Beer is clear and brown with a white broken head. Carbonation is low and the head sticks to the walls of the glass but leaves no lacing.
The aroma is a mixture of roasted malt and some sweet fruit esters like apricots and a mild malt sweetness.
This beer has a strong hickory aftertaste / late taste to it. THere is also an Earthy / peaty smoke flavor to it in the midpalate. There is some sweetness up front but I'm not feeling it. Too Earthy for my tastes. Medium to low body, drinkability suffers on this one for me.

Mondiale 2007. Good creamy head, fresh aromas. Medium mouthfeel, lots of caramel and sugar. Butterscotchy, which the brewer has said is on purpose. Yeast adds to drinkability. A decent scotch. Their best beer of the eight I had, which was the basic lineup.

Not a very original name, I know there is at least 2 or 3 more Beers out there with that name, including one right here in Québec...
Appearance: Semi-translucent ruby red, little bubbly plumes spurted from the bottom of my glass to reach up to a thin white head.
Smell: Fruity, caramel aromas, with a smoky, cured meat smell I also got from his ESB. Basically, this guy brews with whatever grain he's got handy, style be damned. I've got no qualms with that I suppose.
Taste: A big old rush of alcohol, fusels and other boozy vapors, the caramel malt eventually shows up for a quick hello and leaves with a sweet but dry finish, probably from candi sugar. Most sctoch ales brewed in Québec lately have been malt bombs and frankly I tend to prefer those, but it was a nice change of pace and a good interpretation of the style.
