Scotch Ale Tourbé
Brasserie Artisanale La Canaille

Darker amber color with a haze. The head is so brief, I've seen sodas that last longer. It doesn't even leave rim bubbles. Naturally, there's no lacing either.

There's a smokiness to the smell. That and band-aids, which is distracting at best.

Looks like I'll be dumping this beer shortly. The band-aid presence (likely from chlorophenols) is too strong to allow me to finish the beer. In the deep background, I do pick up some malt sugars and darker biscuit-like chewiness. The body is watery and the carbonation is low. The aftertaste...let's just say I need something to clear my palate.

Clearly, something went wrong with this batch--it reminds me of a homebrew where the brewery lost track of the sanitation. Hopefully, this review can be tossed when other batches are tried by BA members. If the brewer doesn't fix it, I would assume my review might even be on the high side.
