    I tried this beer on March 18, 2011 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a clear pale gold with a this white ring for a head. The aroma was grainy malt, floral hops, sour cream, and weak fruits. The mouthfeel was meddium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, milk, weak hops, ad a hint of sweet fruit. The 'milky' aroma and taste is a turn off!

    600ml bottle
    7.5% ABV
    I tried this beer on March 18, 2011 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. One of the ingredients is 'Canadian' maple syrup. Not just any maple syrup, but 'Canadian' maple syrup. The beer poured a solid black colour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, milk chocolate, and some spice. The mouthfeel was full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet, choclatey, with hints of coffee and vanilla. A very well done stout.

    The beer poured a solid black with a short-lived tan coloured head. The aroma is roasted malt, nuts, and coffee...very very similar to the 16 Year Old version. Mouthfeel is full-bodied, creamy, with medium carbonation. The flavour is smoke, roasted malt, nuts, coffee, and again finished with the taste of whiskey. I really can't tell a difference between the 16 and the 18 (aside from the $1.00 in price)....both are very good beers.

    The beer poured a clear gold colour with a short-lived thin white head. The aroma was sweet grainy malt, weak hops, and unknown foul smells. The mouthfeel was weak bodied/hollow, with mild carbonation. The flavour was corn, sweet malt, and gunky tasting stuff. Quite sickening actually.
