    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)

    The beer pours a translucent dark copper colour with a thin white ring for a head. The aroma is caramel, grains, and some earthy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is roasted malt, weak caramel sweetness, and a metallic bitterness in the finish.

    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
    November 1, 2013
    The beer pours a translucent reddish-brown colour with a generous light brown head that quickly dissipates into a this ring. Aroma is roast, caramel, nuts, and weak earthy hops. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is slightly acidic and sharp. Roasted malt and caramel notes also apparent - but the acidic grab at the start does this in.

    King/Spadina LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
    November 1, 2013
    The beer pours a solid black colour with a half inch tan coloured head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate. All well defined. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour mirrors the aroma, and there is a dryness to it. A very good stout, nothing spectacular, but nothing at fault, either.

    Moxie's Downtown Toronto (Toronto, Ontario, Canadsa)

    The beer pours a translucent red with a 1" tan coloured head that laces well. The aroma was caramel, nuts, and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was caramel, slightly sweet, with some metallic notes. Overall, not a bad beer.

    The beer pours a hazed straw gold colour with a rocky white cap that lasts and laces well. The aroma is pumpkin, spices, funk, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is metallic pumpkin, grains, and weak spices. Smells much better than it tastes in my opinion...too metallic, not enough funk.

    The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a huge off-white head and ample effervescence. The aroma is yeast, citrus, spices, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is lemony citrus, yeast, spices, and grains.

    The beer pours a translucent Indian Red colour with a thin tan head that lasts. Aroma is caramel malt, grains, and weak herbal hops with metallic notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet malt, caramel, weak coffee and tinny notes. Not a great purchase.

    The beer pours a hazed rust colour with a decent sized tan coloured cap kept alive by copious effervescence. The aroma is rye, caramel, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is sweet malt, some hoppish bitterness with a spicy finish. Quite good.

    The beer pours a slightly translucent orange brown colour with a generous tan head that lasts a while. Highly effervescent. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, and caramel with only a hint of hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. Flavour is on the bitter side with notes of burnt pumpkin, spices and caramel. Another solid beer from Renaissance.
