June 21, 2007 The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 375ml bottle <br> 4.50% ABV <br> $15.35<br> My particular beer was a Liefmans Frambozenbier, 375ml, 4.5% abv, and wrapped in a paper wrapper.

330ml bottle <br> 6.9% ABV (as written on bottle) <br> Smokeless Joe (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> July 23, 2007 <br> Re-Rate: Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> Re-Rated September 25, 2007 <br> The beer was bottled on November 16, 2006 and was 6.9% ABV (as opposed to 6.2%). The beer poured a cloudy brownish gold with a head that lasted through the entire trappist glass. The carbonation was very evident in the glass. The aroma was spicy and fruity, not as yeasty as an Abbey Quadrupel. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with medium carbonation. The taste was not to my liking. The upfront taste was alright, but there was a lime-like bitterness on the back of the tongue. A very good beer, but not a great beer for me. Re-Rated on May 28, 2008 with no changes.

330ml bottle <br> 9.0% ABV <br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 125 John Street)<br> July 16, 2007 <br> $11.80 <br> I loved the label.........I'm not a religious person, but the label was beautiful. Anyway, the beer poured a dark brown into the glass with a half inch head that lasted throughout the experience. The aroma was very yeasty with some hints of pears. It was silky smoth and full-bodied on the tongue with hints of carbonation. The flavour was outstanding...malty, yeasty, with a tinge of sweetness. Just a smidgen below the St. Bernardus Abt 12.........but not much.

330ml bottle <br> 11.3% ABV <br> The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> July 12, 2007 <br> Unfortunately I can't rate it as high as the St. Bernardus Abt 12 I had last night. Maybe had I tried them in the reverse order things may have been different. Anyway, this poured a dark reddish-brown with a small head (the first contrast with SS). The head disappeared rather quickly. The aroma was very similar with robust bread and malt tones as well as plums. It felt great on the tongue with a full-bodied feel. As for the taste, I'm not sure where it failed when compared to the SB, but it just failed to measure up. Possibly the higher alcohol content which I noticed more in this brew.

Well, try it I did. It poured a dark brown into the glass with a small head that lasted throughout the entire beer. The aroma was thick with bread and hops, and some fruit. It was silky smooth on the tongue with a full-bodied feel. The taste.........unlike any beer I've tasted before. There was bread, and malt...and hops. The alcohol was not noticeable on the tongue.....but I felt it going down....and this is one damn fine beer!
