650ml bottle - lots of stuff going on with this label, including a reference to a 'Doctor Bart', of apparent nuclear orientation. Also, 'Big Bold Begbie' sounds like a Stampede Wrestling character from back in the day.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium red-brick amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some rearing sea-beast profile lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, muddled dark orchard stone fruity notes, brown sugar syrup, a bit of indistinct children's candy sweetness, and very tame earthy, weedy, and musty floral green hop bitters. The taste is more bready and doughy caramel malt, some lesser biscuity toffee, a mixed melon and domestic citrus fruitiness, faint earthy spice, and more weak leafy, musty, and herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its mundane-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, with only a touch of emerging booziness making a small dent in the proceedings here. It finishes with a sweet jizz-fest all over the place, which really isn't as off-putting as I might have just made it appear.
Overall, this comes across as not a bad boozed-up malty ale, with nothing much more than that to recommend it as such. Easy enough to put back, especially given the heady (I was expecting to say shitty, but, nah, not really) day that I've had. Buh bye, Sherbrooke, and hello, my dear son Finn!
