I tried this beer on February 14, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a reddish-brown with a very thin whitish coloured head. The aroma was malty, with some caramel sweetness. The mouthfeel was light, almost watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour is mainly malty, with a slight sweetness that gives way to some bitterness.

Tried it at Catch 22 - It wasn’t as bad as people where rating it. Full flavour - mrked malt notes - unbalanced but decent.

Tap at C’est What? Deep amber beer with a very creamy white head. Fruity aroma of berries and light cherry/plums. Light nutty sweetness. Nutty malts and a lingering fruity finish. Not very lagerish to me.

Sampled at Beer Bistro Golden Tap Awards from a bottle. Molasses / soy sauce porter aroma. Black appearance, thick white head. Taste was actually kind of smoky and with roasted hints - is this a porter is disguise? Thin and watery is the major detractor here, but I loved the smoke aspect. Again, pleasantly surprised.

Sample from 341 ml bottle. Chocolate brown colour with a fizzy tan head. Caramel and light chocolate aroma. Chocolate, light bread, and lightly grainy flavour. Light bodied, fizzy mouthfeel. Average.
