Rich and robust, this moderately hopped ale balances dark and chocolate malt flavours with an earthy finish. Brewed in Prince Edward County, using only malted barley, hops, yeast and water.

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for $2.95 CDN.
Appearance - Pours dark cola brown, and with a finger plus of light brown head. Good retention and some streaky lacing.
Smell - Grainy with some earthy and nutty undertones. Suggestion of caramel and molasses.
Taste - Earthy with middling bitterness. Caramel, nuts and even molasses are in play here too. Not super complex but with some sophistication and good execution.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied and on the lighter end carbonation-wise. Somewhat chalky dry finish.
Overall - Better than I expected, and quite good to see this underbrewed style on local shelves. Worth a peek.
