OKBeer (1106), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada May 12, 2004 Dark amber colour with a frothy off-white head. Fruity, nutty, and toffee aroma. Toffee and earthy hop initial flavours, fruity in the background throughout, and a slight nuttiness in the bitter finish. Medium to full bodied and slightly warming. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 3, 2004 Clear, bright copper colour with a small off-white head. Full, fresh aroma of toasty malt and aromatic hops. Body is light and refreshing, with a strong hop bitterness well balanced by a caramel malt background. Damn good. beanmedic (323), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada May 24, 2004 Tried this one on tap at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, ON. The kind of beer to sit by a fireplace and sip. Smells fruity, and has nice caramel flavours. Slightly bitter finish. DougShoemaker (2619), Toronto, Canada Feb 25, 2004 Malt, hops, and a nuttiness in the aroma, copper, small toffee head, good lace as well. Pronounced hoppy flavour, malt undertones, a nutty, woody quality, hints of caramel. Well balanced, wonderful mouthfeel, fine bitter finish. Fabulous, hats off to Ken Woods! radiomgb (1781), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Apr 7, 2004 Deep amber in colour. Aroma was quite hoppy, floral and fresh, slight sweetness. Flavour was very smooth, great balance, woody, lots of hops and caramel sweetness and fruity. Finishes with a wonderful medium bitterness. Very well made.
