Can from the lcbo. Dark brown pour with a medium beige head. Aroma is sweet, malty brown sugar, burnt caramel, and sweet Cereals. Mouth feel is full and a soft carb finish is a touch boozy, very sweet malts, burnt sugars and caramel. Not great.

This wee heavy poured a deep amber colour with a creamy, off-white head. Nice lacing. Scents include a little ripe fruit, caramel, tobacco and a little black cherry. First swig was thinner than expected it tasty none the less. Flavours of caramel, black cherries and tobacco. Finish is woody.

Dark brown with orange highlights and a medium sized foamy tan head. Swett and toasty with caramel, tobacco, vegetal malt, wood and faint astringency. Very long finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Alcohol and butterscotch with a touch of cherries are expressed in a low-power olfactory. The liquid is coppery reddish, noticeably clear with a lot of bubbles escaping from it. The foam is thick, well-formed and persistent. The flavors of caramel range in a rather strong alcohol feel for its advertised degree. Accents of cherries, prunes and earthy hops. The body is lighter than average, which has the effect of giving a waterier feel and diluting the malted flavors of caramel. The effervescence is also more intense than usual for this style. Beautiful technical qualities, good taste, but a slight lack of roundness, a slightly lively effervescence and a rather linear complexity. Alcool et butterscotch agrémenté d’une touche de cerises s’expriment dans un olfactif de faible puissance. Le liquide est cuivré rougeâtre, très limpide avec quantité de bulles qui s’en échappent. La mousse est épaisse, bien formée et persistante. Les saveurs de caramel s’étendent dans un alcool plutôt fort pour son degré annoncé. Accents de cerises, de pruneaux et de houblons terreux. Le corps est plus léger que la moyenne, ce qui a pour effet de donner une sensation plus aqueuse et de diluer les saveurs maltées de caramel. L’effervescence est également plus relevée qu’à l’habitude pour ce style. O: 8.583 V: 4.717 G: 7.815 B: 3.242 O: 14.25 T: 38.607
