Bright chestnut colour. Nutty aroma with chocolate malt undertones. Toasty, light body with some honey and hints of chocolate. Sits on the border between a mild and a brown ale.

<i>2008-07-30, draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver, 4-3-5-2-8=22</i><br />Brown color. Light aroma, not interesting, almost cardboard. Caramel flavor, no Cream here... Boring.<br /><br /><i>2008-07-16, draught at Steamworks (?), 5-3-5-2-10=25</i><br />Nice light brown color. Light aroma of Asian kitchen (?). It has just a plain favor, caramel and roasted malt, dry mouthfeel, dirty water? No interest.

clear dark reddish-amber colour; very little foam; slightly toasted, malty nose with flavours of licorice, caramel and vread; high carbonation and a medium malt body at best; moderately sweet; the finish is quite dry with some more malty/biscuity notes

Nutty and biscuity malt aroma with some dark malt apparent and some caramel. Clear, deep, chestnut brown coloured body is topped by a low, large bubbled, tan head that recedes rapidly to a partial cover with some sudsy lacing. Caramel malt is somewhat watery with some toastiness and some dark malt bitterness. Medium light body with moderate carbonation and a touch of astrindency notable in the finish. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle (BCLS at 8th & Cambie, Apr-07).

Deep orange-amber colour with a thick tan head that quickly falls back to a thin film. Rich malty smell with hints of fruit and oakiness. Flavour is also quite pleasant, slightly spicy malt with a faint woodsy hoppiness and a great creamy texture. Long lasting finish. I was pleasantly surprised by this brew.
