Hazy amber color, medium sized creamy head. Light caramel aroma, stronger caramel flavor, correct bitterness; there is a grassy aroma too, later some very light nice hop appears. Unexciting.

Brown color. Light aroma, not interesting, almost cardboard. Caramel flavor, no Cream here... Boring.
2008-07-16, draught at Steamworks (?), 5-3-5-2-10=25
Nice light brown color. Light aroma of Asian kitchen (?). It has just a plain favor, caramel and roasted malt, dry mouthfeel, dirty water? No interest.

Black, small tan head.Salty, lightly roasted nose.Lightly roasted profile, mocha mid, medium bitterness in finish. Tinny overtones that amplify as it warms. Thin and underflavored. Not a good effort. Tap version slighlty better has no tinny overtones.6-3-5-2-12

Cask, GCBF
Hazy amber-brown. Estery nose (apricot), some phenols (bubblegum), hints of brown sugar. Sweet palate. Finish has hints of spice and alcohol. Ap 3 Ar 7 Fl 7 P 4 O 13 = 3.4
Bottle, from Brewery Creek
Dull garnet colour with no head and large bubbles. Heavy bubblegum and light florals & raisins. Thinnish body for style. Vague phenols on the palate, some flat malts...this really didn’t translate to the bottle much. Ap 2 Ar 5 Fl 4 P 2 O 7 = 2.0

In practice, this beer was never as good as it was during the testing stage when I first had it. The current review reflects where the beer has basically been for most of its existence. Dark brown. Has a chocolate note, soft body, touch of sweetness but is actually a bit thin in the finish. Ok example
Original review, cask at the Whip, in August, 2007
Looks great - pitch black, nice head. Rich roasty aroma with chocolate, hints of nuts and muscovado sugar. Full, creamy body...just a gorgeous mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Chocolatey, lightly roasty, with light cream notes. Goes down so softly, but with complexity and balance. One of those beers you intend to drink two of but end up drinking ten of. 9 - 5 - 8- 4- 17 = 4.3

Pours without too much in the realm of the head. It has a really dark opper colour going for it. Smells totally sweet, like caramel. The flavour is for me really hard to describe, mostly because it is unlike most beers that I have ever had. I mean it is like sweet and all and pretty full. I think that it is good stuff overall... would drink it again I suppose.

Bottle from BC Liquor store. Amber/red colour with thin head. Moderate grapefruit hoppiness throughout. I quite like the malt/hop balance. Some toffee, but otherwise pretty average.

On tap at Stella’s Tap and Tapas Bar. Gold with thin white head. Served with a slice of lemon. Slightly hoppy aroma, bit like a lager in mouth, overly carbonated, some cereal/wheat. Short finish. Dull if refreshingly cold.
