A red copper ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with ground cherries, lactic acid, light cork, Epsom salts, pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with ground cherries, lactic acid, Epsom salts, very nice.

16oz (thx, Alec B.!) @ home. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: mix of tropical fruits, a bit weird, maybe some acidity and lager hops notes. Taste: super juicy, lots of peaches. Overall: interesting, very nice.

Tout simplement mon meilleur du style à vie ;-) C'était si bon. La présence de la tequila est parfaitement dosée.

Tasting at Ryan's, bottle
Dark brown colour. Aroma of toasted nuts, coconut, chocolate. Sweet but lean, dark malt flavour, roasted nuts, biscuits, and warming alcohol.
Very good.

(950ml growler from the BG18e brewpub) Pours opaque pumpkin orange with basically no head and spotty chunks of fruit stuck to the glass. Aroma of ample floral pears and crisp red apples baked in lots of cinnamon and some nutmeg, brown sugar and soft maple syrup, some pumpkin pie vibes but the squash remains in the background. Flavour is lightly sweet and very lightly acidic, pumpkin is more obvious here with supporting floral pear and a little bite from the apple, cinnamon and light nutmeg build in the middle of the sip along with a lactic touch, but finishes softly sweet with some maple cinnamon vibes, pumpkin, floral pear and soft nutmeg. Medium-plus body, pretty thicc and well in smoothie territory, chewy fruit pieces but not much pear grit, no real carbonation. I have been avoiding the pumpkin beer cliché for so long now that I had actually forgotten they were a thing, but this is the best one I can remember trying. Superb blend of fruits and spices with good balance and high drinkability. Very creative smoothie!

750ml (thx, Alec B. for proxy!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: dark brown with a weak beige head and pieces of coconut floating on top. Aroma: roasted malts, coconut, vanilla. Taste: along the same lines, moderate sweetness, pretty nice body for no-lactose beer, some roastiness. Overall: good one.

Olfactif puissamment chocolaté avec des accents de torréfaction très prononcés rappelant le café fort. Notes de mélasse et esters fruités aux notes de pruneaux. Mousse beige foncé très effervescente et fuyante. Liquide brun noir avec reflets roux et opaque. En bouche, c’est également fortement chocolaté, sucré, avec des esters fruités noirs, du café et une amertume de torréfaction moyenne en finale. La fin de bouche est mi-sèche avec un mélange de notes de torréfaction, un peu d’alcool (malgré qu’il soit très bien intégré) et de sucres résiduels. La carbonatation est assez élevée pour une bière impériale. Le corps est bien rond, moelleux et l’alcool assez bien incorporée à l’ensemble de la palette. Richement chocolaté ce porter impérial.
