Overall Impression:
Decent winter ale, with a toasty flavor, good effort I guess, but there’s something missing that makes it just not work quite right.

Feb 13, 2009 On tap at Heroes in Annapolis, MD. Dark brown with a thin tan head. Not too heavy, with a little bit of hops. A great beer to have 3 or 4 of on a night out at the bar. I’m not going to go on with details, I’ll just say I enjoy this beer very much.

Feb 8, 2009 Pours a dark brown with red highlights when held to the light and a creamy off-white head. Aroma is malty, rock candy sugar and chocolate, and a bit of white grape juice scent. Very interesting smell overall. The flavour found spices, coffee, dark chocolate, and some roast to it. Medium body with a coffee aftertaste. A strange, yet tasty, english strong ale.

Feb 1, 2009 In short: A basic sweet malted and slightly woody ale. A bit approximate-amateurish yet also rather pleasant
How: Bottles, tasting session with Montreal crew.
The look: Almost clear amber body topped by a small beige head
In long: Nose of toasted bread and some woody hops. Taste has the sweet malt upfront with a pie crust character followed by toasted bread with caramel, dry wood, some unexpected milk chocolate and everything ends with a decent amount of leafy hops. The beer feels imprecise, a bit off even, yet I found it inexplicably very drinkable. One of those little pleasure that cannot justify, like smelling the paper after whipping my ass.
