This mahogany coloured beer has a caramel malt bouquet accompanied by the light aroma of hops. The caramel malt taste sails wonderfully into the mouth alongside a fruity taste brought about by a trio of hops.

[1] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/9/2006 10:24:35 AM)
"Sampled March 8/06 off cask. First impression was this beer's dark colour, a deep brown in most angles, slightly lighter shades at others. Some medium head. Very typical cask mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Some notes of cask in the aroma and taste which added a welcomed character. Flavour was in many respects empty, lacking any solid definition and not all that tasty enough to be considered a good session. It's one area of strength was a medium-bodied bitterness, which would smack your taste buds when going down the back of your throat. Good choice of hops that left the beer with a considerable lasting finish. Overall however, nothing higher than average - at best. "

"07.09.05, 07.11.05 Cask at brewpub, RBSG. Sparkling clear copper brown. Mineral and flower buds, I found this to be a mood improving tonic. Very floral, perhaps too sweet but nice sharp finish. Mineral feel coats rof of mouth. Head lasts to bottom. Beautiful beer."

"This one poured with an adequate head that laced, but didn't sustain well. Mouthfeel was lacking carbonation (cask). Aroma was of a slighly floral scent, but the flavor was an excellent blend of maltiness with only mild bitterness (somewhat cedar or wood-like). Very tasty."
