Aug 4, 2009 Bottle, fresh from the brewery. This is a brown coloured ale with a reddish hue. The head is tan brown, creamy, fast disappearing. Aroma of toasted nuts, grain, molasses, toffee, prunes. Mouthfeel is light. The flavour is fairly smokey with buttery caramel, hazelnut, caramel, apricot, a hint of tobacco.

Aug 30, 2007 Volo On Tap.
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!

Nov 3, 2007 Brown in colour, small bubbly beige coloured head, no lacing. The aroma is quite toasty, a surprising amount of malt, light toffee sweetness, some light chocolate. The flavour is again quite toasty, mildly sweet, some fruit and light chocolate. Very mild mouthfeel, light body, light carbonation. Finishes quite mild, lightly sweet, lingering. An excellent session ale for sure, this packs more flavour then some of the "big" beers out there.

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.

Sep 18, 2008 500mL bottle, bottled Sept 11, 2008. Pours a bright, clear, dark amber-brown color; thin light-tan head with patchy lacing. Tea, dried fruits, and very light caramel in the aroma; some pleasant earthy and citrus bitterness on the perimeter. Medium mouthfeel: chocolate maltiness, roast, and light nuttiness; very crisp, lightly hopped (minerals, and earthiness), making for a highly sessionable and satisfying mild. Very good rendition. Medium finish: nuttiness, toasty malts, and touches of breadiness; the nutty notes last for a while.

Dec 29, 2008 500 ml, bottled 12/1/08. Clear garnet brown with a smooth beige head. Nose is nougat and sour raisin; earthy and grassy. Subtle yet delightful. Crisp, medium light with tight, sudsy crab. Taste is lemon and lime pith with hints of honey and dried apricots. Finishes clean, dry and nutty. A refreshing change of pace.
