October 26, 2019<br> LCBO Outlet #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge Eglinton Centre)<br> 330ml bottle with case<br> 9.0% ABV<br> Bottle #972 of 4344<br> Best Before: July 31, 2022<br> $4.95<br> &#36;4.95&#60;br&#62; The beer pours a very foamy pour. And it takes 5 or so minutes to settle down. Once settles, the beer is a translucent dark copper colour with a HUGE bubble tan coloured head which lasts. The aroma is molasses, whisky, roasted malt, and caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is alcohol, smoked wood, peat, caramel, and leather. A lot of barrel, not a lot of Scotch ale. Not a favourite of mine.

The aroma is fruity and grainy with hunts of musty hops and funky yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, puckering with average carbonation. The flavour is very tart, with hints of grains and a bitter finish. I’ve had gooseberry jam a few times, and this beer brings back those memories….they’re not good ones&#33;

Effervescence and lacing are minimal. The aroma is light cereal grains, weak herbal hops, and apple notes. The mouthfeel is light bodied, but under-carbonated. There were some weak grains and a light bitterness in the taste, but for the most part, it tasted like sandy beachwater from Canadian Maritimes.

The aroma is grainy malt, bread, yeast, and some funk. Mouthfeel is weak to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy, but with a slight sour twist. There is a definite hop bite finish however. The funk in the aroma and the sourness in the taste are a little off-putting, but aside from that, it’s not as bad as a Coors product would be expected to be,

The head lasts a while but there is no lacing. The aroma is dominated by sweet mango notes with wheat, cereal, and light spices in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the mango and the wheat and the loser was my tongue. There is a bitter flavour I can’t put my finger on but it kills the beer.

Not a beer I’ll try again anytime soon.

The head is chocolate brown, creamy, and half an inch thick. Lacing is generous. Aroma is dark chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee, and vanilla. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation, a little weak for the style. This is a bitter beer. There is a little sweetness, but for the most part the coffee and hops give this a bitter finish.

Again, nothing that strays from a typical hard cider.
