Poured from a growler fill. First impressions are that this beer is fantastic if you're into brown style/English ales.
Look: Clear, dark copper colour. Very similar to proper English ales and bitters. Pours with a thick head which quickly disappears.
Smell: Mostly raisins, malty goodness with some dark bread hints like pumpernickel or rye grains. Very earthy in a good way.
Taste: This is reminiscent of a fresh poured English ale with lots of malt flavours and minimal bitterness.
This is a great beer for rainy, chillier days or in the winter time. It's not exactly a refreshing beer for mowing the lawn. If you like Oldman River's St.Joe's Abbey Brown, I think you'll really enjoy this one.

473ml can - this is a collaboration of sorts with something called '24-2 Draft Horses', which is apparently an agricultural cooperative in Lacombe, Alberta. Each horse deployed got their own label, and mine is named Duke. Solid.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some patchy Swiss cheese pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some earthy nuttiness, a bit of bruised pome fruit, and very faint leafy, herbal, and floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, baked red apples, oily bar-top nuts, some damp minerality, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta malt showing its lingering moxie.
Overall - I like the angle that they took with this latest exhibit of 'farm to glass' brewing, in going even farther by including the farm workers themselves (at least the 4-legged kind). I don't really know what a 'stock ale' is, but this is a competently malty offering, with just a touch of warming. Well done, Duke!
