La Bière du Boucanier Dark Ale

Bottle. Looked nice with the large head. Dried fruit, caramel and some cola in the aroma. The taste was fruity with some caramel sweetness. Drinkable but I did feel some alcohol in the taste.

Bottle. Pours dark coppery brown with an off-white head that lasts for a short while. Nose has aromas of toffee, dark fruits, cola and grapes. Flavour is similar and slightly vinous, but not overly sweet: raisins, dates, caramel, cola, molasses and berries stand out. Medium body with a little sweetness up front and a slightly tart bitterness on the finish. A little thin but overall this is quite a good beer, alcohol very well hidden, and very easy to drink.

Decent Belgian. Reddish copper color with medium tan head. Aromas of roasted fruit and caramel. Flavors similar. Worth a shot but dont go out of you way.

Ruby-amber. Huge, foamy tan head. Aroma: Fruits, malt. Flavor: Fruits, caramel, wine-like. Somewhat sour finish.

330ml bottle from Pauls Liquor Store in Cayucos. Nose of molasses, cooked oatmeal cereal, and prunes. Cloudy dark brown with a medium beige head. flavor is lightly sweet, with some dark fruitiness, and brown sugar.

330 ml bottle from LCBO (part of gift pack). Pours a virtually opaque brown with a hit of red. Large tan head. Sweet aroma of yeast, malt. Alcohol smell is also present. Taste is strong of alcohol and yeast with strong fruit notes. Medium-full body. Decent beer.

Bottle at home. Light brown with a large light brown head. Aroma heavy malty (caramel, dark fruity, brown sugar), moderate hoppy. Flavor moderate to heavy sweet, light bitter. Almost full body.

Bottle, 9%. Yeasty aroma, rough maltiness. Cloudy dark brown colour. Very big unstable light brown head. The flavour is also quite yeasty. There is also a lot of maltiness, some fruitiness. But not clean at all. Drinkable, but not so good.
