3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep brown colour, aroma of malt and smoke. Taste is malt and nut. Good dark ale, nothing else of note.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cans bought in Bracebridge.
Non descript darker ale. A bit too bubbly for my taste with an utterly neutral nose. A bit of maltiness and not much else to remember it by.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
341 ml bottle in 6-pack from Beer Store, served cool in a tulip glass. JN06/09.
App.: Deep brown, clear, so-so tan head.
Aroma: Milk chocolate, medium-roasted coffee, slightly nutty, very light molasses, heavy on the malt.
Palate: Medium body and fairly full but soft carbonation.
Flav.: Nuttier than the nose, still some medium-roasted coffee, some green hops, slightly earthy and British; dry with a somewhat watery finish.
A pleasant Ontario micro.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can. Very dark brown red with a huge creamy off-white head. Very good retention and good lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, toffee, metal and brown sugar. Flavor is caramel, nuts, toasted malt and some hops. Thin to medium body. Average carbonation.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
473 ml can - pours very dark mahogany with an off-white head. Aroma sweet, dark malt, some honey, treacle, brown sugar. Astringently bitter, but more from the extremely roasty malts than the hops. Like burnt coffee. Slight metallic edge in the mouth as well. A bit thin beyond that. An alright brew, but not one of the better browns I’ve had.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Can - 473ml. Dark brown body with good carbonation and a thin beige bubbly head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with brown sugar hints. Its dry malty taste lacks complexity and carries some metallic notes. Ends with a short bittersweet finish. Boring.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
CAN. Semi-clear deep mahogany-brown with nice natural dark tan head. Delightful vanilla-toffee flavor with a medium-light easy drinking feel. Lightly honey-sweet with bare hints of coffee and chocolate, hops are just a structural presence.
Aroma is yeast, hint of espresso, Fucking good!! These people make real beer, and it’s local, and I don’t need drive to Buffalo to get it...
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can. Dark chestnut brown with a small off white head. Aroma: Somewhat nutty and malty, some corn and yeast. Flavour: Nutty again, some decent malt, hops and yeast. It has a rather weak body, lots of carbonation, chocolate and a malty finish. Not bad.
