Bottle - Light malts. Deep brown with a rich beige head. Light malty notes and highly carbonated. Too much carbonation and very singular in taste.

650mL bottle, pours a deep dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of toasted English malt, crusty bread and a touch of fruitiness. Flavour is fairly bitter, with toasted bready malt, some bitter hopping, and crusty rye bread. Dry, somewhat bitter, and toasty. Decent.

Dark nut brown. This has a medium head. On the nose, this is thin and nutty, not really a good look. You always want to pick up some nice sugars. Far too much carbonation, especially for something billed as English Ale. Thin, light brown sugar notes but not much nuance. Not a whole lot going on, unfortunately.

Purchased at a NSLC on my trip to Nova Scotia. Wow... what a beautiful smelling brew, with caramel, vanilla, hops, butterscotch, light cocoa and roasted nuts. Copper-amber colour with a huge beige head, very long lasting with thick lacing. The taste is not as crazy, but has decent hops creating some bitterness, with a mild dry finish. Soft and silky mouthfeel. Roasted malts linger in the aftertaste, burnt notes. This is really just 4.2% ABV ?! Quite nice for such a light beer.

This English ale poured a deep Amber colour with a nice tan head. Scents of caramel, light cocoa and a little coffee. First swig was smooth and rich with good roasty malt flavour and lots of caramel. Finish is a little bitter with malty goodness lingering.
