Simple Malt Double Porter

Brewed by Brasseurs Illimités
Style: Smoked
St Eustache, Canada

Bottle ( 341ml ). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with JulienHuxley. Hazy ruby, average frothy tan head (4-). Moderately sweet aroma - maple syrup, smokey peat. Taste follows - peatier, a nice Islay character, not much booze either - decent roast nutty malt. Light, slick mouthfeel, a little acidic, slightly still - a mild campfire tang in the finish. Pretty solid - not all that robust, but what the hey.

Thanks to HogTownHarry, shared with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Dirty dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma: Nice smokiness, slight whiskey, malt and cream. Flavour: Bitter at first, then cream, malt, bread and a long lasting bitter finish. Very nice.

Bottle: Poured a clear brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and not much lacing. Aroma of smoked is quite dominant with some notes of roasted malt also noticeable. Taste is dominated by a nice mix of smoked malt with a little touch of roasted malt. Body is bit thin and beer would be better with a fuller body with good carbonation. Very well done with loads of smoked malt but I think this beer would be even better with more roasted malt and a fuller creamier body.

Pours dark brown with a small head that quickly disappears. Aroma is of slight smoke and hints of roasted malt. Taste is similar with notes of coffee, smoked wood backed up with some btiterness. Not as complex as expected, the flavour is nice and definitely enjoyable, goes down very smooth, but overall it is good, not great.

Dark reddish brown with a quick fading head. Lactic notes in the aromas, something like chocolate milk, followed by some peat. Very lightly carbonated, a bit aqueous, with a very thin body that end up on a burning bitter cocoa finish that remembers me of...coca cola! Not all bad, but the sum of the taste is like a dismantle object. It’s quite hard to patch all the taste together, especially with the watery texture of the beer.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur brune-rouge foncée et claire. Nez de malt fumé (bacon, fumée de bois) et légèrement rôti (faibles notes brûlées)ainsi que des notes de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de malt fumé (bacon, saucisse fumée, fumée de bois, présent toute la gorgée) auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de malt rôti, léger de chocolat noir avec des traces de pain grillé puis en finale l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume de houblon herbeux aux petites notes asséchantes. Post-goût long et aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de rôti, léger de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux avec un goût de fumée.

341 ml bottle bought at Peluso, November 17, 2009. Caramel brown, small head. Aroma of half-burnt wood smoked malt. a touch sweet. The taste of smoked malt is very dominant, some roasted coffee, a dry aftertaste, but a little bitter. A very good smoked porter, faithful to the Bièropholie version!
