473ml can. Pours a clear red-brown with a small, short lived, beige head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, chocolate, nuts and a hint of vanilla. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and nuts with a slightly bitter coffee finish. Light body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Ok.

Bought the random big 1 liter with the swing top. For just less than $10 for a liter is not bad, hopefully it’s worth trying. Pours a dark coke colour, clear with a little tan head that nearly disappear in no time at all. Smells good. Roasted malts, molasses and a little vanilla. Taste comes off a little thin, coffee, burn toast, little bitter hops. So this beer is Meh. Might be perfect for my Dad who doesn’t want any challenge in what he drinks, and that swing top will make him feel all fancy, but it just doesn’t cut it for his beer-snob son.

Canette 500 ml. De couleur brune foncée et quasi-opaque. Nez de malt rôti, de chocolat noir, léger de caramel toffee et de noix avec des traces de fruits foncés (cerises noires, mûres, notes de prunes). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse. Notes de fruits foncés (notes de cerises noires et de prunes) avec quelques traces de vanille lors de l’entrée en bouche rapidement suivi d’un goût de malt rôti (faibles notes brûlées), moyen de chocolat noir avec des petites notes de caramel toffee et puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût sec de noix. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de rôti, léger de chocolat noir et de noix grillées avec de très faibles notes fruitées.

Good litter bite of bitterness on the end. Fairly high carbonation for what’s described as a traditional English ale on the can though. Nonetheless, it’s good enough.

This looks like some venerable Ontarian product from ancient "sous-Canada" which I should be aware of, somehow, though I’m not from Ontario. It looks like many, many grandfathers have gotten plenty drunk on this brew throughout the ages, but it’s completely foreign to me. It is a copper-brown colour with a really decent head as far as a canned brew goes. The aroma is soft artifical barley-ness that is certanly appealing but tips you off right away that it’s a macro. Flavour is chocolate and coffee in a fake manner; yet that doesn’t bother me too much. This is an unabashed macro, but highly drinkable, and worth seeking out.
