At the Woolwich Arms in Guelph. Flat with no head and very heavy in the mouth and stomach. Smells and tastes of bread dough. Not a pleasant beer.

341ml bottle purchased from brewery. Not sure if this is a new product as it was not already on this website. This is a truly great beer much better than their mediocre pilsner available at the LCBO. The aroma is very sweet smelling with no hint of skunk. An odd aroma. Caramel, chocolate and coffee hops dominate the flavour, with the perfect amount of hops bitterness. This is a delicious beer. Good Job F&M

Cask @ Castle on King. Served at cellar temperature, minimal carbonation. A nice subtle citrus/grassy hop combination, both in the "flavour" hops and in the finish. A decent malt backbone that works well with the hopping, instead of trying to steal the show.

A big beer with lots of malt character and hops to balance. Fruity/caramel aroma foreshadows the slighlty sweet malts in the body. Hop bitterness comes at the end to clean the palate for the next mouthfull. Although I've had it cask-conditioned, I think I prefer it from the bottle.
