Dark copper color with a thin, almost lacy, head. Piney, slightly citrus hops with a caramel malt base, with a touch of tobacco and dried fruit. Rather faint altogether. Bigger malt in the mouth, lots of caramel and chocolate, along with raisins. Some piney hop flavor, a touch of citrus, and very light bitterness in the end. Smooth and rounded enough. Well balanced but rather dull in flavor.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle at parent’s house. Medium brown, with a hint of red. Nice beer, although I guess some would say normal.

Dec 24, 2009 50 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Deep amber colour, frothy lacy head. Bread hay and pepper on the nose, sharp but pleasant first sip, fades to sweet but balanced caramel with some yeastiness.

Dec 19, 2009 Bootle. Clear golden with a huge foamy off white head showing good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is very earthy with nuts, toasted malt and hops. Flavor is earthy, slightly hoppy with a toasted malt background and some tobacco. Medium body, average carbonation.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle from the LCBO. Nice copper colour with a big and creamy white head. Sweet, malty aroma with hints of toasted nuts and musty pear. Soft bodied, a bit creamy, very moreish. Tasty and well-balanced flavour - malt, toasted grain, earthy hops, dryish finish. A very flavourful and very drinkable bitter.

Dec 6, 2009 Pours a clear amber with a moderate tan head. Aroma is malty, grainy with a bit of mustiness. Taste is a bit bitter, but not overpowering. Moderate to heavy carbonation leads to a clean finish. Overall pretty good.

Nov 29, 2009 Big rum and Coke nose, some citrus notes. Cloudy reddish brow, small soapy head. Salt water taffy sweetness, spicy bitterness. Big carbonation, medium body, full mouth feel, finishes unfortunately like a cola flavored “malt beverage” alcopop. Everything indicated that this would be an interesting beer, but once ingested in went downhill.

Nov 24, 2009 Updated: Nov 26, 2009I liked the subtle earthy-mineral yeast flavor. Pours a clear ruddy brown with natural looking head that is off-white. Aroma is all yeast sweetness and a slight scrapey feel which rounds out with air. Taste is rounded fruit - tropical and apple - with some light lemon from the hops. Caramel and nutty sweetness, gorgeous. Light roast.
