411 | XO Beer | France | Biere de Garde | 3.8
Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 10 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 7 August 17, 2007<br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 125 John Street)<br> 330ml bottle<br> 8.00% ABV <br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $14.25<br> The beer poured into a tulip glass a beautiful reddish brown colour with almost no head. Like Biegaman, my bottle was also marked as 8%. The aroma was cognac, malt, alcohol and burnt butterscotch. The mouthfeel was very very smooth with a medium body and some mild carbonation. The taste was very heavy on the cognac, and a little hint of fruit. I did feel the alcohol burn, and for a beer with an 8% abv, that's not good in my book. A little pricey at $14.25/bottle as well when I can visit some other places and get an Abbey Quadrupel for less. |
