  • Rochefort Trappistes 6
    rated 4.2 13 years ago

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 8

    Another outstanding trappist ale. Colour - medium red brown, clear edges, medium sized tab cap. Aroma - dark malt, sugar, bread, plums. Mouthfeel - Medium bodied. Flavour - sweet dark fruit, yeast, sugar, malt. Not as complex as the 10, but the same flavours. Overall - Excellent!

  • Rochefort Trappistes 8

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

    An outstanding trappist ale. Colour - medium to dark red brown, clear edges, huge tan cap. Aroma - dark malt, sugar, bread, plums and spices. Mouthfeel - Full bodied. Flavour - sweet dark fruit, yeast, sugar, and dark malt. Overall - outstanding! The three beers were quite similar (as their website states it's the exact same beer fermented different lengths that shouldn't be a surprise) and all hid their alcohol very well.

  • St. Bernardus Abt 12
    rated 5.0 13 years ago

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 10 | Flavor: 10 | Overall: 10

    A beautiful beer, near perfection. Colour - dark red brown, murky, red edges, generous foamy brown cap. Aroma - dark malt, candy sugar, yeast, plums, and raisins. Mouthfeel - Full bodied. Flavour - A sweet elixer of yeast, spices, fruit, and malt. Overall - outstanding! If it wasn't $10-$12/bottle - this would be my new favourite!

  • Chimay Première (Red)
    rated 4.2 13 years ago

    Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    An almost outstanding trappist ale. Colour - medium red brown, murky body, clear edges, huge foamy tan cap. Aroma - dark malt, sugar, yeast, plums. Mouthfeel - Full bodied. Flavour - sweet dark fruit, yeast, sugar, malt but with a bittering dry finish. Overall - almost outstanding - would be better if the finish wasn't so dry and bitter!

    Wow! Colour - hazy gold colour, huge generous rocky white cap. Aroma - yeast, citrus, spices, and some malt. Mouthfeel - Full bodied, but could be fuller. Flavour - peppry spices and yeast backed by notes of citrus and malt. Overall - wow! I could drink these all day (and evening).

  • Creemore Springs Premium Lager

    Fast becoming my favourite lager. Colour - clear, golden orange, white frothy head. Aroma - grainy malt, floral hops. Mouthfeel - Full bodied. Flavour - well balanced between the grass malt, the floral hops, and the weak fruitish hints. Overall - An excellent lager.

    THis is yet another great offering by the Creemore Brewery. Colour - pale gold, clear, white head. Aroma - cereal malt, floral hops. Mouthfeel - medium bodied. Flavour - biscuity malt, some sweetness, and a hop finish. Overall - I would recommend any Creemore product.
