Jun 21, 2009 Not much aroma, sceptic to look because of the cristal clear bottle. Pale brown appearance. Sweet toffee taste, and vanilla aftertase. Some people may like it, but this how a beer should not taste.

Jun 17, 2009 33 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Solid golden colour, thin head. Primarily skunky aroma with some oakiness coming through. Some grains and malt once the skunk has settled. Sweet, with some sourness on first sip, gives way to a quite smooth, building sweetness that finishes too sweet.

Jun 3, 2009 Crystal clear copper, a small off white head appeared when first poured but quickly vanished. I noticed a slight skunk smell when bottle was first cracked but it didn’t last long, there seems to be tons a caramel and wood making up the rest of the aroma. I thought I poured my self a beer and not a rye and coke, the oak aging process they describe really flavors the beer like whisky, I don’t like whisky! Beer does have decent malt backbone, with a touch of alcohol in the finish. For an ESB its pretty non-bitter it’s really more smooth then anything ells, the beer leaves a sweet toffee after taste that lingers for a long while. I don’t understand the hype of the beer for an ESB it’s very weak and the oak aging in my opinion just makes it taste like rye. Its drinkable but not anything to get excited over.

May 29, 2009 A nice amber beer with a small white head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is very malty with some sweet caramel or toffee and a hint of oak. The flavor is also quite malty, in a sweet almost buttery way, with whiskey alcoholic notes. Interesting brew!

May 11, 2009 Pours with a golden body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s lightly malty with notes of toffee, vanilla and wood as well as a light hoppiness. Light to medium bodied and smooth.

Apr 24, 2009 Pours a good looking amber clear brown with small white head. Aromas of whiskey, oak and grain alcohol. Vanilla and butter flavors. Very smooth on the palate. Tastes better than it smells.

Apr 18, 2009 Updated: Jun 5, 2009bottle. pours a light amber with a small white head.... light sweet malt aroma with a touch of oak and some apple. the apple carries through the body along with the sweet malts. I really don’t get the oak aged flavors at all.... I didn’t really know what to expect from this one, but I was disappointed.... a very average import.
