Mar 13, 2009 Bottle thanks to Gouglouburp!
Pours ruby-mahogany, small white head. Nose has vanilla, caramel, and dark malt. Flavor is very balanced, great stuff: maple, dry wood, earth, and alcohol. Sticky and slightly salty, the palate is big without being cumbersome, some nice maple balanced with wood through the finish. A controlled, balanced scotch ale, which doesn’t seem to be easy, but this one succeeds, especially in the flavor.

Mar 13, 2009 Bottle, $2.75 in Montreal. Pours brown with a wispy white head; classic Scotch Ale. Aroma is herbal, earthy, and a touch caramelly. Flavor starts with rich caramel and dark fruit, then reveals soft maple syrup. Some soft roasts in there too. Aftertaste is long, warming, and complexly sweet. Good beer overall, though it doesn’t quite capture a balance of flavors the way some of the best Scotch Ales have.

Feb 16, 2009 Acheté au paradis de la bières et dégusté dans un verre de fin du monde. Apparence brune ambré caramellisé avec de léger dépôt et une mousse tenace. Arômes d’érable, de noisette, de caramel, de vanille et de levure fraiche. Goût de sirop d’érable et de caramel avec une petite touche de canelle et de muscade, encore une fois très léger. Une bière merveilleuse.

Feb 15, 2009 341 ml bottle. Dark ruby red brown colour. Medium-sized white
fine-laced head. Rich and rounded malty aroma with lots of
caramel. Sharp hop bitterness in the background that balances the
otherwise rich malts. Finishes with a sharp hop bitterness. Overall
a great and complex beer that is very enjoyable.
