Rastacouere (5201), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 14, 2005 Dark ruby brown color. Smallish tan head. Big malt nose, I’d definitely take this for a doppelbock. Fruity (peaches, mango) and desserty sweet, almost reminiscent of vanilla, but rather balanced by the strong toasty nuttiness and earthiness. Decent hop bill shines through toward the finish and carries the sweet malt into a long aftertaste. Full body, rich and malty. One of l’Amère’s most straight to the point, but just as well executed. muzzlehatch (4424), Burlington, Vermont, USA Mar 31, 2003 Like most of the other beers here, very sweet, but for once this is not a debit. Brown sugar, hints of molasses, very little carbonation, but a strong enough ending hoppiness to keep it from syrup. Not great, but nice. MartinT (4241), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jul 5, 2002 Updated: Jan 24, 2007Candied berries spread lightly on toasted maltiness…Vanilla and cereals in a sensuous body made to nourish and quench…I’m in no hurry for spring… tiggmtl (4155), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jan 17, 2005 Raisins, plums, mangoes and grapes in the aroma with full sweet malt sweetness. Dark ruby-brown with decent tan head that recedes slowly to lasting cover. Fruit flavours abound with plenty of thick, malts to chew on. Some nutty and vanilla overtones. Pleasant light bitterness and herbal/mildly spicy hop flavour takes the edge off in the finish. Lastingly sweet aftertaste. Nice strong carbonation engages the tongue while palate is full and thick with malt. On tap at the brewpub with muzzlehatch.
