Draught @ YVR. I probably haven’t had this in 20’years. Bright, amber-brown. Nutty aroma, with a hint of caramel. On the palate, nutty, light toffee notes. Fairly clean. Not bad. All the changes in ownership of the brand and it seems like the beer itself hasn’t changed at all. A BC classic even I forgot about.

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown-amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild aroma of caramel malt, nuts, dark chocolate, ash and earthy hops. Semi-sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate, raisin, nuts and earth with a dry, mild, bitter coffee finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and soft carbonation. Boring.

Clean and light on the palate. Very mellowed out brown ale flavours. Low body is okay because of the low bitterness. Vancouver airport. 3.4 april 2017 ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Drank again from sk LB. clean and light, agree with above

On tap. Pours a clear dark brown with light persistent head. Aromas of light roasted malts and sugary coffee. Flavors of sweet roasted malts, a bit of grain, and light coffee. Mild, inoffensive and easy to drink.

Bottle thanks to Kurt and Erin! Pours a very dark brown with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of dark grains and light roast with a slight astringency. Flavor is different with a bit more of a sweet dark grain note, some toffee and a light biscuit note.

Draft - Dark fruit, raisin and chocolate. Deep maroon with a decent light brown head. Taste of raisin and cocoa with a nice sweetness. Not bad for a mild, although a touch on the rich side and abv is a bit high.

The best part of this is the faint trace of smokiness, but even that isn’t well integrated. Pours dark clear brown (you know what I mean), without much head or lacing. Average carbonation. Finishes a little sour with an unreachable ideal of hops present. On tap at The Beagle Pub.
