Smoky calmness, tobacco, black tea, hints of milk chocolate at end. Easy going “strong character “.

Cask GTA’s &#64;BeerBistro. Smokey aroma, burnt wood and roast coffee, black, pours a trace of cappuccino head. Flavour is billowing with the ultimate in smokey, woody bourbon, dark chocolate, roasted malts, brazil nuts too. Medium bodied,complex for such a light weight, hefty bitterness. Terrific Perry! Like HogTownHarry, I voted this "beer of the fest."

Cask. Very dark brown with some light around the edges and a small bubbly brown head. Wow, what a powerful aroma - smells like a bag of cured ham along with toasted toffee and rye. Very creamy palate with some chocolate bitterness. Finishes with a lot of green smokiness. Interesting, to say the least.

<b>Cask</b>. <i>At BeerBistro, 2007 Golden Tap Awards</i>. My choice for "beer of the fest." fNearly opaque &#40;but essentially non-cloudy&#41; deep brown pour, small frothy cask head to it. Strong smoked aroma, bacon, hardwood campfire, heavy roast coffee bean malt, decent dry hop bittering. Taste - woah, hardwood campfire ashes, smoked meat, dark roast malt - quite strong, with a long smoky linger to it. I found the body fairly substantial, almost a bit syrupy, and just the right amount of acidity and astringency in the smoke, almost a sourness to the finish. Excellent!

<i>Cask at 2007 Golden Tap Awards, beerbistro.</i> Pours a very dark murky reddish-brown with no head. Nice peaty smoke aroma along with some dark malt, coffee and a hint of hops. Flaovur is big-time smoky bacon along with roasted caramel malt and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. I must say, this didn’t taste like I expected it to but I still quite liked it.
