Bottle from the Beer Store. Pours a very clear medium amber with a big fluffy tan head that quickly recedes. Nose is grass and grain with a little floral hops. Sweet start with mild citrus bitterness. Light to medium mouth with average carbonation. Nothing to make this stand out.

Thanks to Ron for this bottle. Pours a slight hazy light golden colour with a white head, decent retention and lots of thick soapy lace. Spicy aromas with some cinnamon and the soapy hops. Pretty close to the same for the taste, with just a tad of sweet malt in the background with the pumpkin puree. Feels like real ingredients, and not essences. Still, a little unbalanced to be a good pumpkin beer.

On tap at pub italia as dylans killer red. Smells off, a little swampy. Pours red without much head or lacing. Weird sour and light astringent aftertaste. Funky malt taste. Tap.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a very dark brown with a one finger beige head. Nose is chocolate and a peaty smoke. The smoke is definitely prominent but not overpowering. Sweet chocolate and caramel but also an underlying bitterness. Mouth is much thinner than the look would imply and maybe a litlle over carbonated. Quite nice overall,

Pretty decent. One of the better beers at C’est What’s cask festival, though there wasn’t really a lot of competition. Honey and oat come through very nice. Doesn’t look like a stout - pours cloudy brown with ok head and lacing. A little bitter with soft carbonation. Not much roast but some coffee.

Bottle - Roasted malts, peat and some chocolate. Jet black with a thin white head. Wow, all sweet peat, some smoke and some nice chocolaty malts. Although this is a peat BOMB, it is nicely balanced and doesn’t taste like I am sucking a barrel. I am a fan.
