rauchbier (2873), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England May 20, 2003 Bottle conditioned. Amber, good rocky white head, nice lace and good condition. Excellent malt aromas lifted up on a breeze of alcohol, slight hint of coconut and caramel. Thick and chewy in the mouth with malty caramel, boiled sweets and malt whisky notes.Long long finish that is dry and slightly bitter. Supremely smooth and drinkable, but such a small bottle (250ml)! More a weak barley wine than an abbey beer.
Quevillon (1294), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Aug 31, 2008 Bu au Festival Bière et Saveur 08 (31/8), en bouteille au kiosk Univin. Blonde dorée, pas brune?, mince collet. Arome de malte un peu végétal, légèrement caramelisé. Goût de malte très légé, mais la sensation d’alcool est très présante. C’est de la bouette ça!

Medium bodied. Flavor is drier with chocolate still here, same sweet berriness comes also up. Licorice even in drying and mildly alcoholic aftertaste. Good beer, interesting filtered one.
