Bright amber. Light berryish fruitiness with toasty maltiness. Slight toast character. Thoroughly uninteresting.

A golden lager with a thick lacing white head. A crisp caramel malt aroma with light restrained hops, lightly floral. In mouth, a smooth crisp malt, with light chalkyness, and sustained British hops. Medium bodied. On tap at Wellington Gastropub, Sept. 30 2008, 5.50$ pint.

Reddish - and a bit of brown. Earthy aroma with hints of pine. Very earthy, rich, slightly woody, slightly lemony taste. Nice brew.

Reddish-brown and muddy. Balsamic, woody, with a slight red currant fruitiness and brown sugar notes. Tart front gets sweeter but is fairly dirty, like sawdust with some pedio. Alcoholic dryness comes in late. Lots of hop - you get this long, pithy bitterness and some leafy character. Quite an interesting brew, but finishing a pint is way too much work.

On tap at Volo in Toronto. Malty, chocolate and caramel flavor. Sweet, with a bit of dark fruit and port. Nice, malty mild. Well done.

Golden-amber with a thin head and nice sparkle. Full malty aroma with light caramel accents. Rich, chewy, with pale munich malt, toasted biscuits and earthy caramel. Dry, woody, earthy finish.

Bright golden. Herbal aroma with light diacetyl. More of the same on the palate, the hop bite remaining somewhat modest. Sweet and biscuitty malts. Fairly dry finish, again with diacetyl.

Dark amber-brown. The aroma is of nuts, diacetyl, and soft sugary malt. Smooth, nutty palate with some milk chocolate and toffee notes. Good dark malt complexity and thankfully the diacetyl never amounts to much.

This ale poured a black colour with a nice creamy tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of ripe fruit, coffee, dark malt and a little cocoa. First taste was smooth but a little watery. Flavours of coffee and roasted malt with a little smoke thrown in. Finish is roasty with light flavours of coffee presant. This is the fourth time having this beer and they are not consistant. Although, out of 4 I have had only one that was over yeasted tasting like a Belgian.

This Pils poured a clear light yellow colour with a big bright white head. To the nose there is scents of corn, yeast and grain. First taste was smooth and filled with corn flavour. The finish was slightly hoppy and a little sweet. Kind of generic but pretty good.
