Murky brown pour with a thin beige head. Anise dominates the aroma, there seems to be some caramel and earthy malt in there, but it’s crushed by the anise. The flavor has a bit more balanced, the anise leaves some space for the caramel and earthy malt to express themselves, but still keeps the center stage to itself. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and gentle carbonation. Not bad at all, but there’s way too much anise in there.

Bottle. Very deep brown-red with a medium foamy mocha head with average retention and great lacing. Aroma is a ton of liquorice and caramel, molasses, plums and spices. Very very sweet. Flavor is liquorice, caramel, spices, molasses and alcohol with a slightly bitter and sweet finish. Full body. Bièropholie is a brewery that often visit the extremes, but is one has a total lack of drinkability. Its mainly molasses and liquorice.

341 mL bottle. Opaque orange-brown with a brown head that begins well, but fades to a thick ring. Really a lovely smelling beer; smells like the mint humbugs my grandfather used to eat. The flavour is dominated by black licorice, along with some mint and a touch of chocolate. Has the malty sweetness of a Scotch Ale, but it is certainly not overdone. A touch of bitterness at the end. Little of the roast and none of the smoke you sometimes find in a Scotch Ale. Very drinkable.

341 ml bottle. Pours dark brown with almost no head. Powerfull aroma. Notes of alcohol, caramel, spices. Strong taste that I’m unable to identify. Maybe anice like some said. I have to say i don’t like it much. Seems well crafted and good quality but it just ain’t what i like. Rating 17. 100209

J’ai goûté cette bière quelques jours après avoir bu une Mackroken Flower du deuxième brassin qui avait vieilli de quelques années. Un monde de différence. Cette bière n’est ni à la hauteur de leur précédente Scotch Ale, la Mackroken, ni à la hauteur de la réputation de la micro-brasserie et encore moins à la hauteur de son prix. 3,69$ ou 3,99$ la bouteille de 341 ml, c’est vraiment abusif au goût de mes papilles! Ce n’est pas une mauvaise bière, mais je ne peux pas dire grand chose de mieux. Elle manque de punch, elle manque de corps et elle vraiment très sucrée avec peu d’amertume. La Mackroken Flower que brasse et embouteille maintenant Le Bilboquet, à qui la recette a entre autres été vendue, est une nettement meilleure bière...

Bottled. Poured clear, deep reddish-brown with a dusting of beige head. The aroma was very fruity with darker notes, toasty caramel, and nutty notes.. smelled strong, but it amplified the maltage rather well. The flavor had syrupy caramel and dark fruits malts at the core with spicy notes and a backsplash of molasses.. finished warm, dry, and fruity. Medium-plus bodied with a thick-ish feel to it.. low carbonation.. warm and dry. This was alright, but I’d prefer more caramel than fruit.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur rouge-brune foncée et claire. Nez de réglisse noire sucrée (anis), malté de caramel toffee avec des notes fumées, boisées et de chocolat, légèrement fruitée (raisins) ainsi que léger de noix et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux petites notes sirupeuses. Moyen-goût fruité (raisins aux petites notes vineuses, notes de dates et de prunes) accompagné dun goût de réglisse noire (anis, intense) ainsi que des petites notes fumées lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel toffee moyennement rôti (notes brûlées et traces terreuses) et sucré, léger de chocolat noir et avec des traces de mélasse et de sirop dérable. Parallèlement, lon retrouve un petit goût dalcool liquoreux aux notes réchauffantes jusqu en finale où lon y retrouve également un léger goût de houblon herbeux ainsi qu un léger goût de noix et des notes boisées et épicées (regain d’anis, faibles traces de gingembre). Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de rôti, de chocolat noir, de houblon herbeux avec un goût épicé (anis), un léger goût fruité (moût de raisins) et des notes dalcool et de noix.
