Has a Cameron's aroma too it that reminds me of their other products. Dark amber body, with an off white head. Flavour is malty with some pleasant bitterness. Average, but enjoyable. Could benefit from just a bit more of everything.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2006 Sampled from a bottle, Winking Judge Spring Fest 05. Very dark brown pour. Sweet burn notes in aroma. Heavy malt taste in alight bodied brown ale, also had an odd hint of a root beer like flavour - couldn’t quite place it, may have been just an excess "nutty" peanut shell taste, but it did throw me off. Having said that, I didn’t find this watery at all as others have noted here and on Bartowel and I thought it was a decent brown ale.

Body- Dark brown, thin mocha coloured head. Medium carbonation. Aromas are predominantly nutty, with mild malt and cocoa hints as well. Taste is mild coffee, nutty, very light chocolate, and sweet malt. Nice. Slightly watery finish, medium bodied. Another good beer from Cameron’s!

draught. this was a lot different than some other brown ales I’ve had. deep mahogany, red tinge. light perfumey aroma. very sweet. meh, not too great.

UPDATED: MAY 4, 2005 Sampled at C’est What’s Spring 2005 Festival of Small Breweries. Slight murky ruby-bown colour. Nice aroma - good chocolate malt character with a bit of brown sugar. Similar malty sweetness in the flavour, a but of smoke, and a fresh hop finish. Very nice.

Clear dark amber colour, not as dark as I usually expect from the style. Aroma is muted, with some toastiness and a bit of hops. Body is on the thin side. Flavour is well-balanced, with a bit of chocolate around the middle and mellow hops in the finish, but it lacks character.

Pours dark red with a short tawny head. Aroma is earthy, burnt sugar and a trace of maple. Tinned mushroom and musty. Everything is very soft. Some tobacco, tar and rubber. Burnt green hop in the finish. Odd.

Aroma of sweet malt and a hint of chocolate, mahogany in colour with a tiny toffee head. Flavour is bitter malt and some nutty tones. Sweetish, pleasantly bitter, medium bodied. Pretty good.
