12oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with a tan head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor of maple syrup and caramel. Alcohol is decently hidden considering it’s 9.8%.

Brown with a thin tan head. Sweet boozy malt smell. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Sweet malt and maple syrup flavor with a bitter burnt malt/alcohol taste to finish, thats it. 101606

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry. De couleur brune rouge foncée et claire. Nez fruité (raisins, léger de prunes, notes de figues et de cerises), malté de caramel moyennement rôti et légèrement sucré, léger de sirop d’érable et de noix avec des notes d’alcool, de chocolat et de sucre brun. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas et une texture crémeuse et aux petites notes à la fois aqueuses et sirupeuses. Goût de levures fruitées (raisins sucrés et aux notes vineuses, léger de cerises et de figues, notes de prunes) accompagné de faibles notes boisées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de malt rôti légèrment amérisant, assez sucré de sucre brun et moyen de sirop d’érable ainsi que des notes de chocolat noir (traces de caramel toffee terreux) et de pain. Parallèlement l’on retrouve un léger goût d’alcool aux notes réchaufffantes jusqu’en finale accompagné d’un léger goût asséchant de noix et légèrement amer de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen-long et sec, moyennement amer de rôti, d’alcool doux-moyen, de houblon herbeux et de fruits (moût de raisins, pelures de prunes), léger de noix et avec de faibles notes boisées et de chocolat.

This is a bold brew overall and can be descibed as plain decent. Very drinkable, however, doesn’t have much character or any distinguishing notes. Alcohol is blended well and has a rich roast and syrup palate.

Aroma is a sour scent with mild roasted tones in the back. Color is a near black amber with low carbonation and almost no head, just a ring of tiny bubbles around the edge. Taste is sweet and thick. Starting with a full body it goes down with a heavy feel. Finish is a big rich sweet bite that is backed by a sudden bitterness. In the after taste a roasted flavor comes out for just a moment. Its just seems a bit unbalanced, the sweet bites to much, the bitter is it quick to make up for it and then the only sign of roasted malt comes in late and to briefly. Its not bad but not a brew I will get again.

Pours a reddish brown with a tan head. Aroma has a sweetness accompanied by a slight chocolate note. Has a nice malty flavor with a touch of the maple and some notes of chocolate.
