Had at the Koven with friends on our first visit there (and not the last). Pours a clear copper colour with a fizzy light beige head and minimal lacing. Coffee aromas over mild roasted malts and dark fruits. Light roasted malt flavours with a light bitter finish and just hints of coffee. Alright for a lighter alcohol content darker brew, but not much else going on other than that.

On tap at Craft Beer Market, Ottawa. Pours a very thin head and has a slightly dark amber appearance. Fairly weak lacing. Aromas of Flavours are actually somewhat bland, some toasted malt, a little bit of a smoky finish. Has a wet mouthfeel. It's alright.

On tap at Brothers Beer Bistro (Ottawa, ON). Dark brown body with ruby glints and an average off-white foamy head. Decent malty aroma with woody/grainy and chocolate hints. Its well balanced malty/hoppy taste carries woody, roasty, and brown sugar notes. Ends with a good bitter/woody finish. Not bad.

A reddish copper ale with a thin lacing light mocha head. In aroma, light caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, smooth. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light bodied, OK.
