Mostly malt in the aroma but a little hops. Pours cloudy orange with ok lacing and some head. Pretty explosive initial carbonation, but it ends up being pretty flat. Finishes sour with a bite of tinny astringency. Pretty boring import for the lcbo.

Pours a real dark brown colour with very little red highlights. Big frothy mocha-coloured head with good retention and a little lace. Big cocoa nose with some earth notes and mild dark fruits. The taste is more on the roasted malts, but very smooth, not harsh. Just enough hop to balance some bitterness (dryness) that takes time to kick in, but does slowly. Goes down a little too well actually. Very, very nice !

500ml bottle [Thanx David!]. Cloudy amber colour with huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly cautious piney hop aroma, caramel malty basis. Taste is robust malty, minimal sweetness, a touch of biscuit, slightly bitter hoppy overtones, resin, pine, sweat, a touch of citrus; prickling carbonation, lasting malty finish with hints of husk, dust, scratching the edge to smoky. Nice composition with strengths on the malty side.

Very dark brown. Thin head. The aroma is rich syrupy chocolatey goodness. Soft chocolate body but with some earthy, tarry overtones and fudgey undertones. The finish is earthy, rooty bitterness. Great balance and complexity.
