Aug 8, 2004 Updated: Mar 18, 2009carbonated on-tap but I wouldn’t want to buy a six-pack. Bit of head. Carmel malty to make it popular in Canada. Mid-sip hint of roast malt cream chocolate, but we are not talking about a stout or porter here, more medium mouthfeel.

Jul 5, 2004 Bottle. I have mixed feelings on this one. Poured a nice brown colour, little head. Lots of caramel in the aroma and taste – it was quite thin though with little carbonation. I enjoyed it, right up until the finish – it was yeasty and a little sour. Now I should point out I bought this 6 pack from a very small town Ontario lcbo/beer store combo and this type of “micro” beer could have been there for quite a while (there was no date stamp). So I will re-rate on another occasion. But until then, I’m left with a beer that showed some promise, but ultimately failed to deliver.

May 13, 2004 Bottle. Dark maple color, lasting head, clear. Decent malty/molasses nose. Not a heckuva lot of flavor unfortunately, just some boring light fruity (cherry) bits amidst the undistinguished maltiness, in a too-light body. A bit of odd sourness also detracts. Next!

Apr 28, 2004 Dark brown with a foamy off-white head.Slightly malty nose with cardboard.
Malts come out without much interest, slightly sweet notes, with signs of oxidation. Body is light to medium. Uninteresting.

Apr 11, 2004 Updated: Apr 12, 2004The colour of this beer is something between amber and brown. The aroma is vaguely sweet with some faint hops. Flavor wise it is sweet, but not overly malty. I detected some citrus notes as well, It lacks body, and has a short, watery finish. In spite of it's negative qualities, this beer still held my interest. Thanks Lubiere.

Apr 7, 2004 Bottled - Smokeless Joes Toronto. i do wish brown ales would come themselves brown rather than dark. I was hoping for a black beer but got a mid brown schwarzbier like tasting beer. Not unpleasant and had some nutty qualities but nowt special.

Dec 27, 2003 Aroma is not good at all but the flavour makes up for its loss. Dark coffee colour and taste with other hints of dark malts and molasses. Slight burnt flavour to both. Finish is slightly bitter with continuing coffee notes.

Oct 29, 2003 A great dark beer with after tastes of coffee. Goes down nice and is very refreshing for a dark beer
