. Ce conditionnement lui confère un caractère rond et boisé rappelant celui du vin.

Effluves de Bourbon caramélisées, toffee intense, accents toastés, esters de fruits rouges dont la cerise et doux accents de fruits noirs rappelant les pruneaux dans un olfactif puissant et complexe. Liquide brun aux reflets roux parfaitement limpide. Mouse d’épaisseur moyenne qui descend plutôt rapidement. Caramel dominant la bouche et bien enrobé de Bourbon. Esters de cerises et de fruits noirs. Boisé de barrique. Houblons doucement terreux et épicés. Le corps est rond et sensuel et l’alcool superbement bien dosé. Cette bière est un vrai caramel liquide avec un enrobage de Bourbon qui lui donne puissance et complexité. Un classique et grand cru du répertoire Québécois. O:8.77V:4.38 G:7.97 C:5.0 G:18.13 T:44.25

Tap. Dark brown color. Soft roast, toffee and caramel and vanilla in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with raisin and toffee, vanilla. Thundering bourbon. Sticky mouthfeel. Alcoholic but fairly nice.

On tap @Jabeerwocky in Warsaw. Coffee bean pour with caramel highlights and a nice ivory medium-low foam. Nose: cherries, light caramel, charming vanilla. Mouth is very soft although firmly sweet, vanilla milk shake, and beautiful and soft bourbon after taste. So balanced, alcohol is not disturbing. Great warmer.

Tasting at SF’s
Brown color. Nice aroma of malts and little smoke. The body is a bit thin, the alcohol is evident, the caramel body is nice, with elegant fruity notes, light sweetness.
Balanced, very good.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice complex mix of bourbon and smoke, with some caramel malts and wood. Flavour is a bit different, with lots of red fruits, light bourbon, a tiny hint of smoke, and light toffee. Quite sweet, with a lighty smoky and barrel-heavy character. Very good.
