650ml bottle poured into Sam Adams pint glass. From notes.
Pours a deep amber red with a thin ring of tan head that leaves sparse lace as it recedes.
Smells of candy apple, banana bread with drizzled caramel malt, brown sugar and cold apple pie.
Tastes of caramel tart, mollases, applesauce, banana chips and dusted black pepper.
Feels soft and mild. Medium bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes off-sweet.
Verdict: Recommended. Tasty and interesting enough to enjoy trying.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - this is apparently Yukon's dubbel, with some cider thrown in for shits and giggles and whatnot.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick amber colour, with three fat-ass fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and sort of creamy tan head, which leaves some streaky eroded limestone cave lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and grainy caramel malt, muddled earthy spices (though ginger eventually seeps through into my consciousness), browned apples, a bit of wavering yeastiness, further dark orchard fruity notes, and some very gentle leafy and faintly perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is more semi-sweet bready and doughy caramel malt, a ginger, clove, and white pepper dust spiciness, baked apples, a retreating earthy yeast character, some additional plum and raisin dark fruitiness, and more understated leafy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly tame in their apparently insouciant frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and essentially smooth, with a nice airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes well off-dry, with the mixed fruitiness and sturdy malt holding court.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable and easy to drink version of the style, with the apple cider manifesting in more of a base apple manner than the expected fruity alcoholic kick. At any rate, as the late-summer rain smashes the lingering leaves off of the trees outside, I am certainly glad to have another pint of this ready to go!
