2005 bottle that I picked up in Montreal based on the Montreal crew’s recommendation. Weak, watery and transparent brown color, no head. Aroma: Wow, it’s moments like this that you live for. . .Pure vegetables, tin, dusty yeast and kind of like licking a big piece of cold metal. But the vegetables definitely take front seat. Cucumber, zuchhini and I don’t even know what else. This is like labbatt blue, only not even that good, with brown coloring added, and a little bit of table sugar added as well. Horrible veggies taste, zesty cardboard and more DMS than you would believe possible. Weak, syrupy/watery body. Should be renamed Labatt Vegetable. Cheers!

Poured a pitch-black color ale with very little head or carbonation. Aroma is quite sweet with some trace of chocolate also noticeable. Taste is quite enjoyable at first with sweet chocolate being easily detectable. The only problem here is that there is nothing else thereafter: no bitterness or roastiness. Also, after a couple of sip, the sweetness becomes overwhelming, a bit too much of artificial flavour I believe. Anyway, better then most products Labatt brews.
