Feb 23, 2005 Pours deep brown with no head. Dull aroma, nothing much really, kind of paper like. Taste is smokey, roasted malt, cofee, fruity. Aftertaste dies away into nothing. An interesting beer. Not bad.

Feb 17, 2005 This is a pretty beer. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is slightly sweet, smells like a good stout. Tastes completely different from how it smells. Tastes of malt with little roasted character, and a bit of a strange aftertaste. This beer is thin, as I expected for a black ale. Overall, I expected more from this beer.

Feb 13, 2005 Sweet, fruity aroma (but that is to be expected, I guess) with a beautiful purplish color. Overall I found this ale to be too sweet. It would probably make a good cough suppresant.

Feb 13, 2005 The aroma of this jet black brew contains strong burnt peat notes with hints of berry fruity resonance. Berries do not, by any means, dominate the flavor. This is similar to what you might get if you took a bland porter and mixed it with berries and tea leaves. This brew had a curious nagging flavor element that I could not place my finder on. Unfortunately, it was this element that ruind the brew for me. I would not revisit this one.

Feb 11, 2005 Sweet malt with a sour fruit note...like cough medicine...but the thinness of mouthfeel detracts somewhat, from what would otherwise have been an interesting drink. Nice experiment, though.

Feb 11, 2005 This old drink pours a beautiful brownish-purple color with a slender trace of a white head. The aroma is malty sweetness with a perfumey fruity scent. Thin-bodied, this has a dark fruit flavor (that would be the berries, I suppose) and some malt sweetness, that combine in a way to give it a slightly medicinal quality. More interesting a drink than "good," but I certainly wouldn’t turn one away.

Feb 10, 2005 Pours dark black with a thin head that doesn’t last long at all.
Aroma is fruity and malty: Very nice.
Flavor is, well, like a fruity Black Ale.
Palate is thin with very little carbonation. Overall it’s a nice change, but nothing special.

Feb 7, 2005 Mild peat malt in the sweet, herbal, fruity aroma. Opaque dark brown with shy, large-bubbled, off-white/tan head that recedes to thin ring. Peat malt flavour up front mellows to a subdued fruitiness with some herbal spicing and a fairly salty character. Medium-light body with smooth texture and gentle carbonation. Bottle (LCBO - Nov. 2004).
