6 pack from the lcbo. Dark ruby pour, no head. Sift aroma of sweet malts and stale bread. Flavor was sweet and malty and a quick dry finish. Its not awful but its pretty boring. Just a malty macro ale.

Canette 473ml. De couleur cuivrée foncée et claire. Nez de caramel, moyen de grains de malt aux notes rôties, léger de fruits (agrumes, traces de raisins rouges et de canneberges) avec des notes de houblon herbeux et de faibles traces de fumée de bois. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture aux notes huileuses et crémeuses. Notes fruitées (agrumes, traces de prunes et de raisins) accompagné de faibles notes fumées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de caramel aux notes rôties avec des petites notes de biscuits puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) avec des traces de noix grillées. Post-goût moyen et aux notes asséchantes, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des notes fumées et des petites traces rôties.

Limited release in cans or 6-pack in Quebec, now available at the LCBO. Pours a clean amber colour with and off-white head that is decent in size, has good retention and lacing with active carbonation. Dark malts aromas come out at first pour but then, it turns a little sweet, with mild caramel and notes of fruits (oranges) and some hints of hop. The taste is pretty malty (a little grainy) with some light bitterness from the hops. Unfortunately, I much preferred this one from the bottle as I could taste some smokiness to it (as opposed to the can poured in a Keith’s glass to do this review). Not bad and do prefer this one over all of their other brews (except their Traditional Lager).
