On tap at Volo. In contrary to the rating here, I have to give this beer some credit. This is the only dark beer I have come across that drinks down smooth. For those of you who hate lagers, but like smooth beers that are easy to down, this one is it. Perhaps a bit dangerous at that. Tastes like a mild oatmeal stout, medium bodied, with almost no aftertaste. A must try!

341 ml bottle froma trade with jessem. pours very dark brown with a mid tn head. very nice roast malt aroma with some vanilla, quite inviting. the flavour isnt quite as good. its a little bland, some roast malt, a touch of smoke, but overly thin. the palate is to thin and without the body you are let down after the delightful nose. its a passable brown ale but one that ill pass on in the future.

chocolate aroma, its cocacola coloured with a beige head, nutty sweet taste, roasty, a good bite and medium body. yeppp its good

473 ml can from LCBO. Pours a dark brown colour with a hint of red and a medium-sized tan head. Nose of caramel malt with light roastiness and nuttiness. Flavour has more prominent nuttiness, with caramel malt more muted and roastiness subtler than in the nose. Slightly dry finish. Not spectacular but good.

Deep garnet in color, beige head and generous lace, the nose is sweet, carmel, coffee, and malt. Front is sweet, the top medium, the finish is highly acidic, somewhat sour, fair hop bite, different, I will give it that.

bottle 341ml
Appearance: Brown toned brew with large, frisky fine beaded head.
Nose: Medium rich with sweet brown malts , hint of caramel with roasted barley on side. 7-
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied brew. Smoky roasty mid front with chewable meaty palate. Substantial with enough soft sweets and mid end. Neat to see smoky feel . Solid, refreshing light silky bodied smoked dark ale. Thicker version of this ale would be a blast.

Sampled at the Toronto Festival Of Beer 2004. Brown-amber colour with a wispy tan head. Aroma is a little roasty with some caramel notes, and a bit of sourness. Body is moderate, a little creamy. Flavour is decent, with some coffee and chocolate notes, and a lingering roasty finish.
