JulienHuxley (165), Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, Canada Oct 24, 2009 Bottle @ Volo. Dark pour, this beer is all chewy caramel malts in the aroma, very little hopiness in this beer. Taste is the same chewy caramel, kind of a silty mouthfeel, very flat; cream ale like. Boutip (2329), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 20, 2009 Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of fruity ester with some light toffee malt. Taste is also dominated by light fruity ester with notes of toffee and caramel malt. Body is about average with good carbonation. I thought this one really packed lots of character while maintaining good balance. riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Sep 26, 2009 Bottle shared by scrizz at his birthday bash. His dogs name is Grover. He was on the porch. The nose on this one has some light tart tangy notes underneath some roast, and light smoke even. A little nutty. Murky brown with a thin foamy beige head. light chocolate, roasted nuts, and a soft tangy flavor. Light bodied, but flavorful. Good. bvc (226), Kenmore, Washington, USA Sep 26, 2009 500ml via scrizzly the nizzle. Dark brown with grayish head. Nose is plum sweet with some roasty, a touch smokey, malt and some brown sugar. Thin body and good amount of sour twang to it. Not sure if this infected or if this is supposed to be this way. I don’t have much experience with milds.

A little smokey and nutty with maybe some hints of dark fruit or something of the sort. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Aug 4, 2009 Bottle, fresh from the brewery.
