2012-01-15. Hazy dark orange amber Body, small white head. 3+ Rich barleywine like character has an enjoyable melange of sweet caramel, malt, bitter hops and toasty malt kisses. 7+ Aroma has similar malt forward character but milder. 7++ Smooth medium to full bodied palate. 4+ Dangerously drinkable. On tap at Brewmarket, Toronto

Bottle from the brewery. Very boozy and hoppy (80 IBU). Very tasty. Old ale is a misnomer, almost sarcastic. The malt is there and then unleashes hop flavour with lots of tropical fruit, pineapple.Thick, dangerously drinkable.A must try.

[4251-20120115] Tap. Light peaty malt grain aroma. Hazy, brown orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Bitter malty sweet orange peel flavour. Full boozy body. Tasty, drinkable, very boozy. (7/4-/7/4/15) 3.7
(Brewery Market @ Wychwood Barns, Toronto, ON)

A hazy light orange with mountains of head. In the words of the brewer "this is grapefruit soup!". This was a revelation for me and my companions - the most dangerously drinkable high alcohol beer I’d ever had. Incredibly fruity - huge malt character. Some caramel thrown in if I remember right. Grapefruit hop aroma. Thick, chewy mouthfeel.
