Oct 8, 2007 Decent nut brown: not sweet as some can be, but then again it’s not got any distinctive flavors either. Quaffable and pretty good.

Jul 6, 2006 (650ml bottle) Purchased at the Sailor Hagar’s Off-Sale for ~$5. Lasting foamy almond-coloured head with a ruby body. Pleasant roasteed malt and slight coffee flavours. This is a good contender. I like the solid beers made by Howe Sound.

Nov 23, 2004 Very dark porterish colour with ruby and mahogany notes. Has a thin light brown head. Sweet blackstrap molasses and treacle aroma. A vineous sherry-like aroma. Cherry and black current fruitiness with port-like notes as well. Not like any other brown ale that I’ve had. Tends to become cloying, but is still a well-crafted beer. Based on the description I’m reading I think this is a totally different beast from what others were drinking when it was still brewed at Sailor Hagars.

Apr 16, 2003 Dark brown body with little head. Flavour is nice and nutty but a little thin. Finish is dry.
