This dark ale is a light, refreshing, and sessionable. Flavours of caramel, toffee, chocolate and nuts are complimented with Golding hops that add just the right amount of bitterness and a slight floral aroma. Paying homage to the East Van Crow.

Part of a flight at The Drake Eatery in Victoria, Vancouver Island on 14th August 2025. Dark brown with a beige wisp and collar on top. Malty front with a subtle sweetness before some hop action kicks in. Not rich or slick, it's body depth more akin to a Dunkel or Alt. Pleasant enough though.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours murky dark brown with beige head. Aroma has subtle toasted malts. Flavour has gently toasted malts, slightly herbal underneath. Not bad, but not very exciting.

Dark. Molasses with cocoa, sweet, caramel, light toasted malts. A bit too sweet for me. Full bodied. Decent.

Even when poured warm it comes out with a minimal soda-pop head. Lighter black body. Aroma of burnt barley and some plastics, fusels. Flavour is light burnt barley with some molasses sweetness. Watery on the mouth. This is not a good showing at all.
