Can. A bit boozy aroma, but nice. A bit too much spirits in the mouth. Dark chocolate, roasted malts, oak hints and tannins. Except for the spirits flavor, a very nice one. 747415 260321

Can. A quite dry imperial stout, roasted, lightly warming, with a nice barrel touch. Perhaps a bit boozy although not very warming. A nice first meeting with this brewery. 747415

Black with a beige head. Dark roasted malts, bourbon, chocolate, earth, vanilla. Body is lighter than expected. Finish is hot with bourbon. Similar to others in this “series” the beer does not come together in a seamless fashion but feels compartmentalized and abrupt as we move through it. It’s a nice beer but is missing that refined quality.

Bière bue à la maison pour la Saint-Patrick. Robe noire profonde, presque opaque, avec une mousse brun foncé aux reflets café, crémeuse mais qui se dissipe en laissant un joli liseré. Nez intense et complexe, torréfié et terreux, puis viennent le bourbon, la vanille et le chêne.
En bouche, l’attaque est semi-sucrée, portée par un torréfié boisé et chaleureux. Le bourbon s’exprime pleinement, accompagné de vanille et de chêne, avec une dimension alcoolisée assumée. La finale est plus amère, marquée par les tanins du bois et une belle persistance boisée. La texture est ample, légèrement tannique, avec une chaleur alcoolique bien intégrée. Une belle oatmeal stout vieillie en fût de bourbon, efficace et réconfortante.
