May 9, 2008 Smells very nice. Chewy caramel. A nice light flavor. A bit of floral aspects but also stays on the teeth for awhile. Maybe lingers just a bit too long.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle from the LCBO. Nice brilliant copper colour with a good sized white head. The aroma is decent, with some solid maltiness, and notes of caramel and orange peel. Body is good for the style, with soft carbonation. The flavour is pleasant and well balanced, with malt and grain notes off the top, some orange-candy sweetness in the middle, and a grassy hoppiness to finish. A very nice ale.

Oct 24, 2009 Clear amber-tinted copper coloured body with a thin (one centimetre) slightly off-white head. Decent looking, nothing special though. Aroma of fruit, raisins, pit fruits, caramel, malt and a touch of hops. Medium-bodied; Malty flavour up front with an odd cereal taste in the middle along with a nutty finish. Aftertaste shows caramel, pit fruits and an overwhelmingly bitter malt taste - no hops at all. Overall, a decent beer - not amazing by any means, but not horrible either. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from the LCBO (Summerhill) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 11-October-2009, sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 24-October-2009.

Jan 9, 2007 Bottle pours dark amber with a short offwhite head that leaves some light lace. Aromas of caramel malts, a touch of toffee, and some toasted malts with light citrus. Flavor is toffee, caramel, and toasted malts and some bready notes before a slight bitter citrus finish. Watery on the palate without much carbonation.

Nov 27, 2006 Bottle at The Anchor, Wichita, KS. Pours a muddy caramel with a leafy, earthy malt aroma. Lemon sweetened tea with a malty finish. Decent mouthfeel. Not bad, but it looks like melted poo.

Nov 21, 2005 A lone interesting bottle in a cooler at a wine store near Virginia Square. Thanks to Joe’s sharp eyesight I didn’t leave empty handed. Clear brown - I’d say it looked like iced tea - actually, it was a nice color, very visually appealing to me for some reason, it was like a contemplative color. Aroma was earthy with floral hops and light toffee. Mild malty flavor with almond and warm hops and some anise at the end.
