    The beer poured a hazy golden orange with a thin, rocky, tan coloured cap. The aroma light fruits, yeast, and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is yeast, hops, and a slight fruity sourness. A pretty good beer.

    The beer poured a dark brown with a thin, rocky, light brown coloured cap. The aroma was yeast, caramel, and dark malts. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is dark fruit, toffee, dark malt, and yeast. A very enjoyable beer.

    The beer poured a translucent golden red with a 2" generous off-white head that lasted. The aroma was caramel malt, grassy malt, and citrusy hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was nicely balanced between the malty sweetness, and the citrusy hop bitterness. Definitely enjoyable.

    I tried this beer on November 18, 2010 at "The Beerbistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark cocoa-cola brown with a thin tan head that lasted a few minutes. The aroma was Dark roasted malt, coffee, and anise. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, coffee, and cocoa. A good beer, but not great.

    Labelled as 'Corporal's Bitter Brown Ale'
    I tried this beer on November 9, 2010 after purchasing from the Queen's Quay LCBO in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy brownish gold with a thin white head (certainly not the rich mahogany colour described on the bottle). The aroma was grainy malt, ginger, and some floral hops. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was grainy malt, with citrusy hops, yeast, and spices...and I still have a ginger taste. I really enjoyed this beer. Appearance is marked down because brownish gold comes nowhere near mahogany! Had the side of the bottle not said 'mahogany.....it would have received a higher score!

    The beer pours a translucent reddish gold with a 2" tan coloured head that lingers. The aroma is citrusy hops, and sweet malt in behind. Hoppy lagers are almost always good. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is citrusy hops, light fruits, and cereal malt. Very enjoyable and easy drinking beer.

    The beer poured a translucent red-hued golden colour with almost no head. A white ring and heavy effervescence persisted throughout. The aroma was milky sugar, grains, and floral hops. The flavour was grainy malt and some weak hoppy tones. An alright beer, but nothing spectacular.

    330ml stubby bottle
    4.5% ABV
    I tried this beer on November 9, 2010 after purchasing from the Queens Quay LCBO outlet. The beer poured a very dark brown, almost black, with a huge brown bubbly head. The aroma was roasted malt, nuts, dark chocolate, and molasses. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with high carbonation. The flavour was very sour with hints of chocolate and roasted malt - in fact, the sourness lingers.

    The beer poured a hazy golden colour with a loose bubbly white head that lingers. The aroma yeast, grainy malt, and metal....although not foul smelling. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is graint malt, light fruit, soime yeasty notes, and a bitter finish.
