L'Alchimiste Bock De Joliette

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 5

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a medium foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of overcooked vegetables is dominating with a thin medium sweet malt profile. Taste is also dominated by DMS with some very light sweet malt. Body is definitely too thin for the style and carbonation is quite low.

Pours with excellent carbonation, immediate head formation (from inside the bottle even) A mucky orangy appearence. Great malt presence. Smell is rather delictable. This beeing my second beer of this brewery I can see they like their hops as well. They know how to use them, great aroma. Flavour is a la Rogue Dead Guy, this makes a pretty good clone! A lot of hop bitterness up front. Mouthfeel a little dry but not as much when considering the style. Some wood like character, trace notes of dried fruits (plum mostly, a tad cider-esque) Flavour backdroped to caramalyzed malt/amber malts. Good foundations but some room for improvement. I highly enjoyed it, prefered to the Bieropholie. This is no doubt an excellent bock and this brewery seems to be doing good things.

After having the Bock Émissaire from Bièropholie, I am trying this one. Bought at the Dépanneur de la Rive in Cap-Rouge, Quebec. Pours a lighter colour that is amber and cloudy, with a high level of carbonation. The off-white head is very creamy, big and ever-lasting. Some lace is left, but not much. The nose is quite hoppy with floral notes. Mouthfeel is between watery and syrupy. The taste is pretty mild, almost watered down. Some slight caramel and hop. Not too bad, but prefered the Bock Émissaire, because this one is lacking in the flavour department.

Poured an amber color,tiny head with no lacing...Aroma is quite impressive it's sweet malt all over...Mouthfeel it's light carbonation leaving all the smoothness to the malt...Flavor we feel the right balance between malt and hopps,resulting in fruity notes...That beer to me taste a lot like the Bass ale and to me it's great...

1/2 liter stubby from Joannette Metro. Poured a gorgeous dark orange-amber with a great frothy 2 finger off white cap. Moderate carbonation. Nose is pure malts...some Munich and caramel and some pale hell malts over light musty German hops...smells delicious! Mouth feel is medium bodied...smooth but the surprise is the malts are well balanced off with some saaz, Hallertau, Hersbrucker and Spalter hops deliver herbal aroma and some bittering to the layered substantial sweet bready malts. There is a very close flavor profile that parallels Creemore lager....maybe this is why I like this bock...it's just a tad heartier and sweeter
