Commercial Description:
“a stout of great contention” We are not the harbingers of truth as some may suggest but it may indeed be argued that our brewing philosophy is tantamount to a dessert with a bellicose past. How, you may ask, would a brewery determine a likeness to hard-coated custard? Our response is simple; it’s all in the power of history, and of course, the extra finesse needed to top off a contentious treat with definition.

By comprehending the labyrinthine movement of time, one would not think it strange to trace the errant path of an ordinary object such as a cream dessert only to discover that it has been the cause of cultural disputes since the middle ages. The British founders of burnt cream and from Spain, crema catalana, both stand by their creative originality and we respect that, but it was the French Crème Brûlée, amid the strife of contention, that survived to represent our deliciously creamy brew. 10.0% abv • 25º plato • 195º L • 22 oz / 1/6 keg 2-row pale malt / dark caramel malt / vanilla bean / lactose sugar / kettle hops: columbus / aroma hops: horizon

Yeah, it tastes like creme brulee, I guess. Caramel, chocolate and alcohol both in the aroma and flavor. Nothing too complex or worth writing home about.

Bottle at Craig’s house. Strong vanilla flavour, doesn’t taste so much of beer.

Bottle. Dark brown body, with a small brown head. Aroma is sweet vanilla and caramel. Flavor is also vanilla, caramel and notes off coffee. Burned aftertaste. This is way too sweet for me.

Pours a deep dark black with an almond head. Aroma is super sweet with almond, vanilla and caramel. Taste is like a french vanilla coffee from Tim Horton’s. There is vanilla bean, caramel with coffee undertones. A very nice beer although very sweet.

65 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Jet black, velvety tan head that leaves only lacing. Vanilla, caramel and sweet booze aroma. Thick in the mouth, sweet toffee and a creaminess to the fist sip. Turns to a faint bitterness at the back of the throat with a surprising dry finish.

22 oz. bottle from The Red House. Didn’t have that viscous pour I was looking for, or an off-white head. Nice black body on this beer. However, they got this specific aroma is amazing; straight up creme brulee aroma. Very aromatic stout. There is nothing else to mention in terms of aroma but that creme brulee aroma. Some might see this as artificial, but I am actually fairly impressed with this. Wow, a very sweet creme brulee flavor with a slight roast backing that kind of helps balance it out. This thing has a syrup-like palate. Damn this stout is different, but I kind of like it. I could see women who don’t generally like beer loving this. Very much a dessert stout. Fairly impressed with how they went outside the normal boundaries of a beer.

Bouteille de 660ml. Noire opaque surmontée d’une moyenne mousse capuccino offrant une bonne tenue. Arômes de caramel, de vanille, de cassonade, d’érable, de malt torréfié de crème et d’alcool. En bouche, crème brulée, malt torréfié, caramel, vanille, érable, cassonade, alcool et une finale amère. Bière dessert intéressante, mais très sucrée.

Bottle. Dark brown body with a medium tan head. Lots sweet caramel, sweet chocolate and burnt dark sugar in aroma. Light roasted as well. The flavour is sweet caramel with notes of vanilla, dark sugar, light coffee and light tobacco.

Kind of a novelty - I think the enjoyment of this beer is a bit on the superficial side - take away the brulee flavor and I’m not sure what you’d be left with. It is a nice, new kind of flavor, however.
