Pours a mild, watery headless beer. Yikes, smells like a lager. Thin, very weak flavour. Not a good start to this festival. 5/2/4/2/9 presario (3009), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Growler driven back to Calgary and enjoyed 3 days from the brewery. Minimal short but lasting head. Dark mahogany. Smells like a brown! Roasted malt with a hint of prune. Flavour is rich coffee and plum with some nuts. Body is thick.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2006 Opaque brown, malty, medium body. No chocolate notes. Sweeter as you drink it. A hint of sour cherry.
Try before you buy. Not a popular brew so it’s often not in the best of shape. Oakes (8142), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Dark brown. Very chocolatey, toasty aroma. Very aromatic. Light, sweet character with hints of toasty. Smooth - actually could have used a bit more carbonation to carry the flavours along. Hint of toffee is the finish.
