Rousse Forte à La Canneberge Et Aux Épices
La Barberie

A - Poured with a small head of light tan foam. The head settles quickly into the clear, amber brown body.

S - Toffee malt with cherry and plum notes.

T - Dark, bready malt with tart pie filling notes. Cherry and dark caramel in the middle as it fades to a dry, toasty finish with moderate bitterness.

M - Medium body, moderately low carbonation, and a slightly dry finish.

D - An interesting combination of intense fruit character and brown malt. Fairly enjoyable, though it seems like it is lacking something that I can't quite put my finger on.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a reddish foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of spices is dominating and maybe a bit too harsh for my taste with some limited cranberry note. Taste is also quite spicy with a light cranberry taste that doesn't really fit well. Full body with average carbonation and light phenol of alcohol which I could do without. Not properly balance and not a beer that I would see myself having too often.
