Oct 4, 2008 Bottle - at least they’ve stopped producing it in clear glass. One of the best things this poor excuse for a brewery produces. Looks gorgeous - dark brown/ruby with a white head that, unfortunately, doesn’t last. Slight fruit in aroma but mostly alcohol; the almost complete lack of hop is criminal. Fruity taste with a hint of banana in the bitter finish. Too thin a body for my tastes.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep amber with a beige head. Sweet caramel aroma with fruit and perfume. The flavor is also sweet and fruity with hiints of hops. Decent.

Sep 27, 2008 500 ml. bottle. Pours a pleasant tannish head, great reddish brown colors....nose of chocolate and other roasted malts....tastes initially slightly toffee sweet, then more balanced as hop flavors come in and linger....mouth feel is somewhat light.

Sep 22, 2008 Pours a deep caramel color tinted with red, not much head. Alcohol and nutty aroma. Thick mouth feel. Low carbonation, nutty flavor with hints of caramel and dark fruits, earthy. Alcoholic finish, I liked this one quite a bit.

Sep 22, 2008 Murky Cola colouring with tan head which did last (served at room temperature). Sweetness and ’old’ fruit, raisin overtones coming through the malt.
