Commercial Description:
Rich, full-bodied English-style bitter made from a blend of two-row malts, including pale malt, crystal malt (for body and residual sweetness) and chocolate malt (for its rich flavour and colour). A last small addition of malted wheat helps deliver its pleasing head. Hopping is done to 30 IBUs using a combination of North American Williamette and Fuggle varieties, and English Goldings. Water is softened for this brew in the manner of southern English bitters, making it very smooth and refreshing.

341 ml Bottle (from a 6 pac) purchased at LCBO Rideau and Kigng Edward (Ottawa), 1 November 2009. Copper clear, thin head. Aroma of raw barley malt, some notes of hops. Nutty malt, taste, hints of dry hops, a little bitter, well she has 30 IBUs. It is more malty than hoppy, but it’s good enough I think!

Nutty malt aroma. Tan head that laces as it thins. Clear deep amber brown body. Dry, sweet, nutty malt taste with roasted nut aftertaste.

341mL bottle. Pours a clear brown with fine tan head. Aroma is malty with dark fruits. Aroma is full and refreshing, with sweetness shifting to a bitter finish. Overall very nice.

Bottle. It’s copper brown in the glass with a thin white head. The aroma is nice: fruity with some raisin, grape, black licorice, chocolate. Mouthfeel is a bit chewy, medium in body. In the flavour I taste plenty of malt with bread, more chocolate, subtle hops. Finish is long with more hops. A keeper.

341 ml bottle from private order. Pours copper in colour, with decent white head. Aroma is earthy bitter, with underlying hints of caramel. Flavour is dominated by hops. Very good.

Pours a deep amber with a medium off-white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Very smooth with little carbonation on the palate. Bitterness in the flavour is not overpowering but leaves notes of citrus and herbs in the aftertaste.

341mL bottle shared with matt7215, his bottle, thanks Matt. Pours a nice coppery red with a small white cap. The aroma is super malty, chrystal, chocolate, roasted and a tiny touch of earthy hops. Flavour is very malt driven, which is delicious, loads of malt loaf upfront met with lots of dry earthy hoppiness in the finish. The malt body in this one is just spectacular. Vaguely reminiscent of a porter yet somehow without being darker. Very tasty beer, I can’t wait to buy more when the LCBO’s in my area re-stock.
