A darkest brown ale, Cheeky Bastard pours with a
thick blanket of tan head that fades pretty quickly. It has a fairly
sweet nose, with malt and mocha notes leading the way. With a flavour
that tends toward chocolate and latte, CB displays a smooth and soft
mouthfeel.
I’m interested in session-friendly
stouts, and that’s an area I’ve found wanting in the Ontario craft
brewing scene. Nickel Brook’s Cheeky Bastard is a pretty good addition
to an underpopulated category. However, it should be said that the beer
is a bit too sweet to invite multiple cans in a single evening.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
