This fine beer is the ambrosia of the gods themselves - a fine brown-amber, thick creamy tan foam, aroma of malts, spices, and figs, and a heavenly flavor of caramel, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and other divine spices previously untasted by mere humans. But it exacts a heavy price for mortal men who would imbibe it. As told by legends passed down from the ancient paleo-indians who predated even the Clovis culture in southern Canada, he who drinks of this beer damns himself to forever accompany the Great Raven on his eternal travels as he flies his canoe by night over the northern lands, collecting souls. A great beer and a great legen--- egads, what is that clattering? Who is on my porch? Is-- O gods have mercy! It is the foul Raven himself, come for me! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--

Refrigerated bottle poured into a trappist glass. Medium brown with large cremson highlights and small beige head. Well carbonated, fine bubble lacing, and medium body. Taste is complex darker fruit, molasses, and alchol is pretty well covered. Reminds me of a lesser version of gulden draak.

Tasted at Beerbistro, Toronto on 9 July 2011. Reddish brown color, foamy big of-white head, initial taste of cough syrup flavor! with coffee-like finish, mild carbonation. Probably too much sugar content.

Bottle. Strong, dark, a little sweet. One of the best beers Canada’s ever created.

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows or seomtthing
