A clear reddish brown lager with a thick light moka head. Very sweet aroma of brown sugar and vanilla, with gin alcohol.. In mouth, a sweetish oily bock, with light nuttiness, very short in mouth...medium bodied. Ho hum beer for the style.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color lager with a huge foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of sweet caramel malt with not much else in term of identifiable characteristics. Taste is dominated by some sweet caramel malt with no banana ester that I usually expect from the style. Average body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Better then I had expected but still below my expectation for the style

341ml bottle in Metis-sur-Mer, Quebec. Straw with a rapidly fading white head; reasonably bitter and full flavoured with a slightly sour finish. A pleasant summer beer to dirnk while sitting on the terrace watching the sunset.

431ml bottle bought in Montreal. Straw coloured with a ring of white head; malty aroma; flavour is also malty and slightly sweet with oak and vanilla notes; there’s a short burst of bitterness floowed by a sweet and sticky finish. A nice blonde style beer.

Hazy brown reddish ale with a thick off white head. A sweet malt aroma with strong coriander notes, light pineapple notes. In mouth signs of autolysis and phenol. A sweet malt with strong coriander added. Relatively young bottle (less than 3 mo.). Medium bodied. Late November 2006.

Bottle: Poured a clear medium copper color bock with an average size foamy head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt is somewhat interesting but no signs of banana or cloves could be detected as I would have expected from a doppelbock. Taste is also dominated by some sweet malt notes and not much else. Body is a bit thin for the style with some average carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I remember really enjoying this beer years ago but this a pale shadow of its former self.
