Dégustée en fût sur place. De couleur noire et opaque. Nez de chocolat au lait (notes lactiques), moyen de malt rôti et de vanille française, léger de café avec des notes de chocolat noir. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Goût de chocolat au lait (très légèrement lactique) avec un goût de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel s’enchaîne rapidement un goût de malt rôti, un moyen goût de chocolat noir et des notes de caramel puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût de café et des notes de houblon herbeux. Post-goût long, moyen-léger amer de rôti, léger de chocolat et de café. (1er décembre 2011)

Clearish golden coloured body with a thinnish, one centimetre tall white head with some orange highlights. Aroma of pungent, very strong ginger notes with a bit of malt and some rice and sugars and that’s about it - but the ginger really stands out. Light-bodied; Sharp ginger flavour which draws out some maltiness and a bit of sweetness and a spicey heat. Aftertaste shows much more ginger than I’d expect, with a hint of rice and a bit of sweetness on the tail end. Overall, not such a great beer - the ginger is overdone and showing way too much of that and not enough of anything else. I sampled this 341 mL bottle purchased from Marche des Saveurs in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$1.99 on 04-December-2010 sampled at home in Washington almost two years later on 19-November-2012.

Purchased a 6-pack of this in a Hull, QC convenient store. Wow... a darker light beer at 4% ABV. Pours a clean copper colour with ruby highlights. The head is small (not sure if because air got in bottle, as it did not pop like a normal brew). Not much lace, nor retention. Still, pretty good looking for a light brew. Mild nose of caramel and roasted malts. Gets much better (stronger) as it breathes, with even coffee and molasses notes. Wet mouthfeel with a little watery roasted malt taste and hints of nuts. So, overall pretty mild, but great for this style of lightness.

Bouteille 341ml. Couleur noire opaque, mousse moka assez dense. Arôme de vanille très présente un peu artificielle, café, Bailey’s. Goût de vanille, avec un arrière-goût artificiel, café. Carbonation moyenne avec de fine bulle. Pourrait être plus riche pour une stout.

A hazed dark reddish brown ale with a thin brown head. In aroma, a sweet burned caramel malt with light plum notes, and a bit of musty notes. In mouth, a nice smooth treacle malt with light vanilla and honey notes, light molasses, a bit herbal, not bad.

Has a really strong smell - reminds me of Southern Tier’s creme broule stout in the aroma at least, without the high alcohol. There’s a lot of desert here, vanilla and coffee present almost in an overdose of aroma. Pours cola black with a little head, not much lacing. Taste has a little bitterness but the palate is pretty weak, aftertaste nearly non-existent. Bottle from Peluso.
