Bottle at the Rose & Crown, Banff. It pours clear amber, with a thin-medium off-white head. The nose is brown bread, toast, earth and light spice. The taste is caramel, toast, wood, leaf, strong malt backbone, leather and light spice, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad….

Part of the Mill Street Autumn Harvest Sampler with 3 of these (and 3 of the Nightmare on Mill Street). Pours a clean amber colour with a big frothy off-white head, great retention and loads of lacing. Mild caramel malt nose. The taste is slightly better than the aromas. Just more going on. Flavours that are fruity with notes of grain malts and just a tad of bitterness. Not the best for the style, but still, decent brew overall that goes down smooth.

Part of the Mill Street Autumn Harvest Sampler with 3 of these (and 3 of the Oktoberfest). Pours a copper-amber colour with a frothy off-white head, good retention and thick patchy lace. Decent aromas of pumpkin pies, with nutmeg and cinnamon spices, pumpkin purée and hints of malt. Crisp mouthfeel with not much there. The taste is a little deceiving. Mild with a little pumpkin and very little spices. Was expecting a bit more (as I like pumpkin brews). Love the name though.

Smells like malt fermented in an open vat in a swamp. Pours reddish brown, clear (obviously). No trace of hops, or if there is, it’s no hops I’ve previously encountered. Taste has a bitterness more akin to turpentine than any herb I know. Definitely stinks of a grade six science experiment gone wrong. Brutal. On tap at No Name bar.
