amber pour, very small thin head, that didnt last very long. Aroma is quite malty, no maple to speak of. Flavour is again, malty, but not a good malt, a cheap tasting malt. Finish is bitter but in a bad way. No way did i taste any maple, all i tasted was bad beer. Drain pour.

Wow, very nice! the vanilla really comes out, its subtle, but its there in a big way. very smooth, and the coffee, and smokiness of the porter are still very detectable, superb!

i recall it looking good, and having and aroma of grains, and malt.
flavour was bitter, definite hoppiness to it. nice biscuity malt in the background.

nice stubby bottle.
very dark borwn color, nice head.
aroma is piney, with a strong malt backbone. flavour is the same, pretty thin though.
nothing special really.

orange, amber color. some hops in the aroma, but its faint, more malt than i would expect from an IPA, the bitterness is there, but i’m missing the floral citrus of the hops i would come to expect. i think this beer has gone downhill over the years, I’ll stick with the tankhouse in the Toronto area.

Draft: Poured a yellow color ale with a nice large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry citrusy hops notes with light malt notes. Taste is also a mix of dry citrusy hoppy notes with clean malt notes and bitter finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Standard APA with some bitterness.
