Jul 29, 2007 This bitter ours quite dark. It has notes of caramel, malt, and toast. The palate shows the same flavors in a creamy feeling that also give a light note of hazelnuts.

Apr 17, 2005 Draft at the brewery: poured a dark amber/brown with a thin tan head. Light vinegar aroma. Light chocolate, brown sugar cinnamon flavor. Finishes bitter. Not too good.

Apr 2, 2005 Caramel malt and earthy, herbal hops in the aroma. Opaque, dark brown-amber with low off-white head that recedes to ring. Fairly malty flavour with caramel and toffee character up front that is chased by a decent finishing bitterness that leaves the palate clean and waiting for the next sip. Some hints of chocolate. Medium body with fair carbonation. On tap at the brewpub with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

Apr 1, 2005 New England Road Trip Easter ’05 with MartinT, tiggmtl and Rastacouere, beer #63. Sample at the brewpub. Dark cloudy copper from which huge sweet caramel-apple maltiness emanates, followed by a whiff of tar...coffee touches the caramel-sweet front, dryness shows up quickly for the woody/ashy/roasty coffee finishing flourishes, and a bit of English hops lend a touch of gravity and delicacy to the long ending.

Mar 29, 2005 Caramel and blackberries walk amidst the thick sweetness...Heavy, portly body lacks hops and express their sweetness a bit too loudly...Not quenching enough for the style and certainly too sweet...

Mar 29, 2005 Nice copper color, adequate off-white ring. Very fruity nose (blackberries) and strongly nutty. Appealing fuggles like hoppiness gives out woody and spicy tones. Perhaps a bit candyish and quite citrusy, but those fruits and nuts make it feel like a dessert bitter. On the tongue, it becomes quite earthy, lightly tart, strongly grassy and unfortunately a bit too sweet and astringent for its own good or this would have been a great session ale. Airy carbonation, medium body, comfortable feel.

Mar 19, 2005 Updated: May 2, 2005On draught at CBC. Pours a dark brown-chestnut body with a good-sized, creamy, off-white head. Aroma gives notes of walnuts, chocolate, floral hops and not as much fruitiness as expected. Low yeast activity it seems. Flavor is similar, a profound chocolatiness wraps around the palate and is very substantial and lightly chewy. Touches of bitter roast and herbal, minty hops. Definitely some mint nuances in this. Light coffee and base malt on the finish, keeps the flavor true adn the body does not water down. Another top-notch low gravity beer from these guys. Medium body, very low carbonation. Ample lacing and no alcohol apparency, obviously.
