| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Draught @ Volo: Pours like a flat cola, dark brown caramel colour, iffy and quick to leave white head. Aroma is heavy on molasses, quite sweet, not much else. Extremely harsh to sip with carbonation, almost painful. Quite bland and not much in the way of hopping. Like a watery soda pop. j12601 (1323), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Draught. At 2009 C’est What Fall festival. Very dark cloudy brick-red pour with an average creamy off-white head. Not much aroma at all, very mild - generic roastiness and some earthiness. The character showed in the taste though - dry, wooody, with nutshell bitterness, hardly any alcohol presence. Average body, undercarbonated, with a surprisingly long dry leafy finish - pretty nice. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 17, 2009 On tap C’est What. Dark brown with a very creamy thick white head - looked like nitro to be honest (but it was not). Aroma was pretty muted - some dry roast malt. Taste s not bad - creamy dark malt, hint of roast, edge of sourness, light bitterness. There is some flavour here, but that malt mix and that sour edge did not do a lot for me. Not bad.
