Draft, April Brews Day. Copper pour with a small white head. Light toasty, caramel malt aroma. Light sticky dried fruit flavors with lots of caramelly notes. Mildly bitter finish. This reminded me most of an ESB with a bit more malt than usual. This had a slight vegetal off note to it. Seems like it could have been a lot better, and I would like to try it again given the opportunity.

Copper color. Aroma of sweet candy, dried mango, raisin. Taste is sweet, root vegetable malts, minimal hops. Creamy texture. I really like this brewery, they have some very unique and tasty brews.

Great name! Dark copper-amber colour. Slightly bitter palate has a toasty malt accent. OK beer.

Dark amber beer, thin lace. Malty aroma. Flavour of crystal malts, raisin, lightly toasted with a touch of diacetyl. Malty flavour as well, a touch of fruitiness. Light bitterness on the finish. Okay, but lacking real character.

Nothing too truly remarkable as some of their beers can be. Very grainy and chewy with a good hop presence and balance, but just lacked the pizazz of their other beers.

This a nice ale, so well balanced. Flaovur is sweet caramel & chocolate malts as well as roasted malt are working nicely together. Dark red in color with nice lasting head. I nice mouthfull.
