Crafted in collaboration with our friends at Great Lakes Brewing from Toronto, buckets of black malt give this beer a deep earthy-brown colour and a huge body. Generous portions of bittering hops add balance and tip the flavour profile definitively to the hoppy side of the scale, while Belgian yeast endows the collaborative brew with a slightly spicy undertone.

    From Value-On, in a bomber. "Extra Strong Ale" extols the label; it IS 9.1% ABV. Black pour, creamy tan head with a ring. Seriously different aroma, puzzling almost, an intriguing mix of pine and malt with some smokiness as well. Flavour was malt, dark chocolate, and hops. So unlike just about any other beer. Rich, smooth mouth. Not particularly sweet, just damned tasty right to the finish. I'd better bring in another one of these.
