I enjoyed this beer, it had a toasty flavour and had hints of chocolate and coffee.

Draught: Poured a crystal clear copper-amber with a decent chunky head that dissipates quickly to a thin lace. Has understated aromas of fresh seeded fruit mingled with carmel or toffee...a distinct malty sweetness is prevalent... Starts with light and tangy dryness to the tongue then builds to a pleasingly balanced hop and malt light cream mouth feel... then finishes with a twang of citrus bittering with a lovely malty-bready after taste. For a long time I avoided this beer because it was advertised as a "dark bitter". I’m definately not a fan of the English bitter ale style. But.... this one surprised me. It’s really not overly bitter at all but a very well made craft version of the way commercial brewers made ales in Canada in the 1890s. They state that it’s a "dark ale" on the lable...more aptly I would qualify it as a very tasty and drinkable session ale. I LIKE this Ale! It’s a good traditional styled Canadian tavern ale

This dark ale poured a nice rich dark brown with a choppy tan head. To the nose at first was ripe fruit, sweet molassas and spice. First sip was roasty with full flavours of burnt malts and a little caramel / molassas flavours. The finish was also of roasted malt but had a slightly hoppy taste to the end. Palate was slightly bitter.

Bottle thanks to HogTownHarry. Roasted malt aroma, pretty simple there. Pours a dark brown with a light tan head. Taste is pretty simple somewhat caramel taste at first with a bitter hop finish. Palate is quite light and watery. Overall decent.
