St. Peters Strong Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Comes in the usual flask-shaped glass bottle that St-Peter's brews come in. Pours a clean light copper colour with limited carbonation. The head is nice and creamy, a slight off-white, hangs a while and leaves great rings of lace. The nose is interesting with some fruit, some grain, some caramel and some nuts. The mouthfeel is quite smooth. The taste as well is smooth, until the aftertaste, and then, some bitterness starts coming out of its hole. And it stays a little while. Very nice hops I must say. Not as weird as other beers I have had from this brewery. I like the balance of this brew, and would have it again.

Amber colour, small beige head. Plum, alcohol (!) and sweet malts in aroma. Flavour is sweet malts, candy sugar, plum and other fruits. Aftertaste is long sweetness and some malts. A bit lagery.

Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a medium head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of floral English hops (Golding) is quite interesting with some good malt backbone. Taste is a nice mix between some dry malt and some floral hops, which provide a refreshing bitter, finish. Body is a bit light and less filtration would have provided better enjoyment of my part. This beer was one of the better offering that I had a chance to drink from this brewery.

500ml "medicine bottle" : Poured a delighfully bbrilliant orange-amber ale with a sticky-rocky cap into my mug. Aromas are subtle: light grassy tones, grain husk and sweetness. Decent malt spine, medium bodied, silken mouth feel and a strange bitter-sweet characater. Up front a good dose of thick malts then chaos happens.... spears of hop bitterness slice through the malts then retreat and then re-attack... and so on and so on until the finish where we really don’t know yet if this has decided to be a bitter or a malty ale...cetainly not a "strong ale"...this one is an enigma????

Bottle. Clear amber colour with a slim off-white head. Nice malt and caramel aroma. Same for the taste with some yeast, some spice and a bitter finish. Medium bodied, low carbonation. It isn't strong enough to merit the name, but it is good nontheless.
