Blasphemies (45), Ontario, Canada Mar 30, 2008 BOTTLE: Looks like a glass of coke when poured out. Not a bad smell to it, malty sweet. Taste a little disappointing, kind of weak, roasty with a bit of bitter. I had a sip in the past of it on a draught and thought it was decent, but I have to rate the bottle this time.
daniel0017 (232), Ontario, Canada Sep 29, 2008 341 mL bottle: Dark brown roasted chestnut color tan bubbly head. Aroma is heavy, reminiscent of wet hay. Flavor wants to be complex but falls short and has vinegary mouthfeel. Good beer, plain no pretenses. Tessic (383), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Aug 20, 2008 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 french tickler (505), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Aug 13, 2008 On tap @ Pub Italia

Pyrozoid (189), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Aug 4, 2008 (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. robinvboyer (1047), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jun 9, 2008 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.
