Sweet caramel malts, burnt sugar, and some wet grass. Flavor is just more of the same. Another mediocre beer.

Lightly hazy brown coloured body with a touch of tan head. Aroma of light nuts, a touch of caramel and some earth - odd. Medium-bodied; Funky cardboard flavour with a bit of nuts and earth and a touch of spice in the mix, but mainly malty and cardboardie with some metallic twangs. Aftertaste shows bright nuts, malt, cardboard, toffee and not much else worth writing. Overall, not such a great beer, but worth trying for me since i’ve never seen this in the states. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from the LCBO in Summerhill (North Toronto), Ontario, Canada on 11-October-2009.

Originally rated January 2010. Little special from Trafalgar for Halloween 2009 at the LCBO. Best before date on bottle says January 2010, so right on time. Wow... hardly no head (like a beheaded corpse) with a dark caramel-red colour body. Mild aromas of nuts, brown sugar, coffee and chocolate and this is the best part of this brew. Watery mouthfeel and boring (as in flat). The taste is quite mild with burnt sugar, caramel and the coffee, but like I say... pretty, pretty mild. Could be a nice brew, but needs head and way more punch. For next Halloween maybe ??

A clear brown ale with a thick off white head. In aroma, strong butterscotch, boiled veggies, off. In mouth, treacle mouth with light acidic notes, herbaceous hops, amateurish and lifeless. Tasted Jan. 30 2010.

This Ale poured a deep brown colour with next to no head. To the nose there are scents of ripe fruit, sweet brown malts and nuts. Firts taste was quite watery. Flavours of malt and next to no hopp at all. Smooth but lacking in solid flavour. Finish has a little bit of hopp bitterness but not much. This isn’t a bad beer but its kind of lifless.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear brown color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of unrefined and stale grain is not very enticing. Taste is also dominated by stale grain with some light residual sugar. Noe ester or hops presence could be identified. Body is about average with medium carbonation. No brewing flaws per say but just an incredibly bad brown ale.
