Clean amber colour with some light golden highlights. The head is big, frothy, warm light-beige with good retention and some nice creamy-foamy streaks left. Caramel malt base aromas with a herbal touch from the hops that come out, some decent fruitiness from the malts as well. The maltiness continues into the taste with the caramel-fruity notes, and then, hop grassiness right over to cut the sweetness. Wet mouthfeel with some good milder dryness. Gets a little hazy as it pours and hints of spices do appear in the nose. A real easy-drinking amber ale that is modern with the hoppier touch.

After having the coffee version of this stout, now having this one. The big difference is we do not get the coffee in the aromas. Same dark brown colour with copper highlights, bubbly mocha-coloured head and light soapy lacing. Roasted malts we get in the nose with some mild dark fruits and molasses. Wet mouthfeel again with a touch of dryness, tartiness that eventually builds. Roasted malt flavours, watery, not intense, nor thick. An easy-drinking, kind of refreshing standard stout that is fine.

Pours a dark brown colour with some copper highlights, a big bubbly-foamy, mocha-coloured head, decent lasting and some light soapy spots left on the glass. Coffee aromas over the roasted malts base, hints of molasses and nuttiness. Wet mouthfeel, more on the light-bodied side with just enough dryness, tart left on the tongue. Milder flavours of coffee blending with the roasted barley, dark fruit notes and a tad molasses. A refreshing, easy-drinking coffee stout that goes down well for 5.9% ABV.

Olfactif aux subtils éléments caramélisés et aux houblons épicés et terreux qui ressortent sans grande force. Couleur ambrée foncée, presque brune, délicatement voilée avec une mousse moyennement petite qui tient à peine. Caramel très subtil avec des notes grillées de noisettes et une fin de bouche un peu terreuse. Des esters aux notes cerises s’immiscent dans la palette. La fin de bouche est équilibrée avec accents maltés et légère amertume terreuse avec un soupçon d’épices. Ni les malts ni les houblons ne semblent ressortir dans cette Amber Ale correcte mais sans plus. O:6.66 V:3.23 G:6.37 C:4.08 G:12.5 T:32.84
