| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Clear amber/golden with a medium foamy white head. Aroma is caramel, toasted malt, a touch of maple syrup, herbal hops and some limited fruity notes. Flavor is similar with caramel, honey, sweet malt, fruity notes and herbal hops. Amazingly drinkable for a 9%abv. Alcohol is very well hidden. Not so much complexity, but well made. TaktikMTL (2786), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Strawberry esters are prominent in this creamy Strong Lager, adding mild complexity to the hefty sweet and toasted malts, before alcohol warmth cleans up the back end.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the hazy amber-tinged blond.
-The mouthfeel on this one was as soft and round as their other two beers’.
-This is quite drinkable for a 9% brew (even though the alcohol is tasted).
-Herbal hops appear in the last half.
-All of their brews are malt-heavy, yet amazingly drinkable.
On tap at the brewpub.
