GregClow (2318), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 1, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. Deep mahogany with a small dirty-white head. Aroma is sweet but not cloying - roast malt, dark sugar, vanilla. Medium bodied. Flavour starts malty, with notes of coffee and chicory, and some moderate hoppiness coming in to dry things out a bit in the finish. Nice stuff, very drinkable.
mabel (1583), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 11, 2008 [1492-20080607] Tap. Chocolate grains aroma is muted. Clear, dark mahogany brown body with a long-lasting creamy light tan head. Grains and toasted malt flavour hints at more chocolate. Medium body is smooth. Fresh, average.
(@ Mill St.; Toronto, ON) gilvanblight (338), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Jul 20, 2008 Very dark mahogany pour. Nice frothy head. Not much scent at all, a touch of malt maybe? Full bodied taste, lots of roasted malts, touch of caramel and hops, very well balanced. Sammy (3020), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 1, 2008 On-tap at the brewpub. Mahogoney bron with reddish tinge, and some white head. Almost neutral aroma, malt, faint barley. Mouthfeel is above average, i am getting a little roasted malt, low bitterness, maltiness carries it. Unoffensive yet not overwhelmingly drinkable. Radek Kliber (3284), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 29, 2008 On tap at Volo
Appearance: deep, dark ruby, touch of mahogany. Slightly tanned , creamy head. Nose : Mild , yet not flat aroma. Warmth with caramel malts , bit of scotch. Gentle roasty notion ending session. 7+ Flavor/Palate : On lips slight citric bite , frontal clean roasted barley (well prepared). Some bitter bite in the midlle but not much. Scotch character slightly less exposed here if you compare to aroma. Dry, carbonated finish. Good ale.
