Description
In 1984, we were the first craft brewers in Ontario. With a dedication to precision, detail and pure ingredients, we were – and still are – making the kind of beer we’d choose to drink ourselves. As Ontario’s first craft brewer, we look back to the past with pride and are excited for the future.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber copper with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of caramel malt, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, honey and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Lacks character.

A very sweet, malt dominant beer. Less \"IPA like\" than Keiths. Not offensive, but also not an IPA as we know it today.

It's not bad..... It's really tasty, sweet guava notes, sweet lime zest. It's just not a radler. This is alcoholic juice. There are. No signs of beer anywhere in here.

Aroma is upfront cinnamon, pie crust, light vanilla. Soft roast, caramel, hints of coffee. I'm actually impressed here. This was awful. Seminsweet, medium bitter cinnamon pie crust notes with roasty porter notes.

Black pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is sour milk, baileys and a weird apple fruitineas. Mouth feel is good, carb is very thin. Finish is milky, sour cream, off milk, and a weird fake sweetness. Not good.

Can from the LCBO. Aroma is vanilla laced chocolate cake mix, with subtle hints of coffee. Mouth feel is thin, carb is also soft. Finish is lightly bitter, a bit thin, subtle roast, semi sweet vanilla. It's all over the place.

Can from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, medium beige head. Aroma is boxed chocolate cake mix, with hazel nut extract. Good mouth feel, solid carb. Low bitterness, fake cocoa sweetness, with a semi dry hazelnut cake mix finish. Not awfu, but I won't be going back.

Burnt brown sugar, espresso, light spice, earthy barrel, and wood notes. Calling this an Imperial stout is a joke. A mediocre stout, with flavourings added.
