Jan 3, 2009 Pours a deep amber colour with a beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, raisins and earthy hops. Flavour of sweet malt, caramel and dark fruit. Rather light bodied and hoppy bitter finish.

Jan 2, 2009 Bottle at The Rake, "What company Christmas party?" session, 4th Dec 08. Mid amber and suprisingly still. Soft malt aroma. Fudgy malt and then a spreading hop bitterness to balance it. Good finish that shows off the varied hop flavours. Enjoyable stuff.

Jan 2, 2009 Nice hazy deep amber coloured body with a ruby tint and a perfect-sized tan head. Aroma of malt, raisins, nuts, pit fruit and a decent amount of alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong effervescent feeling up front with a lot of malt, some nice sweetness and quite a hop finish. Aftertaste shows a lot of malt and a decent amount of nuts - all with caramel really coming out. Overall, a good amber - definitely one of the best I’ve had from this style, but it doesn’t surprise me from this brewery - I do really enjoy their beers. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased at Willow Park Wines & Spirits in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on 01-January-2009, purchased a few days earlier.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light clear amber color ale with a small bubbly head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of dry and bitter hops with some English dry malt. Taste is also a mix betwen some dry malt with some slightly dry and bitter hops. Some presence of caramel malt would have brought sweetness to offset some of the dryness. Carbonation is almost non-existent with a light body. Not the most interesting beer out there.
