Rastacouere (5270), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 28, 2008 Large beige head covers the hazy copper. Sugary and warming aroma despite the not too exuberant 6.5% ABV. The fruity, alcoholic and sweet flavour profile clearly belongs to a scotch ale though. Thick-bodied, soft and creamy, remarkably velvety texture. Candy reminiscent nose, not unlike Québec’s Sucre d’Orge. A texture beer really. A warming, soft and foamy presence in the mouth, concealing a earthy, slightly peaty malt base. Gentle cherry juiciness on top of red licorice complexifies the ensemble. Pleasant drinking - I love the mouthfeel.
