jercraigs (6477) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 14, 2013
2013-04-12. Ruby brown body with a small beige Head 3+ Very dry aroma with notes of roasty toasty malt. Flavour is similar, modest dry malt, sweeter, lightly nutty. Whispers of strawberry Ovaltine in the background may be my imagination? Average to light bodied palate is smooth. 3+ Decent but not particularly exciting. Can shared by HogTownHarry

goozen (2313) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - APR 13, 2013
Bottle 0,35ltr: Dark brown coloured brew with an roasty taste and hints of caramel, coffee and citrus and the finish is quite bitter. Very good Brown Ale to smoke cigar with it, but i don’t smoke only drink beers.

HogTownHarry (5638) - Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, CANADA - APR 12, 2013
My can. Brick red, small diminishing beige head. Smells a little wee heavy-ish, but quite herbal - tastes less sweet - average body, weak carbonation ... just okay. hey, it’s a brown ale.

tom10101 (1055) - Quebec, CANADA - APR 9, 2013
Can (12 oz). Thanks to mathieuc for this one! Deep brown with a huge beige head, low retention, some lacing. Aroma of raisins, toffee, nuts and slight acidic presence. Taste is slightly to moderately sweet with raisins, toffee, nuts, slight herbal presence and slight earthy/spicy finish. Light body. Slightly dry. I don’t get the silky mouthfeel of the beer description. Not very complex, but quite drinkable for the style and too "hazelnut forward". Could use more hops.

bytemesis (1413) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - APR 8, 2013
Bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a medium creamy beige head that dissipates slowly with good lacing. Aroma is caramel and seven up. Flavor is malty caramel, bit of roast, light sweet, no bitterness. Medium body, kind of creamy mouthfeel. Very carbonated, distracts from flavor.

czar (2232) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - APR 7, 2013
can from mathieuc, thanks! pours almost clear dark copper with a very small off-white head, no retention. fruity, nutty - caramelized nuts, grassy, some plain caramel, very hint of acidity, some pepper, some sweetness, not quite balanced by grassy-spicy hops. earthiness. soft carbonation, light body - watery. nothing special - probably wouldn’t neither bother for special versions of this brew..

UDBeernut (868) - Near Buffalo, New York, USA - APR 7, 2013
Can shared with wife during lunch pours murky tan with a stiff tan head. Nose of toffee and nut. Taste is sweet based with toffee, caramel, and roast. Nut follows on the finish. Body is medium and creamy.

michaelinwa (454) - Bothell, Washington, USA - APR 6, 2013
Can from trade with Tricyclist. Brown pour, medium and dense brown head. Aroma is very light, roasty, nutty, bit of carmel. Taste is also light as I would expect from a beer in this style. Lightly roasty and nutty for the most part. Mouthfeel is thin. The style is generally one that I enjoy, and this beer does not do anything to change that. Still glad to tried another brew from this impressive brewery.
