Dec 8, 2007 like drinking coffee that got cold. Not horrible coffee, but just another thin and dry stout. Two cups are OK but a litre flip top? Not complex, a passable beer. A bit of roast barley, a dark brown colour and a bubbling transparent amount of head.

Dec 2, 2007 Nice roasty chocolate/coffee aroma. Flavour is sweet, and creamy. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of fruit. Very smooth, with a touch of bitterness in the finish. Great stuff.

Oct 17, 2007 Pours a black color with a thin beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, mint and vinyl. Flavor of roasted malt, vegetables and some minty freshness. The body is light with moderate carbonation.

Sep 29, 2007 Sampled at The C’est What? Fall Festival of Beers. Looks great - very dark body, with an effusive tan head - full marks for that. Aroma was very faint, but hinted at dryness. Flavour was pretty bland and run of the mill, with no real distinguishing features. Palate was also fairly undistinguished and average. After the appearance it was very disappointing, but not offensive.

Sep 9, 2007 Deep brown in colour, large brown coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is very light, lightly acidic, grainy with some faint chocolate powder. The flavour is thin, dusty, some light roast, very light alround, not much in the line of flavour. Light mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes quick with some sourness. Not great, I just wish that this wasn’t in a 1L bottle. I hope that not all bottles are like this but at this price I’m not going to find out. A drain pour.
1L swingtop bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario for $9.95.
Purchased on April 18, 2007 and opened on July 27, 2007.
No best before date.

Aug 28, 2007 Soft, sweet, smokey malt, dark brown, pours a firm tan head. Taste is a bittersweet malt, light bodied, sweet, bitter and drying. Average.

Aug 27, 2007 Bouteille 1L (LCBO). De couleur noire brune très foncée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt rôti, moyen de café, léger de plastique brûlé et de fumée de tabac ainsi qu’avec des petites notes de chocolat noir et des traces de vanille. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement crémeuse et aqueuse. Léger goût de fumée de tabac (traces boisées) et de vanille avec des notes de plastique brûlé ainsi que des traces chocolat au lait et de crème (faibles notes lactiques) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût moyennement amer de malt rôti (doux mais aux notes brûlées) accompagné de petites notes de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve un goût de café moka asséchant ainsi que des notes de houblon herbeux et terreux. Post-goût moyen-long et sec, moyennement amer de rôti / brûlé, de café avec des notes de chocolat noir et de houblon herbeux ainsi que des traces de tabac

Jul 28, 2007 Dark malt character is undermined by strong plastic and vinyl phenols in the nose. Opaque black body is topped by a decent fine bubbled tan head that recedes to a lasting cover with some lacing. Vegetal flavour with plastic phenols that overshadow the dark malts. Honey sweetness in the aftertaste. Medium light body is very dry with pleasant and lasting effervescence. Bacterial infection perhaps? Bottle sampled with Altair, beerbuzzmontreal, Cathschlag, Glouglouburp, Goldorak, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Yowie.
