Jun 28, 2009 On tap. I liked it quite a lot. Mouthfeel was okay but the flavour was nice and the aroma was great. Colour, in the dim light, seemed pretty dark.

Jun 22, 2009 Canned sample. Dark brown in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are quite malty and mild-roasty with elements of caramel, toasted pine nuts, and a hint of earthy hops. In the mouth the caramel evolves into a more toffee-like flavor, along with mild roasted coffee and toasted malt notes. The acidity of the toasted malt balances things out fairly well, although some hop bitterness is also in the mix. A well balanced brown ale. It would probably go well with all sorts of different food too.

May 22, 2009 Can - 473ml. Dark brown body with average carbonation and a thin beige foamy/bubbly head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with roasty hints. Taste is well balanced, but it lacks strenght and complexity. Ends with a short bitter finish. Average Brown Ale.

May 16, 2009 473 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Dark brown with a fair tan head.
Aroma: Sumptuous chocolate and medium roasted coffee, nutty, a touch lactic, some green hops, toffee/caramel, maybe a bit of vanilla, plenty malty.
Palate: Medium body, soft and sparse carbonation, smooth.
Flav.: Similar to the nose, more lactic and less sweet/malty, still exhibits some nice chocolate and coffee, still nutty; dry with a little bitterness and a nice malty finish.
I quite enjoy this product. I should get an oil change more often!

Apr 23, 2009 Can. Very dark brown with with a small off white head. Aroma: Quite a lot of hops, malt, nuts with vanilla and a tiny amount of chocolate. Flavour: Moderately carbonated with roasted malt, mild hazelnuts, caramel and a nice hop bite. I really wasn’t expecting much from this but it’s a nice solid beer and a nice surprise.
