Traditionally, British soldiers fighting in the defense of the Canadas were provided with a beer ration. Virtually every garrison has a brewery for a close neighbour. The beer usually suppled to the troops was a brown, unfiltered ale, served fresh from the barrel and consumed at room temperature.

The beer poured a transparent brown colour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, and nuts. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour was similar to the aroma profile with more sweetness coming through than expected. -

Third brew from this brewery that I get from the LCBO. Pours a clean dark amber colour with a foamy light beige head. Average retention, but decent lacing. Great nose that I did not expect (being a brown ale). Coffee and roasted malt with hints of nuts at first. Then, some fruits and butterscotch. Silky wet mouthfeel with a medium-light body. Again but milder, roasted malts and nutty with notes of toasts. Very light hop appears in the finish (tasting like apples) to balance things. Quite a nice easy-drinking brown ale (and I am not a big fan of this style).

Bottle: Poured a clear copper-brown ale in the pint glass. Modest 1 fingr rocky cap has short retention, very fizzy carbonation. Nose is soft but pleasant - some sweetness, some roasty-toasted cereal tones, grassy hops. Rush of crystal and amber malts in front, balanced well with resinous hops, clean finish goes slightly bitter with more roast comming through. A decent Brown ale much to colonial fashion (lacks the nutty-sweet rounded refinment of a northern Tyne Brown ale). Servicable but not spectacular.
