From old tasting notes. Deep Amber red color. Thin white head. Sweet toasted malt aroma, reminiscent of oatmeal cookies. Tangy toasted malt flavor. Nice coffee-like character with a pinch of hoppiness in the finish. Cloying mouth filling aftertaste.

2010 decent malty ale. served ice cold, so it takes a while to open up and is pleasantly sweet with a light hop bite when it does.

Tap. Nice beer, but not true to style. Aromas of caramel, and butter. Aroma is sweet, with average length. Palate is silky, with a thin body. Amber, with a frothy head.

On tap at Windmills in Kingston. Deep copper with a thick nitro-looking tan head. Aroma is not good: veggie compost with sweet undertones. Flavours are decent enough-- toffee, vague dark fruits, low bitterness.

Bottle shared by Dogbrick as a precursor to his Portland beer tasting. Pours a clear gold/copper with a medium off-white head. Malty nose with cream and caramel. Creamy malt flavor with a bit of a bitter hop finish. Not knocking my socks off, but better than I expected.

Pours a dark amber with a small white head. Light malt aroma. Taste is mild caramel, malt and hop. Nice balance but nothing special.

Sample at the "Portland? Psh More Like Beerland" tasting on 03/10/10. Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer is a clear dark amber color with a medium thin and foamy off-white head that dissipates slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Grainy malt and hops in the nose. Medium, smooth body with flavors of sweet malt, mildly bitter hops and a touch of molasses. The finish is malty with a lingering light hops aftertaste. Okay overall.

deep reddish/brown, big beige head. nose; smells good, malty, herbacious, bread dough, taste is a little nutty, crisp, some roastiness, overall pleasant.

At my hotel in Niagara Falls. This was a lot like an amber ale. The appearance was amber, white head. The aroma was bread, caramel, malts. The flavor was caramel, and a sourdough bread taste, actually enjoyable. The finish was bitter, mainly from noble hops. The mouthfeel was thin/medium. Not bad at all.

On tap at the Woolwich Arms in Guelph The aroma was almost no existent slight sweet hops Pours a pale cooper with a small white head with good lacing The taste was fairly mild and i am unsure whether the keg was old or not so this one will need to be revisited at some point
