Bottle: Poured a clear light brown color bock with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of light dry caramel malt note is OK. Taste is also dominated by light dry caramel malt notes with limited amount of complexity. Body is light with medium carbonation. Easy drinking beer with limited amount of complexity.

La nouvelle image fait du bien à la bouteille mais le produit, quant à lui, est très "flat", autant aux yeux qu’en bouche. Trop d’alcool en finale mais somme tout très respectable. J’aurais pu facilement confondre avec un genre de scotch ale bien houblonne...

Medium copper with a small off white head that doesn’t last. Nose is caramel with very light grassy hops. Light sweet all the way through with a light accompanying bitterness. Medium light thin mouth with soft carbonation. Not much distinguishing character.

Clear medium yellow with a small white head. Light roasted malt and a background of even lighter floral hops. Lightly sweet throughout with only minimal bitterness. Light mouth with average carbonation and a crisp finish. OK.

Dark clear reddish brown with a generous tan head that lingers. Roasted nuts and brown sugar with a bit of dark fruit. Moderate sweet toffee throughout with a bit of alcohol in the mix. Medium creamy mouth with average carbonation. Decent enough Scotch ale but no particular outstanding character.

Clear deep copper with a one finger off white head that leaves minimal lace. Lots of pine and citrus with a pronounced toffee backing. Light sweet brown sugar start with a moderate grapefruit and resin bitterness in the middle through the finish. Mouth is medium light and a little thin with a long dry finish.

A deep dark porter with a thin mocha head. In aroma, nice fruity chocolate malt with light peated notes, grassy hops, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nutty caramel chocolate malt with smooth peaty notes, butterscotch, alcohol warmth, very nice. On tap at Oktoberfest 2014.

Bottle from Peluso, 2$ and I bought it for the name/label. It is a clear gold with a bready light malt but somewhat buttery diacetyl aroma. Thankfully the taste is alright a slightly rough pils flavor, crackery with a crisp noble hop finish. OK but one of the weaker beers I have had in Quebec.

Drunk from the bottle, sweet caramel & biscuity aroma with lots of pine. Med-full bodied with tons of biscuit, bitter pine and a clean crisp taste. One dimensional but nice.
