May 22, 2009 Bottle. Dark copper with a thick mocha head with great retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is nuts, with roasted malt and a touch of wood. Flavor is maltyer than the aroma with roasted malt, some hops, woodand a slight touch of nuts. Bitter finish. Medium body with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.

Mar 13, 2009 Bottle. This pours amber brown with a half inch, off white head with large, disappearing bubbles. There is wood, caramel and a distant nuttiness in the aroma. I taste plenty of roasted nuts, caramel malt giving way to smoke and dryness in a medium finish.

Mar 8, 2009 Off the top of my head, I believe this is the best dark beer brewed in Ontario. At least the best I’ve had.
