Objectively speaking:
Draught at Brouhaha. Generous and oily scotch ale in line with Trou du Diable’s other very malty offering with its cerealic dominance and slick oily palate.
I like:
Hidden alcohol. Rather complex maltiness. Sweet and tiring, but never exagerating in its residual sugars - just a straight and chewy cerealic medley.
I dislike:
This is really quite oily with little carbonation to compensate. Cereal focus takes a munich angle with the associated flavours (dark bean, warm maroon, warm chesnut, brazil nut). Not so much fruitiness. Heavy and filling to drink, a few ounces are enough. Excessively low carbonation.

Aug 10, 2008 [1480-20080601] Tap. Buttery toasted caramel aroma. Clear, dark amber brown body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Creamy buttery booze flavour has more sweet smooth caramel notes. Medium body. Average.

Jul 4, 2008 Bu en fut (12 oz) à Brouhaha, Le 4/7/08. Ruby très foncée, moyen collet. Arome de soctch et de fruits mures, assez malté. Goût de malte roti et caramelisé, une touche d’alcool plaisant, très doux. Bon, mais pas comme celle aux cerise!

Jun 24, 2008 A generous copper ale with a thick light moka head. One word...buttery! Biscuitty malt also come through with strawberry. In mouth, a very fruity scotch ale, with Graham cracker and berries in finale. Some maple notes in residual. A bit thin considering its 9%. On tap at Brouhaha.

Jun 23, 2008 Draught@ Mondial 2008. Carmel/Deep Brown with cream head. Almost un-carbonated with strong alcohol flavour. It was part of the 15e series and I felt it was one of the less impressive entries. An average scotch ale.

Jun 6, 2008 2008-06-01. Dark brown body with a modest tan head. (3+) Aroma of dusty earthy malt, mild caramel undertones. (7+) Similar flavour, earthy notes, sweet caramel malt finishes drier with a tangy touch to the caramel and malt. Average plus palate. (3+). Decent. On tap, Mondial, Montreal, 4T
