Microbrasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires Dixième Sour / Wild Ale at 10% ABV (C$15.82 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 750 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 19-Mar-2016)
Appearance: hazy, nearly murky deep amber-brown with one finger of light beige head, excellent retention and patchy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: dark cherries, chocolate, woody, yeast, light vanilla. (8/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate tart, light bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry tart finish. (4/5)
First time I’ve ever had a beer that called itself an “Imperial Kriek”. Reminiscent of Black Forest Cake, with a little funky wood in the finish. Alcohol is nearly non-existent, which is a little surprising given the double digit ABV. Another decent Belgian from Quebec. (16/20)
8/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
