| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2007 On tap at BeerBistro. Absolutely pristine presentation with malty biscuit and toffee, bitterness is settled into the overall warm flavour profile. Deep beautiful color and soft malty aroma.There’s nothing wrong with this beer and for an Ontario beer (a scarce MILD no less!) there is a little bit of real expression going on so God love these fine poeple.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2007 Updated: Jan 29, 2008On tap at Volo. Not as good as other milds I’ve had, but a fine example nonetheless, and considering their rarity in these parts its a real treat. Dark amber body with a sweet aroma. Malty flavors at the fore, with caramel and coffee. Low level of bitterness. Like other people have said, this makes a great session beer. DougShoemaker (2856), Toronto, Canada

Hint of chocolate nose, caramel,hazy brown, small tan head. Taste is a gorgeous choco/malt combo, caramel as well.
Light bodied, sweet, bitter, incredibly well balanced. Entirely too easy to drink. (Rated this on my second pint of eight) Lovely, just lovel, perfect session ale. Kudoes Rob Crieghton! Hyde (21), Toronto (Don Mills), Ontario, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 26, 2007 Growler from the brewery.
A: Deep mahogany, off-white/light-tan head, not a lot of retention but it leaves some lace.
S: Dark toffee, caramel, dark fruit and a light spicing.
T: Dark toffee, chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, dark fruit, figs, orange zest, some mineral flavour, balanced bitterness.
M: Residual sugar yeilds a pleasant, moderate body (impressive for its strength), yet the finish is still crisp & relatively dry.
D: Very drinkable. HogTownHarry (4000), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2007 Draught. At Volo. Deep, clear chestnut, with an average creamy lasting beige head. Nutty roast malt aroma, caramel/molasses, and some dry hops. Taste - same - deep roast, coffee beans, dry herbal hops - and of course pretty much no alcohol. Decent body, farily lively carbonation, slightly acidic, and a nice bitter/carbonized linger. Excellent session brew, , I’ve had porters less roasty and fresh than this. glip (21), Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Pints from Castle on King, enjoyed the malt flavours - coffee, slight caramel. Subdued aromas of the same, with just the low background hopping appropriate to the style, imho. A nice mild, and a great session beer.
