UPDATED: JUL 4, 2023 Tap @ Propeller Brewing Company, Gottingen Street, Halifax. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, nuts, hops, malt and has a sweet nutty finish.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2022 Poured from cask @ The Narrows Public House. Clear-ish copper with small white head. Caramel malt, simple, but well made.

UPDATED: SEP 15, 2019 Can. A clear black tea body, medium beige head with good retention and lots of lacing. Aroma of caramel, grains, diacetyl, sugar and biscuit. Taste of caramel, herbs, woodsy notes, peppercorn and burned toast. Good.

UPDATED: AUG 22, 2019 I am a real fan of bitters, but found this one very light. It had a good maltiness, but seemed very thin on the palate.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2019 A 650ml bottle, 5.0 ABV, it was a gift from friends who visited Nova Scotia. It pours a copper colour with a loose cream coloured head. Aroma has lots if bread with sweet grains, biscuit & toffee. Tastes of toffee, hay & straw with sweet grains, mild roast and a touch of biscuit leading to a very well balanced malt medium bitter finish. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 1274

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2019 Pours hazy copper colour with average head. Very well balanced, with nice bitter finish. Lively carbonation. Medium body. Really good, comparable to British.

UPDATED: JUL 26, 2018 Dark cola clear. Sweet malt with mild ashiness a little bitterness. Kinda not impressed.

Pours a rich brown from a bottle. Roasty toast aroma, flavor adds nicely almost smoky toffee. Good bitterness, pretty good beer all around.

Hazy copper color with low activity. Soft creamy light brown 2 finger head that last 5 minutes. Flavors of toffee, dark grains, molasses, raisins, plums, berries, herbal spices. Some bready sweetness, but densely bitter and hoppy. Slick medium body with light prickly, soft crispy carbonation. Medium to strong strength, straw and roasted malts, leafy hops, and burnt ester sugars. Lacks balance and proper intensity. Not sharp enough, nor delicate. Quite bold and over intensified. Doesn’t feel very fresh, with a thick wet straw feel. Decent taste and a nice maillard smell. Overall okay quality craft.

Deep amber pour with creamy white head and lace. Aroma is sweet malt front with a touch of earthy/floral hops. Flavor is sweet malt with a touch of peatiness that seems a bit out of place. A touch of toffee and a dry perfumy finish. Medium bodied and a touch fizzy. A solid bitter finish. ESB I’m not sure but an OK drinker
