Canette 473ml. De couleur brune-ambrée foncée et claire. Nez malté de caramel légèrement rôti, léger de noix et de chocolat avec des notes de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) ainsi que des traces de café et de fruits (cerises, faibles traces de raisins rouges). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes crémeuses. Notes fruitées (cerises, traces de raisins) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de caramel sucré et léger-moyen rôti avec des notes de chocolat noir et de pain grillé puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) avec un léger goût de noix grillées aux notes asséchantes ainsi que de faibles traces de café. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de rôti et de houblon herbeux avec des traces de chocolat et de fruits (moût de cerises).

Deep brown pour with a thinnish head. The aroma has a bit of deep coffeeish character over a decent malty sweetness. Fairly decent full-bodied character. There is a kiss of herbal flavour through the middle of the palate as well. A little bit of soft cocoa character as well. As far as brown ales go, it’s pretty solid stuff.

Typical nut brown ale, tastes of nuts in fact and it is quite dark. Decent taste, overall it is a good offering

On tap a mezes in Toronto. Nothing special about this beer. Might have been a bit maltier

Draught at Snooty Fox Westdale Hamilton. Pours a darkish brown, slight red tinge. Aroma of malt and nut. Tastes also of roasted malt and nut and slightly caramel. Great finish.

Pours dark brown, reddish tint visible in the light. Decent head bubbles away for a while then descends into just a film. Rather dull aroma of caramel malts. Very lively taste though. Surprisingly complex malt profile - caramel mostly, coffee in the background. Nice fruity character - cherries maybe? Kind of disappointingly thin mouthfeel. Lingering fruity/dry-bitter finish.

Cannette 500 ml. 5%. Couleur brune foncé aux reflets rougeâtres. Arômes de caramel doux et malt. En bouche, très douce, notes de caramel, cerises noires, malt grillé. Très bonne.

473 ml can from MrManning- thanks again, Len! Pours a clear, dark amber with a finger-thick off-white head. Notes of caramel malts and to a lesser degree chocolate malts, nuts, brown sugar, toast, cereal, earth, and a touch of coffee. Light-medium bodied, and a little watery for the style. Low carbonation. Sessionable brown ale.

This is a pretty decent ale. I live next to the brewery, so occasionally I’ll get a 6-pack and it keeps me pretty happy. It’s heads and shoulders above all macros, but it’s relatively light and sessionable - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing whenever I have people over.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a brief tan head. Aroma is weak, nuances of brown sugar and cocoa. Flavours are brown sugar and chocolate, pretty straightforward, with a dry oxidized finish. Average at best.
