Came in a cardboard scotch tube and in a 660ml bottle. Celebrating already 20 years of Brasseurs RJ... congrats ! Cellared this one, and now it is time. Pours a hazy caramel red-orange colour with a small off-white head that dissipate fairly quickly and not much is left. Nice slow carbonation though. Fruity scent with some raisins, figs, grainy malts and notes of nuts. Thin watery body with a little stick and no alcohol felt at all. The taste is pretty quiet overall, with some mild touches of caramel malt, biscuit, roasted malt, hints of plum and coffee. A lighter-tasting Doppelbock that is not trying to shock the world and goes down easy.

bouteille 341ml. De couleur cuivrée foncée et claire. Nez de caramel sucré, léger de grains de malt sucrés et aux notes rôties avec des notes de houblon herbeux et des traces de pain grillé. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes huileuses. Goût de grains de malt moyennement sucrés et légèrement rôtis accompagné de traces d’épices lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un moyen goût de caramel avec des notes de pain grillé et des petites traces de sucre brûlé puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées, notes de foin) avec des notes de noix asséchantes et d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement amer de rôti, léger de houblon herbeux avec des petites notes de noix et d’alcool.

Bottle. Cloudy light orange colour with a thin watery head. Aroma of herb and fruit. Unusual flavour, has a very dry finish. spicy and makes the mouth water. Hard to rate.

Bright foggy yellow body with some head on top. Faint aroma of wheat detergent and horse hair. Taste is faint watery wit-bier stuff. Not bad, not interesting either. Hard to find anything that stands out about this brew.

Okay amber colour, modest yellow-white head. Very faint aroma of hops. Taste is almost nonexistent, some dry cloying notes with the wheat showing through. Dry finish. This one’s not doing much for me.

Foggy yellow with plenty of carbonation, small head on top. Fruity hops and grain aroma. Taste is grainy with a slightly plastic aftertaste. A bit too dry and it becomes cloying.

Aroma is cardboard and faint hops. Has a light gold body with no head. Taste is vague fruity notes followed by a dry finish. Very boring.
