2009-08-01. Brown body with a modest tan head. (3+) Very earthy malty aroma. (6+) Similar flavour, very earth malt, mild bitterness, hints at smoke. Average palate. Not to my taste for some reason. Just didn’t work for me today. Growler at BCTC 2009

Growler at BCTC 2009. Pours a medium brown with a thinning head. Aroma is nutty, toast, kind of earthy with leather, light nutty chocolate and bittersweet cocoa powder. Flavor is a bit weak- some toffee sweetness, nutty chocolate, earth and a light burnt roast finish- a bit thin.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate brown color with an off white head. The nose is slight caramel, bread, and a bit of nuttiness. Taste is mostly slight caramel with a bit of toasted bread. Medium body with good carbonation. Drinks quite well and although it’s a bit plain, it’s definitely a well-made brew.
Serving type: on-tap

Deep brown pour with a hint of red a foamy off white head and lace. Deep brown sugar and caramel malt. Sweet caramel malt with a light bitter. Medium bodied with a bit of aggressive carbonation. Light medium bitter finish pretty solid.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From growler. Pours a clear light brown body with a reddish tinge and a slightly off-white fizzy head. Nutty, lightly roasty nose with some cocoa powder. The flavor is dry and nutty with a light grainy note, pretty well done for a Brown Ale. Light bitterness on the finish balances things out. Light to medium bodied with light soft carbonation. Overall pretty nice really.

Double dry-hopped firkin @ Arundel Mills on Firkin Friday. Pours a murky, orange-brown color; thin, light-tan head with patchy lacing; some pulpy particulates. Very pleasant, orange-y citrus, resiny / juicy / zesty hop character in the aroma; some very soft brown sugar and caramel notes underneath; nothing sticky here. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: chewy / resiny oranges, solid zesty mineral / citrus hoppiness; pleasant, very soft malt core (brown sugar, caramel), very excellent and drinkable stuff. Nicely dry-hopped. Lengthy, softly bitter finish: chewy oranges, resiny citrus, some breadiness and caramel. Yum.
