Bottle at Bolime tasting 3/2016. Aroma nutty, chocolate, toffeeish caramel. Clear copper colour, small short lasting head. Taste is surprisingly rich for a 5% ABV beer. Fully malty, nuts, chocolate, caramel. Rather thin, easy drinking.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy dark amber color. Classic lame Amber Ale, focus on the color and not the flavor, with light coffee touch; light residual sweetness, a bit of caramel. Not bad, but very boring.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is fruity and syrupy, with caramel, red fruits, and some cough syrup. Flavour is similar, with bready malts and caramel. Not very certain what they were going for here. Not good.

22 ounce bottle into pine glass, bottled on 3/26/2015. Pours fairly crystal clear light reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, light dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hop, and light fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, light dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of chocolate, cocoa, caramel, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, light nuttiness, light dark fruit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, balance, and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast notes; with a good bitterness/sweetness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly creamy/bready/chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good English brown ale style. All around good complexity, balance, and robustness of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
