On tap Nov 28. Coppery brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is malt, yeast, a bit of chocolate. Lightly carbonated. Taste is not too sweet, with fruit, chocolate, caramel, and lotsa malt. Slightly hoppy finish.

On tap at the Olde Stone Brewery. Dark pint. Name totally threw me off. Something along the lines of "sure to satisfiy the dark ale lover". Well it was okay, better than most I’ve had, but nothing special. I was expecting a kick in the face bitter with a full body. It was a good experience nonetheless. Very light bitterness. Medium body, and had a creamy mouthfeel. Hints of nuttiness, malt and a small amount of chocolate was evident in the flavour. Would drink again, but definitely not worth the premium price. Then again, all tap beers are expensive.

On tap. Deep brown, small foamy white head. Strong nutty malt aroma. Lots of caramel nuttiness in taste, all malt, all the time! Medium body. Light hops. I usually like my old ales to have more alcohol kick and complexity, but on its own, this is a solid brown ale. Very tasty and drinkable (and fresh this day).

On tap. Deep garnet color, medium sized beige head. Fair amount of caramel, predominantly sweet, very light bitterness on the end. Medium bodied. I’d drink again.
