2008-04-20. Dark amber body with a modest beige head. Sweet spicy aroma, underlying malt. Flavour is similar with a sweet malty base and light spice notes that linger long into the finish and aftertaste. (6+) Palate is slightly more full bodied than average, pleasantly so. Did not knock my socks off but this has just enough flavour to be interesting, and is quaffable enough to have a few of them. Possibly their best effort to date. Well done! On tap at Volo, Toronto

Sep 19, 2008 Flat-looking golden amber. Slightly spicy nose with bubblegum notes. A little light on the body with slight spiciness. OK beer, but without the body it never quite comes together.

Sep 18, 2008 Draught @ Volo, served in small tulip glass. Had ordered something else, so this was a surprise. Deep dark amber, lovely rich jewel tone, great lacing. Diacetyl unfortunately present in nose. Sour cherry aroma reminiscent of some quads. Hardly any carbonation. Interesting flavors: bready, mild, alcohol not detectable. Lots of apple and cinnamon. Delicately spiced, not like pie. A solid spice beer, good quality.

Aug 30, 2008 Tap at Volo, aug 2007. Initial impression a bit jangly with impressions of almost fake cherry flavor and spices. It smoothes and integrates into something I quite enjoy. Sour fruit, hints chocolate. Not a repeat pint for me though I appreciate such a beer in our market.

Jul 20, 2008 Spices gingery scent, hazy redish pour. Very spicy taste. An overpowering mix of flavours. Very odd beer.
