This full-bodied, dark ale, styled after British ales, is more assertive and darker than traditional Canadian ales. A blend of roasted malts from Canada and Great Britain create an brew that's smooth and rich with a subtle darker flavor.

A soft brew with a faint malt character and a hoppier, spicier nose.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with (thanks!). Poured a dark orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of light caramel, light smoke, and light grains (everything on the light side). Tastes of caramel, nuts, and toasted malts. Creamy but thin body.

Pours a clear copper ruby color with a thin lacing eggshell head. Thick caramel toffee malt aroma. Smooth malty body has a light bitterness throughout. Don't really know if this qualifies as an English strong ale, but it's a decent malty full-bodied, yet smooth, brew.

Bottle courtesy of matt7215. Pours red with a thin white head. Smells fruity (strawberries, cherries). Tastes of caramel malt, some light tartness, touches of earthiness. Enjoyable.

Copper colour, thin white lace. Malty caramel toffee aroma with a big shot of berry/cherry fruit. Flavour is also malty and fruity. A bit of spicy hops and a softly bitter finish. Nice.

Brown color with just a slight hue of orange. Bone colored smallish head. Aromas of caramel, aged hops and corn silage. Thin tasting Some mild malt, but because of the thinness in character the hops come out early and make this one taste more like a beer hops tea.
