On tap at Volo. Sampled from a friend. Very unimpressed. Nutty aroma dominated a sugary malt profile. Bitter taste. Grassy undertones. Unworthy of the word craft.

Nov 20, 2009 341 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a dark reddish brown with tiny tan head. Aroma is fairly mild with a light nuttiness and some caramel sweetness. Taste is much bigger - very nutty with caramel and roasty notes. Long, fairly bitter finish. Body a little weak and overly fizzy carbonation. A little disappointing.

Nov 1, 2009 Deep brown pour. The nose is fairly caramelly with a touch of plumminess. A bit of light sweet raisin. A bit of light spice over a sweet maltiness. Fairly sweet but it is well balanced by the spice and some nice earthy hops. Pepper and a kiss of light plumminess.

Jul 13, 2009 341ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours dark with a small white head. Not as much flavour or body as the colour suggests, but but it went down nicely, and seemed well rounded.

May 5, 2009 Updated: Jun 17, 2009Copper-brown in color, off-white head that dissipates. Recent changes in this beer have moved it more in style with English Brown Ales as opposed to Irish Ales or Stouts. The Roasted Barley has been removed from the brewing process, and two-row and dark crystal remain the prominent malts.
