Feb 22, 2009 341 ml bottle courtesy of a trade with WeeHeavySD. Pours a hazy dark brown with a thin-moderate off-white head that faded after two sips and left very little lace. The aroma is sweet malt and overripe, actually I’ll call it rotting, fruit. A bit off-putting actually, and it had me wondering if I really wanted to take a full sip. Thankfully, the flavor is nowhere near as sweet as the aroma suggests. There is ample sweet malt up front, and this is followed by a wash of dry hops. Moderate bitterness at the finish and quite dry. Probably not something I would look to revisit.

Feb 15, 2009 341 ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown colour. Very tall off-white head
that clings to the glass. Bold hoppy aroma with lots of sweet malts
in the nose. Almost syrupy aroma. Crisp grassy flavours balanced by
an appropriate amount of malts. Peach-like malty
flavours. Medium-bodied. Lots of flavour, but I suspect that the
beer is slightly oxidized.

Feb 14, 2009 11.5 oz bottle, pours dark brown with haze. My first from this brewery. Aroma of raisins and some sweet malt. Tasted like an aged IPA or Barleywine. This must have sat on the shelf for awhile? I just bought it. Not much hop at all, some bitterness. Maybe its supposed to be like this. But it’s a bit pricey ($7)for the quality.

Feb 6, 2009 11.5oz bottle. Thick, brown-red color. Like others have noted, this didn’t taste fresh, some off aromas and flavors sort of taint the overall effect. I am a huge fan of DdC beers and was very let down by this one. I’d expect it to be much better in Montreal. Some soapy, piny, lingering hop presence. Some amber malt tastes, and an intense amber malt aroma, give it a unique touch. Good, but not great.

Jan 31, 2009 0.34 l bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Amber color with creamy head. Sweet aroma with thick flowery, lemony, piney and grassy hops. Bittersweet honeyish, grassy and hoppy flavor with fruity-lemony hops and hint of soap. A bit too sweet and soapy for me. This one did not taste very fresh.
