I enjoyed a pint of this offering, produced by Toronto's Black Creek Historic Brewery, at the Halfway House, the pub at the Black Creek Pioneer Village. It was a not-quite-clear, reddish brown ale topped with a quickly thinning eggshell head. It features a nice, malt heavy aroma with brown sugar notes. The flavour is quite rich at the front end, with brown sugar and molasses the driving forces. There is not a lot of bitterness, and what bitterness there is is confined to the finish.

BCBA is none too shabby for an English-style brown ale. It's smooth with an interesting flavour. I'd like a bit more oomph, but otherwise I was quite satisfied. It made a lovely compliment to the chevre-filled bison burger that I enjoyed at the Halfway House.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
