Originally rated March 2006. After having the Bock Émissaire from Bièropholie, I am trying this one. Bought at the Dépanneur de la Rive in Cap-Rouge, Quebec. Pours a lighter colour that is amber and cloudy, with a high level of carbonation. The off-white head is very creamy, big and ever-lasting. Some lace is left, but not much. The nose is quite hoppy with floral notes. Mouthfeel is between watery and syrupy. The taste is pretty mild, almost watered down. Some slight caramel and hop. Not too bad, but prefered the Bock Émissaire, because this one is lacking in the flavour department.

Originally rated June 2006. Pours a dark auburn colour with an off-white tiny-bubbled head that has decent retention, but does not leave much lacing. Nice hop is present in the aroma, with some caramel and mild roasted malts. Good 3mm thickness of head stays on top, and lace is finally seen as a sip is taken. Active tiny bubble carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel, with the taste of caramel, light nut, roasted malt and hop. Not much bitterness and thin-bodied, but still a nice average scotch ale.

Pours with an amber colour for sure, but absolutely no head. Aroma of slightly barn-funky malts and grass. Taste is wet rye bread and a dry sharp cherry finish. Very rousse-like and pretty good, rather tasty though simple.
