Draught sample at the 2007 GTAs. Golden colour with a reddish tinge and a small white head. Nice aroma of vanilla, bourbon and oak. Thinnish body. Flavour is somewhat one-dimensional, but still pleasant, with notes of wood and vanilla working well with the fairly light base beer. I’ve been disappointed by some of Trafalgar’s off-centre beers in the past - they should deal with their quality control and infection issues rather than cranking out so many different styles of beer, IMO - but this is an interesting and enjoyable beer.

Jul 20, 2008 Rusty orange pour with a bubbly head. Warm slightly spicey scent. Really nice taste malty and spicey. A bit flowery. Nice low carbonation. A good balance with a dry finish.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle - 650ml. Hazy amber body with a thin off-white frothy head. Decent hoppy aroma with some apple and grapefruit hints. Its hoppy taste lacks complexity and strength, and finish is short. Good, but nothing to get too excited about.

Jun 24, 2008 A nice amber ale with a thick light moka head. A pleasant vanilla aroma, with little acid points. In mouth, rye malt with light oaken wood notes, dry, medium bodied. A good beer for Trafalgar. Bought at LCBO, Ottawa.

Jun 11, 2008 Spicy nose, with some orange hops and a faint rye too, copper, small custard head, a bit of lace. Light taste of rye, mild malt also. Light bodied, balanced, spicy, dry, not too hard to drink. Interesting.

May 26, 2008 650ml brown bottle. Pours golden, hazy. Very large foamy off white head. Aroma is light lemons, faint floral notes. Flavour is also lemony and a touch grassy. Moderate bitterness that hangs around for a while. Some woody dryness. Not getting much rye. Medium body with a lot of carbonation. Not what I was expecting.
