RJ Le Cheval Blanc Tord Vis!

Brewed by Brasseurs RJ
Style: Belgian Ale
Montreal, Canada

Strong spicy and fruity aroma. Orange and dense appearance. Maple Sirup is my favorite part of this beer. I like Maple Sirup. Contrary to an other beer that I tasted in Mondial de la Bière de Montréal (beer that I don’t remember the name), Tord-Vis is good from the first taste to the last.

Une bière très intéressante, avec un légé saveur de sirop d’érable, pas trop sucré.

Bouteille de 660 ml provenant du brassin 2003 (Donc vieille de 2 ans) gracieusité de mon frère. Arôme: Forte odeur d’érable. (Sûrement dû au 2 ans de vieillissement). Apparence: Couleur blonde foncée voilée. Aucun col. Fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de sucre d’érable très agréable. Court arrière goût. Palette: Corps moyen avec une texture huileuse. Carbonisation moyenne. Arrière goût sucré. Je suggère au monde de faire vieillir la bière pour qu’elle développe son goût d’érable. (Rating #104)

Drank in a tulip glass. Orange cloudy body, nice head but missing a little something. Aromas of bread, wood, nutmeg, allspice, pepper. Thin palate, honey dry finish. Light flavors of maple sirup. You can feel the alcohol to the palate as well with a hint of orange peelings. You can definitly taste what you smell.

Caramel and malty aroma. As others pointed out, oranges flavor is added to the mix in mouth. Smoked malt gives a nice texture. Warming

Thanks to Boutip for this taste of la belle provence. Hazy amber colour with a 1" thick, fairly persistant head. Very malty smelling, with a sweet caramel malt, vanilla, maple syrup, and whiskey prominently displayed. Smells like a dram of single malt scotch. Flavour is also sweet and slightly smokey. Some yeasty flavour and a bit of earthiness also sneak into this as it warms a bit. Finish shows the tiniest hint of floral hops before trailing off into sweet whiskey and maple. Decent body. Could have been cloying but wasn't. A very interesting and respectable beer that’s worth trying.

Hazy orange in colour with only a small amount of carbonation. The aromas start off as somewhat yeasty, but then quickly evolves into a combination of maple and vanilla. Fairly malty flavor with some subtle sweet maple and nut flavors on the finish. Unique.

Nice dark orange and very cloudy beer with nice but thin head. Strong maple aroma. Good mix of malt, hops, spices and celeri salt (!!!) flavor. Long and moderately bitter final. Hard to compare to any other product.
