Jun 22, 2008 A very refreshing session beer. From a growler from the brewery. Nice rocky head that slowly recedes and a deep brown colour. Aroma of mild coffee, toast, molasses and almonds. Medium body with soft carbonation with an average length, dry finish.

May 24, 2008 Growler courtesy of matt7215. Pours brown with a mahogany tint and a nice creamy off white head. Smells of roasted nuts, some cherry like hints, touches of earthy malt. Tastes tangy with some chocolate, tea, some cherries, hints of dry malt, some spice, a touch of light bitterness. Full bodied and refreshing.

May 9, 2008 On tap at Volo, shared with a friend. Nose was very heavy in olives and toast. Flavour followed similary with the addition of smoke. A fairly enjoyable beer.

Apr 24, 2008 Tap @ Victory. Soft, sweet, somewhat nutty, with a really strong berry flavour to it. Mild and watery, which is kind of the intention. Very tasty for a mild, although I thought the fruity flavours were a bit much.

Apr 8, 2008 Tap at Volo. Deep brown beer topped with a thick creamy tan head. Aroma is light and nutty. A bit of fresh toast and a bit of herbal/woody hops. A lightly hazelnutty flavour, a soft earthy chocolate character and just a hint of moderate bitterness. As it warms, a bit more chocolate comes forward, but it’s not sweet, but is more cocoaish. There is a bit of light plumminess and a whiff of molasses as well. It’s quite appealing and is a tasty brew.
