| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 29, 2007 Sample at C’est What? fall fest. Nice rich brown colour, with a fruity aroma. Taste is of sweet malts, fruit and toffee, but the body lets the drink down by being on the watery side. TheJester (705), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 18, 2007 341 mL bottle. Deep honey brown with a nice, lasting head. Smells (home brew) malty, with dried apple and brown sugar notes. Taste is mild, dominated by malt. Slight hops bitterness. Body is a little watery. Not bad. I’d like to try it on tap. mabel (2590), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hazy, dark brown amber body with a medium-lasting head. Dark fruity malt continues in flavour with some wheat and some nut. Medium body. Good blend of tastes.

Pours woody brown, low carbonation with small of white head.
Sweet toffee malt, slightly toasty darker accents, fruity finish.
Medium light bodied, harsh short burst of carbonation. Off fruity character in the middle. Short, thin finish with slightly medicinal overtones.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 16, 2007 true pours like t a soft drink, very dark sweet malts nose. Very thin body which is not like the nose leads you to believe, kinda syrupy MarkoR (224), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 3, 2007 Not very good. Taste like a diluted watery version of Guiness to which a few litres of sparkling water or coca-cola was added. There you have it, my impression! chainman (104), Ontario, Canada
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Mar 15, 2007 I never usually read the ratings before I try the beer, it seems like I’m in for a heck of a time here...other rates are correct, this poured like coca-cola...I’m guessing the carbonation is a bit assisted here. Smells like chocolate, dark fruits, no complaints here! Taste - not as bad as I’ve been led to believe, but nothing spectacular. It’s strange how a beer can be thin in body yet syrupy at the same time, but this one does it...tastes like an ambitious homebrewer struck out on his own and opened a brewery. I respect the ambition, but this beer needs some work. The taste is fine, but a more substantial and natural-feeling carbonation would have to happen before I could recommend this. Ultimately, there are far better darks out there. crushinat0r (227), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Mar 6, 2007 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.
