Cette biere au gout volouteux de penis fond dans la bouche a un tel point que vous croyez sincerement avoir une volumeux tronc d’arbre dans votre machoire. Cette bière de premier choix ne vous laissera pas indifférent à l’idée de déguster un majestueux pénis de premère classe.

500 ml bottle. Kinda muddy copper color, thick beige head. Aromas of mapple, ripe dark fruits, barley sugars and caramel. Tastes Barley sugars and caramel sweetness at first quickly followed by a tart and strong biterness/alcohol tag-team that you learn to appreciate after a few sips. A surprisignly dry hop finish for that beer. I like this kind of stuff and so should you! cheers

2015-07-18 - Bière rousse avec beaucoup de mousse beige et crémeuse. Très forte. Assez sucrée et bonne amertume.

johnnnniee (3093) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - JUL 10, 2015
Bottle from Bières Dépôt Au Vent du Nord. Hazy tawny brown color with a huge tightly bubbled off white head that persists forever. Sweet caramel and dark fruity nose with bits of pine and citrus to counter. A of bit alcohol in the flavor occasionally gets oppressive. Somewhat dry finish with a lingering hop bitterness. Big beer, nice sipper.

Speedy_Charly (156) - Plaisance, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 6, 2014
Bouteille de 500ml au Marché des Brasseurs. Brune aux reflets ambre/orangé avec une épaisse et crémeuse mousse beige, moyennement persistante. Nez de caramel/sucre brun et d’orange sur fond de malt et houblon. La rondeur du caramel et sucre est vite supplantée par l’amertume résineuse du houblon qui perdure un long moment en fin de bouche. Avec un IBU dans les 60-70 (estimation au pif) on pourrait presque l’appeler Imperial Barley Wine...

cargo150 (1171) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 31, 2014
Un beau liquide ambré tirant sur le orange avec une mousse plus ou moins stable domine le verre. Une odeur assez complexe de houblons,caramel,agrumes domine le nez. En bouche c’est toujours aussi bien complexe, les agrumes vont bien avec le caramel en finale une moyenne amertume. Corps moyen a élevé et une carbonation de meme. Un barley wine au dessus de la moyenne.

SuperTiti33 (788) - Aylmer, Quebec, CANADA - AUG 25, 2014
Ambrée. Sucré. Très caramélisé. Forte amertume. Résineuse. Grain torréfié (brun). Érable. Chaleur d'alcool. Bien.

HopsandBolts (212) - Ontario, CANADA - JUN 13, 2014
Pours an opaque dark brown with minimal tan head. Aromas of malt on the nose. Flavours of malt also. The alcohol is very present with this which isn’t a surprise since it is 11% abv.

jbeatty (1224) - New York, USA - MAY 26, 2014
Bottle, 05/26/2014. Pours clear, dark brownish amber, fizzy white head fades to a haze on the surface, thin soapy ring of lacing. Aroma is candied orange, brown sugar and caramel, citrus, quite fruity, resinous hops, mild spiciness. Taste is sticky orange caramel glaze, dark bread malts, thick pine bitterness, grassy. Thick, resinous body. Highly hopped, fruity barley wine, a bit aggressive and rough, though could develop more favorably with time.

probstblueribbon (3354) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - APR 27, 2014
500 mL bottle from Broue Ha Ha served cool in a tulip glass shared with friends. Very assertive hoppiness, peppery, resinous, dank, with some malt support, a bit fruity, slightly eucalyptus. Medium+ body, relaxed carbonation. Very peppery, resinous, almost harsh hops, alcohol, a bit of caramel malt support; dry with big bitterness and a long peppery, hoppy finish. Not quite for me.
