Dec 2, 2006 Dark amber body with a small white head. Lightly fruity house yeast aroma and muted malt. Toasty malt is both sweet and dry, touch grainy at times. Finish is quite bitter, not quite astringent which lingers along with light malt in the aftertaste. Slightly fuller than average palate. Pleasant session brew but it also doesn’t really make me leap for another.

Aug 21, 2005 This was the other one I tried at the Rudders Brewpub. Deep amber color. My glass came with a huge, slightly tan and long lasting head. Complex nose and equally complex flavors. Decent mouthfeel. Overall a very nice offering, and it was a relief to discover that someone really did know how to brew good ale in Nova Scotia.

Jul 3, 2005 On tap at the brewpub. Amber colour with a frothy off-white head. Caramel, earthy, and lightly fruity aroma and flavours. Medium bodied, a bit sticky.

Dec 23, 2003 Dark amber colour with a light tan head. Aroma is toasty, lightly woody with hints of caramelized pears. Toasty body shows hints of multigrain bread, caramel and earthy hoppiness. Body and flavour are slightly too light or this would be a higher score.
