Can. Medium brown, just a bit of haze. No head. There's some coffeeish notes in the aroma, maybe toffee, bit woody. On the palate, medium body, lowish bitterness, and a balance of toasty, cocoa malts. The impression I get is of old school BC - more Nelson After Dark than anything I'd get from Torchlight. You get those couple of basic malt notes, but the beer overall doesn't have a lot of residual sugar (or body), but also lacks bitterness. That puts it squarely in the old school best of no worlds, timid, 'doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up' type of pocket. Surprised people still brew this type of thing - it was always a weakness that BC had compared with the rest of the world and I guess it still is.

Soft caramel on the nose, has mellow brown body with little foam. Flavour is weak caramel and molasses, mouthfeel is full anyway. It's clean, well brewed but comes across as so very boring.

On tap at Torchlight, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, with some red fruits and earthy notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with red fruits, earthy notes, and bready malt. Fruity and malty. It's alright.
