1136 Henderson Brewing / BrewDog The Ugly Canada Belgian Strong Ale 3.4

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

473ml can &#60;br&#62; 8.40&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Canned On: September 21, 2018 &#60;br&#62; LCBO #411 &#40;Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge &#47; Wellesley&#41;&#60;br&#62; November 13, 2018&#60;br&#62; &#36;3.70&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a translucent mahogany colour with a light brown creamy cap which lingers. The aroma is yeast, sweet candy sugar, brown sugar, and roasted malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is a miss for me as it falls kind of flat. The dark fruit and yeasty flavours are there that are typical of dark Belgian Strong ales, but they’re weak, almost in a watered down sense. Looks good, smells good, tastes weak.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The aroma was fruit juice &#40;orange and grapefruit&#41; and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was akin to fruit juice with alcohol, with the juice tones being grapefruit and passion fruit. Not a fan of the style as they are more like alcoholic fruit juice than beer.
