This lager poured a golden yellow colour with a bright white head. To the nose there are scents of corn, gravy, sweet malts and lemon soap. Humph? First sip was slightly overcarbonated but still drinkable. Typical corn and malt flavour. Sweet finish with nothing but oily sweetness for a palate. Kind of boring...

This ale poured a black colour with a fast diminishing tan head. To the nose there was a slight scent of cocoa but very strong in the roasted malt scent. A little coffee with some earthy notes. First taste was somewhat thin and watery but still had quite a bit of flavour. Tastes of coffee, nuts and burnt malt. The finish was very roasted along with the palate. Mouthfeel was very thin though considering there is that much flavour.

Deep dark stout with a thick moka head. A nice roasted malts and chocolate in aroma, with figs and light fusel alcohol. In mouth, a rather light stout, with bitter chocolate and light lactic notes developping as beer warms up. Sampled on tap at the Wellington Gastropub, Ottawa, as Two Fisted Stout.

Dark reddish brown ale with a thin big bubbled moka head. Light sweet caramel malt in aroma. In mouth, pleasant nutty malt, with prolonged roasted coffee notes, and burned toast, and light sour notes. Overall, a nut brown to style.

2005 bottle, I assume big thanks to Sammy for the trade. Had this 7/10/2005. Highly unfiltered, this beer pours a deep red-raspberry jam color with caramel undertones. Pinkish yellow head is lasting and creates sheets of lace. Plenty of raspberry seeds at the bottom of the bottle. I seem to say this often, but this one has an incredibly fresh, authentic raspberry aroma. One of the best raspberry fruit beers of which I can think. Lightly tart and with a hint of light brown bread and acidity on the end. Flavor is a expertly integrated mix of brown malts, raspberries, delicious vanilla and caramel sweetness. A fresh acidity washes over the palate on the end. Natural, moderate carbonation adds just enough zest to make it refreshing. Lightly dry yeast on the end. Really pleasing on the tongue, hitting the sour and sweet receptors almost simultaneously. Having just had Founders Rubaeus, I must say that I like the added malt on this one, you can taste light caramel and some earthy, brown-bread dough which really provides more substance. Caramelized sugar with light raspberry creme brulee comes to mind. Less tartness, but still refreshing and drinkable. I also like that this brewer does not make any pretenses with the name and simply calls it framboise. The whole raspberries really make a difference. A wonderful fruit beer, and I’d like some more.

750ml ceramic bottle bought at the LCBO. Cork open with a huge pop, poured a medium pink beer with a super huge head with excellent retention. Carbonation is just perfect and aroma is great with what I can tell are real raspberry. Taste is not too sweet but still very refreshing with just enough tart. Limited hops but then that is to be expected of a fruit beer. This is a truly great fruit beer but the alcohol is just a bit too strong too make it truly great. Very good beer to enjoy during summertime.
