Dec 9, 2009 Full, fluffy tan head. Brownish-red colour.
Aromas of malt are lacking. But fair malt flavour on the palate. Full mouthfeel with some tinglyness on the finish.
Overall mediocre. This was not terribly complex.

Jan 8, 2009 Bottle. Amber. The head disappears about as fast as possible. There is spice in the aroma, some molasses, clove, cinnamon, a hint of pumpkin. I taste some caramel, grape, pumpernickel.

Dec 25, 2008 341ml bottle
6.0% ABV
I tried this beer after purchasing a 6 pack from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent dark red, with brownish hints, and little or no head. The aroma was sweet malt, with a hint of hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is sweet dark malt, some chocolatey tones, and a little hoppish bitterness.

Dec 8, 2008 341 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours light brown with a small tan head. sweet aromas that take a long time to come out. decent malt undertones but fairly thin overall. easy to drink at 6% but in a watery way. no complexity. an average brew here.
