Bottle (500ml - clear!). Poured a clear, thin-looking dark ruby-brown with an average light brown quick-diminishing head, decent foamy lacing left behind. Bread dough yeast, light chocolate and coffee dark roast malt, a hint of hops, little bit of sour cherry. Taste follows the nose exactly, but starts balanced milk chocolate sweet / hop bitter, finishes more hop bitter with coffee notes dominating. Incredibly thin mouthfeel, not creamy at all ... this is a stout???? Re-rate December 2007 (not clear bottle) - original score 6-3-5-2-12=2.8

High head, stiff and frothy, not creamy. The flavor is smooky and hints of coffee and chocolate. Hops are apparent and gives a nice bitterness. But it seems like a compromise. It’s not r e a l l y a stout, but okay. Wychwood has better brews.

Dark brown with a frothy tan head. Aroma is some hop, baking soda, notes of coffee and a bit skunky. Flavours are hickory salty and smoked salmon. Moderately dry finish.

Bottled. Fresh aroma, lightly hopped with a hint of butterscotch. Very dark brown color, brown head, fair lace. Blackcurrant, roasted, light sweet, blackberries in the finish. Sandy dry, medium smooth. Just a light stout and that’s it.

Couleur acajou aux reflets brun rouge. Cacao, chocolat et malt grillé en arôme. Malt sucré, vanille et foin en bouche. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, finale amère semblant provenir de l’acidité du malt torréfié, semble plutôt aqueuse. Stout ??? Bouteille, LCBO, Janvier 2005.
