Crap. You live in Edmonton? Don't bother. I personally think as of about 2 years prior to the date of this review that this beer had possibly went bad, and now, possibly just being sold to clear out their warehouse because it's obvious that no one would purchace this knowingly twice. Reminds me of Hakim Stout, which was also quite putrid and undrinkable. I grimmaced at the smell as well as every chug. It's only redeemeing quality is that it tastes like coaco puffs - which should not exist in beer form.......and molassess. I feel pain - very harsh. Mouthfeel is along the lines of cotton. Tates like juice your mom made when you were young camping with 2 times the acceptable ammount of water. Tongue was cold - either from the beer being cold or the fact that the taste buds all rejected further abuse. Sour. Gets worse. If you have to try this, taste once and huck out the window from well above the pavement. Very low quality. How this company can put out quality beer or brutal beer with no inbetween is a mystery.

My god this is barely a stout, Yet another example of Alley Kat doing a crapy custom beer. Chat O has a reddish brown hue that lets light penetrate very easily with no head at all. The smell is the only part of this beer that is enjoyable; it had the smell of cookie doe, with milk chocolate and vanilla high lights very desert like. The flavor is non-existent, I had to try real hard to get any kind of taste out of it, and what could be detected was of weak coffee and burnt chocolate. This was very disappointing with no complexities to it, but really since it had no flavor it couldn't taste bad. Don’t waist your time or money on this one.
