Sweet aroma of maple and malt, with hint of chocolate, cloudy, light brown, small custard head. Taste is chocolate, with a vanilla quality, possibly from the maple, and a woodiness too. Light bodied, balanced, sweet and drying. Good.

[710-20070928] Cask @ C’est What 2007 FOSB (Toronto, ON). A little maple sweet grain aroma has some alcohol notes. Clear, dark red brown body with a small long-lasting foamy off-white head. Some maple in the flavour is mostly nut grain brown. Medium-full body. Subtle spin on a great beer to begin with, quite refreshing.

As their brewer told me, "You can have a lot of fun with a little cask." Reddish-dark brown with amazing head and waves of lacing. Mild aromas and flavours of burnt brown sugar and hazelnut. Not overwhelming, but a bit sweet. Soft creamy palate. Very good stuff.

Cask sample at C’est What’s 2007 Fall Festival of Craft Breweries. Slightly hazy brown colour. Aroma is very nice - sweet and nutty, with notes of maple and brown sugar. Soft body. Flavour has a great balance of the maple and nut brown notes - toffee, malt, maple & hops all mingle very nicely.

Cask. Brown-auburn body with a creamy tan head and lace. Aroma is quite nice - bread, burnt sugar, and toffee. Taste has kind of a strange kind of warmth? Otherwise bready with some nutty almond in a soapy palate.
C’est What, Toronto. 2007.09.28
