Brassin 1er anniversaire Bouteille de 500 ml. Vieillie environ 1 an. La bière se présente avec une couleur orangée ainsi qu’un col de mousse impressionnant et parfait qui reste tout au long de la dégustation. Au nez on découvre des arômes de coriandre, de levure, de grain, d’alcool et de poivre. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une texture pétillante. On goûte des saveurs fruitées de mangue, de pêche et d’orange avec des notes de levure et une finale qui présente une touche d’alcool. Excellent

<i>Bottle &#40;500ml&#41; courtesy of Viper666, as ’Brasseurs et Frères 2ième Anniversaire 2008’.</i> Pours a clear bubbly orange-amber with a diminishing average size off-white head. Aroma’s a little sweet with some alcohol noticeable along with dark fruit, caramel, yeast and candi sugar &#045;&#045; it’s not bad but it doesn’t quite gel like it should. Flavour’s sweet and kind of flat, with caramel malt, alcohol, honey, some fruit and candi sugar. It has an odd boozy bitter finish &#045;&#045; there’s something about it I don’t love. Average bodied, sticky mouthfeel. This beer is not awful but it’s a bit of a mess: It’s too sweet, too boozy and too unbalanced, I’m not enjoying drinking it.

Dégustation verticale d’une 1er anniversaire &#40;16 mois&#41; et d’une 2e anniversaire &#40;4 mois&#41;. 1er: Bouteille brune de 500 ml. Arômes de fruits rouges et de caramel. Robe brune claire aux reflets rouges, peu de mousse. Plutôt douce et équilibrée en bouche, les fruits rouges accompagnent le caramel. Finale légèrement alcoolisée. 2e:Bouteille brune de 500 ml. Arômes sucrés de caramel et de mélasse. Robe brune claire aux reflets rouges, peu de mousse. Plus sucrée que la version vieillie, la mélasse et la cassonade sont bien présents. Légère touche d’alcool en arrière-goût. Le vieillissement était plutôt agréable dans ce cas.

&#40;Draught&#41; Sampled at Brouhaha. Pours a dissipated white head with a copper body. Nose of strong alcohol, fruit and caramel. Flavour is fairly floral and malty. Smooth but plain. Missing some complexity.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper/brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramel and toffee malt is quite sweet. Taste is also a mix between some caramel and toffee malt with a very sweet ending. Definitely not a pure dubbel as per style guideline but more of mix between a dubbel and a scotch ale. Body is quite full with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well done overall and something I wouldn’t mind having more regularly.
