This stout poured the usual dark black with a lacking tan head. To the nose there was scents of chocolate, coffee, nuts and burnt malt. First taste was smooth but lightly watery tasting. Flavours of molassass and smoke with a little bitterness at the finish. Overall not bad but a little light on the flavour.

Aug 21, 2008 Pitch black with a small head. Slightly sour fragrance but very tasty with malt and coffee coming through.
Easy drinking and no lingering bitterness. Very nice.

Aug 17, 2008 473mL can purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Initially pours black with a fizzy head and bubbles on the side. Looks like Coke. The head and bubbles fade quickly, leacing a rather flat looking beverage. Nice coffee aroma. Flavour is decent. Starts off with some coffee notes with the malts, though the flavour drops off somewhat midway. The aftertaste is left a bit thin. This beer (on tap) won a blind stout and porter tasting at C’est What a few months ago - which was a bit of a surprise.

Aug 7, 2008 473mL can. As the bottle says, it pours like liquid midnight - completely black with a moderate head (but not creamy). Aroma is a chocolate maltiness and a bit smoky. Flavour is roasted coffee, but mouthfeel is too thin. Finish is a bit short. Good, but not incredible.

Aug 7, 2008 473ml can from the LCBO. Overall a good tasting stout. Im glad to see Orangeville, ON can produce some good beer.

Aug 3, 2008 Can 473ml. Pours a black opaque body with average carbonation and a thin brown bubbly/frothy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with roasty and dark chocolate hints. Taste is well balanced, but it lacks the robustness I was expecting. Ends with a short bitter/roasty finish. Ordinary.
