355ml bottle <br> 4.8% <br> I tried this beer on December 20, 2007 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a dark translucent gold colour with a 0.5 inch white head. The aroma was very weak with some barely discernable hoppy notes. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with some mild carbonation. The flavour was alright with no strong overpowering flavours. Very drinkable, but nothing special.

473ml can <br> 6.5% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)<br> December 23, 2007<br> The beer poured a translucent gold colour with a generous white fluffy head which quickly disippated after pouring was complete. The aroma was vomit, pure unadulterated vomit. Had I not poured this myself, I don;t think I would have drank it. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, mild carbonation. The taste was better than the aroma. There was a definite hoppy taste. It was a very easy drinking beer, went down well.

Blueberries dominate the aroma, a good way. A little bit of sweet malt and not a lot else. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour definitely has hints of Scotch Ale in it as there is a definite molasses note, some sweet malt, graininess and a hint of blueberries. By the end of the beer, the alcohol was definitely noticeable in both the aroma and taste.

Some smoke comes through, and unfortunately so does the alcohol. Looks great, great body, but the rest of it just doesn't do it for me at this price point.
