CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Aug 23, 2005 (Draught) Sampled at the brewpub in Peterborough, ON. Pours a foamy, beige, non-dissipating head with a reddish-brown body and tiny nitro bubbles. Sweet, scotch nose with roasated malt. Smooth, smoked malt flavour with a mild caramel scotch finish. Very enjoyable. radiomgb (1776), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 1, 2002 This was a good one. Reddish brown in colour with a nice roasted flavour. Worth a try. mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 4, 2006 Draught. Dark garnet body with a small white ring of head. The aroma has some caramel, toffee, and burnt maple sugar. Enough complexity here to keep things interesting - sweetness with multiple layers between cookies and caramel. Finishes toasty and faintly sweet. IPFreely (1470), Niagara Falls, New York, USA Sep 12, 2006 On tap. Deep garnet color, medium sized beige head. Fair amount of caramel, predominantly sweet, very light bitterness on the end. Medium bodied. I’d drink again. tupalev (2311), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 13, 2006 On tap. Deep brown, small foamy white head. Strong nutty malt aroma. Lots of caramel nuttiness in taste, all malt, all the time! Medium body. Light hops. I usually like my old ales to have more alcohol kick and complexity, but on its own, this is a solid brown ale. Very tasty and drinkable (and fresh this day).
