mcberko Profile

355mL can, pours a clear dark amber red with a small beige head. Aroma is pretty hoppy for a barleywine, with resinous notes, caramel malt, and bready notes. Flavour is on the drier, hoppier side for a barleywine, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and some earthy hoppy bitterness. Reasonably balanced with slight astringent bitterness on the finish. Good but nothing more.

Old Fashioned from Beauregard - Brasserie Distillerie

11 months ago

5/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 5 Overall 5

355mL can, pours black with a large brown head. Aroma has some orange zest, some metallic notes, some weird funkiness, and a little roast. Flavour is infected, with sour brett and moderate roast. No notice of the bourbon – this is just the typical Quebecois-infected BA stout. Why can this province’s breweries not get their shit together in this regard?

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

500mL bottle, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of brett, moderately tart raspberries, and a touch of acidity. Flavour is tart and dry, with dusty raspberries, some tartness, and gentle funk. Smooth and cohesive, but not hugely complex. Pretty solid.
