DumDuminator

Bottle, at TFODRBSG 2012. An unclear, brown beer with a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is sweetish, lightly roasted and with some caramel. Hints of banana too. A bit weak on the palate, medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated. Caramel, some roasted notes, some banana and a light coffee touch. A quite tasteful one, but to be frank, and a little bit rude, the best part of the beer is the label. 120818

Was quite surprised to find this one in a 750ml brown bottle at my local Métro store. There was a few cases of these, with 12 bottles in each one of them. Must be the first bottling for BDT. Bottling date on back label is 1/04/11 #1458. Pours a cloudy mohagany-caramel colour with creamy beige head, good retention and nice lace. Active tiny-bubble carbonation. Aromas of sugars, caramel, toffee, alcohol, bread, fruits (raisins, dates) and hints of bananas. Creamy, silky smooth and a bit oily mouthfeel. The alcohol is definitely not felt in the taste though. The hop is present instead. Grassy, lightly sweet with some tarty banana finish. Pretty good overall for the style. Just not my style (and I am surprise they chose this style as one of there first brew in a bottle). They have balls, I guess.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy deep amber color ale with a nice foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of deep brown sugar malt with light fruity ester. Taste is sweeter then expected with a very solid caramel malt backbone with limited ester notes (less then I was expecting) and loads of residual brown sugar notes. Body is quite full with limited filtration and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Sweeter then expected with too much residual sugar – enjoyable nonetheless but more complexity from the yeast profile would have improve this one.
