Pours like coke, looks like coke, tastes like.. Not coke. Tastes more like a vomit-like mix of coke (and not in a good way, is there a good way?). Fizzy to pour, totally flat with no visible head afterwards. Dark, slightly malty and putrid. There is nothing more to say about this beer, sadly.

This ale poured a black colour with a nice dense, foamy, tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of roasted malt, caramel, ripe fruit and coffee. First taste was serious on the roasted side, slightly thin but the flavour makes up for it. Slightly smokey with flavours of caramel and coffee bean. Finish was burnt and slightly bitter. Very good, reminds me of the Stone Hammer Dark from F & M Brewery in Guelph, Ontario, Canada

(Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere de couleur cuivre avec un tres mince collet un peu collant. Arome de raisins, alcohol. Gout de blé, amandes et raisins.

nice maltiness in the aroma, lots of caramel, and toffee, with a huge sweet amlt. Flvour is sweet, and again very malty. not a bad ale, but not great, its pretty one dimensional.

Deep amber in colour, thin beige coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is toasty with some toffee, nuts and light malts. The flavour is a bit on the watery side, thin, very light roast, moderate sweetness. Incredibly empty mouthfeel, thin body, mild carbonation. Finishes thin, quick and watery.

Totally lifeless and empty, very plain. I hate buying beers like this. Absolutely no originality in this beer.

341ml bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on December 11, 2007.
No date.
