Bièropholie S

Formerly brewed at Bièropholie
Style: American Strong Ale
, Canada

Bourgogne foncé, pas de collet, arome de caramel et d’épice, goût fruité, caramelisé et chocolaté et une arrièr goût fort et chaleureux. Je ne sais pas pour le nom "S", mais je crois que ça veut dire Super.

Rating #800. 341 ml bottle courtesy turg. Dark mahogony colour with a quickly diminishing frothy off-white head. Rich toffee and dark chocolate aroma plus plum, raisin, cherry, and other fruit with oaky and acidic notes. Flavour shows port, citrus fruit, and more plum and raisin with a chocolaty and boozy finish. Also some acidity, almost like there’s some Flemish Sour in there somewhere. Full bodied, very warming but very drinkable for 12.5%. In Na Zdravi, i found a tribute to Orval. Here I find a salute to De Dolle. Many thanks turg for this gem for #800.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, Blankboy’s bottle. Sweet alcohol, almost sherry like aroma. Very formidable! A little bottle like though and even some molasses - maybe a tad too harsh too. Deep mahogany brown, no head, very still looking in the glass. Lovely alcohol taste, wonderfully balanced with immense sweetness. Some burning linger. A lovely sipper.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of me. Pours a clear dark reddish-brown with relatively no head. Very sweet aroma of caramel malt, fruit, sugar, wood and alcohol -- very pleasant. Really nice flavour, almost port-like, of sweet malt, some wood notes, fruit, hops and a boozy finish -- it’s definitely a sipper. This was a nice surprise, I really liked it!

great tint of red with a brownish color, a smell of toffee but disappointing for the taste cause the presence of alcool is too present and hide the others flavor.

Bottle. Ruby brown body with little or no head. Boozey caramel aroma is quite sweet. Flavour has underlying caramel malt with fairly dominant hot alcohol and a dry finish. Medium palate is fairly still and uncarbonated. Decent but lacks the complexity or sophistication to warrant greater attention or repeat visits.

Bottle (341ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jer and tupalev - blankboy’s bottle. Poured clear orange-mahogany with a minimal off-white bubbly head. Aroma of sweet malt, alcohol, wood resin, candied citrus rind, yeast and light hops - very appealing. Tastes of alcohol (oh yeah, 12.5%!), sweet spicy woody malt, orange juice - has quite an alcohol/hop bitter finish; simple but very well done. Mouthfeel is sticky, sryupy, alcoholic, but only an average body - overall quite strong, but the wood character mellows it out enough to keep it from being overpowering - I’d have this again!
