2009-08-14. Clear brown body with a tiny head. Fruity funky aroma, beets/root vegetable like notes. Flavour is fruity, cherry/beets, weird vegetal character. Slight tang and bitterness. Average palate. I think I prefer the wood version. 5/3/4/3/9 - 2.4 Trafalgar brewed keg, on tap at Black Creek

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught at C’Est What Spring Festival. Pours a hazy orange-brown with a spare diminishing off-white head. Mild aroma of lightly roasted malt and light dark fruit. Slightly watery flavour of lightly roasted malt, a bit of hops and some dark fruit. Light to average bodied. Nothing bad here, but to me, it’s quite ho-hum.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. At C’Est What Spring Fest. Slightly hazy deep copper with a decent frothy beige head (3+). Roasy, slightly creamy aroma, mild, dry and herbal. Nutty, slightly burnt caramel flavour, cereal grain and quite herbal - I think I was the only one to actually like this beer. Average body, solid (almost too much) carbonation, with a deep roast/slightly burnt linger. Damned good, if you ask me.
