Les Trois Mousquetaires La Festive

I’m not a big fan of this one. It pours a nice dark brown with a nice head. The aroma has a nice nuttiness and a touch of roast and a bit of hoppiness in the back. However, the flavor has a harsh bitterness and astringency that really harms the flavor of what could have been a tasty brown ale.

Brewed by Elie Roy, winner of the "March in Montreal 2005". Pours a deep brown colour, that light can be seen through, transmitting red highlights. Good creamy tanned head with decent retention and very slimy lacing. Small carbonation that is slow. Floral nose with hop, molasse, caramel and slight nut. Nice, not watery, mouthfeel, almost silky and tarty. Good powerful amount of bitterness throughout, with notes of chocolat that would be 95% bitter. Molasse is present, with roasted malts, and bitterness staying in the aftertaste. Tastes like a stout and looks more like a porter. Quite a good beer, and better than any Trois Mousquetaire brew I've had before.

The brewery is calling that beer american brown ale ???No such style on Beerpal...Anyway it doesn't matter this is a great beer,a very robust one a way more complex than the usual brown ale...Poured a deep brown with some red hint colour,burnt coffee aroma,nice head with a good retention...Taste a bit like a dark ale with molasse hint,hops presence is also quite there,this is definitely full bodied and a vrey complex one...That beer has been brewed by an amateur who won a contest organised by "The Canadian amateur brewers association" CABA and also the "MontrealAlers" and l'"Institut de la bière"...So "Les trois mousquetaires microbrewery"let the winner use their professional installation to brew that great "nectar",i'm sad to say though,it's only limited production...
