(500mL bottle from the LCBO) Pours cloudy dark brown with a big rocky tan head that faded slowly and left lace. Aroma of rich toffee, raisin, nuts, a bit of bread. Initial flavour toffee, caramel, raisin and prune, sweetish. Mid-palate has more chocolate malt, on the finish some brown sugar and a bit of anise. Finish lightly bitter, dry and somewhat metallic. Overly carbonated and light-moderate mouthfeel for the style. Not the freshest, but also not quite as rich as I hoped it would be.

My GF found this for me at the LCBO (not even in their system yet). Pours a very dark brown colour showing very little red highlights. Its head is deep beige, creamy and gives out good lacing. Nice blended cocoa aromas with roasted malt and vanilla to tones down things. Wet mouthfeel that felt thin at first, but starts getting some medium-body after the last pour. Mostly roasted malts for flavours with maybe a little hints of chocolate in the finish. Goes down easy for a stout, but was expecting more from this one.

Pours dark brown with a small foamy head. Aroma of caramely malts, some spices, hints of syrup, chocolate and earthy notes. Taste is sweetish with a lot of caramely malts, toffee, syrup, hints of chocolate and spices. Smooth, malty and sweetish finish with hints of caramel. Okay, quite well balanced Scotch ale.

Aroma has some cocoa and hints of toffee typical to English Ales. Flavour is dry with some cocoa and rather roasted malt. Palate is foamy and too high on CO2. Decent.
