Certainly the best beer to come out of Ontario. Even better than their Sgt. Major's, this aggresively hopped American Brown Ale is wonderfully balanced by a rich malt character. Dark mahogany in colour, a malty nose gives way to hop character. Although higher in IBU's than the Sgt. Major's, the Corporal's balance actually leaves the palate slightly sweet before succumbing to the the hops. A truly outstanding beer that gives credit to the brewer with each pint.

on tap at the castle on king. 6 oz sample. served reddish brown with a nice tan head. fresh green hop aromas over complex malt structure. man there is so much goin on in this one. the IBU’s clock in at 84 but the malts somehow outshine them. the malt are so enjoyable and smooth out the noticable citrus twang. this brew is awesome and will be the reason i return to the castle.

Perry’s the best brewer in Canada. This is a fine example of his craft though sometimes inconsistent in quality when this beer is on it is ON! Not much more to add than what’s already been said. I’m a fan.

Nutty, chocolate aroma, deep copper, lovely little vanilla head, some lace. Nutty, woody and chocolate malt flavours are an absolute marriage! The after taste is a sensational malt, with just the right amount of bitterness. Wonderfully balanced. Terrific!

Wow, what a great beer this is! Great toasted brown colour, nice combination of rostiness and bitterness in the aroma. The body is robust and creamy without being overbearing. The flavour perfectly combines the toasty chocolate nuttiness of a great porter with the dry, woody hops of a great pale ale. If this is Perry's idea of punishment, I can't even begin to imagine his idea of pleasure!
