Unfiltered, fresh from the bright tank before kegging: Increadible shimmering Orange-burnished gold color....rich frothey 3 finger meringue cap that lasted the drink and laced up the glass. Aromas of unripe apricots...a hint of citrus over sweet spiciness. Rich malt body, creamy mouth feel, almost perfectly balanced character. Starts rich with chewy caramel and bready malts then the fruity tones appear with the spicey hops to totally balance the taste...mid palate you detect more complexities from the malt mixture and get deeper peach tones from the esters...finish is pleasnatly bitter with a biscuity presence....light bready after taste with some metallic lingering. This is a really flavorful and comforting ale but very drinkable...perfect for sessions.

On tap at Chaucer’s Pub in London, Ontario.Pours deep mahogony, and is topped with a thick foamy beige cap, that sticks and lasts. Aromas are fairly malty, english hops, rye bread, and a touch of tin. Flavours are sweet malt, dark bread, some hops to back up the malt. FInishes slightly bitter, pretty creamy, smooth mouthfeel. The only drawback is a slight metallic flavour in the finish. A step up from their other beers. I like it. Thanks for getting this one in Milos!
