Commercial Description:
Our new bitter brown ale, Corporal Punishment, is our most complex beer to date. This ale is a wonderfully bitter, incredibly malty and nicely hoppy brew. Amber and Dark Crystal malts, and Willamette and Challenger hops are used in this 5.3 percent alcohol, 84 International Bittering Units (that’s right, 84 IBU) ale. A rich mahogany in colour, this ale blends flavours of fresh bitter coffee, dry caramel and nuttiness with light dry chocolate, woody hop and citric notes.

Medium brown colour, weak head, slightly unclear. Seems to have a little bit of sediment on the bottom, didn’t realize it though and didn’t get much of it. A little nutty and citrusy aroma, quite interesting, but could be a little ore pungent. Flavour is excellent, quite bitter with lots of deep hop flavours hidden in this beer. Very nice brown ale flavour, one of the best browns I’ve had. Can’t believe it’s only 4.3% with this much flavour. Hint of smoke and a long finish, very nice.

Bottle from LCBO. Pours dark brown to deep copper in colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma is not too intense, herbal and earthy hops. Hops really stand out in the flavour department, with a hint of smoked malt. Great Ontario beer,

Wonderfully bitter brew!! This is definitely an assault on the senses. Rich head, earthy aroma, refreshing bitterness. Malty, nutty aftertaste. Tasted this at the Bow & Arrow Pub in Toronto... a true gem.

Cask Conditioned. Pours red/brown and a bit murky. Really great looking firm rocky off white head. Lightly smoked, nutty roasted malt aroma. Very malty with pepper, clove earth and fruit. Sour. Dry citric pithy finish. I would have noticed the bitterness, however I had just had a 90 Minute DFH IIPA.

On tap @ the Winking Judge, Hamilton, ON. Pine nose and carmelly sweetness, only a touch of nut. Delicious and clean and a well done hoppy brown.

This is a fantastic example of a brown ale. Though not as good as Scotch Irish’s Sgt. Major IPA, this is still an excellently balanced beer that has a great deal of bitterness and hoppiness, yet does not get overwhelmed by either. Not overly malty, yet it reveals some malt that is not always present in brown ales.

Sampled at the Arrow & Loon, Ottawa Dark copper, almost bronze red, with a clingy head. Grainy smell, the hops come through with a very herbal twang. Malty taste and just a little sweet at first, with an excellent bitterness and long mouthfeel. An good session brew.

Clear brown amber with tan foamy head. Roasted nutty coffee aroma. Smooth dry bitterness, so much so it almost evaporates in the mouth. Dry vanilla, toffee and woody nut flavour with a woody after-taste. An acquired taste that I have yet to acquire.
