A chestnut-coloured English Mild Ale that boasts caramel, coffee and chocolate flavours and a balanced hop finish. Excellent drinkability and pairs well with hard cheeses.

11.5 oz bottle, from United Liquors, Frankfort. A chance to pop the cap on Manitoba for me. Has a nice "dark beer" smell, some raisin and caramel. Appearance is OK, light brown-egg head on a solid brown body, a touch of haze. Taste shades a bit toward the porter side, with a hint of toffee roast and dark Karo syrup--or maybe that’s as in cough syrup from the hop notes. Sometimes it smells highly alcoholic, other times it tastes like there very little joy juice to it. Very slight peat and cherry finish Seems to be a nice enjoyable session beer, maybe with a few more I could get excited.

Dark chestnut brown. Slight chocolatey aroma but overall light in both aroma and flavour. Just a slight hint of dark malt. Disappointing, as these guys are Manitoba’s flagship micro.

From Piscator. Clear dark burgundy brown ale with thin white head. Sweet caramel aroma with light oxidation notes. Sweet chocolate malt with light acidity and little hops, no nuttyness, too light for a brown ale.

Bottle: Poured a light brown beer with very low carbonation and therefore almost no head. Aroma is quite weak with almost no discernable malt. Taste is light and somewhat refreshing with some note of sweetness and malt. Overall, this is a beer that lack character and complexity and therefore is very average.

A medium Brown color, nice creamy head. Initial taste was very buttery followed through by a malty sour taste, followed by a dry nutty finish
