Label Reads: "the devil made me brew it!", "666 Kilograms of Malt. 6.66 Kilograms of Hops. 66.6 Minutes of Boiling. 6% ALC/VOL. 6.6.06 DATE OF CONCEPTION. From Toronto's oldest craf brewery comes this delicious and robust and flavourful ale. Brewed with 6 select malts and 4 premium hops, it has a rich mahogany colour, reminiscent of early English pale ales. The wonderful hoppy aroma is revealed even before your first sip, followed by a hearty malty body, and culminating with a pronounced bitterness. Prepare yourself for a devilishly good time..."

Handwritten notes: Oooh... good night. A lovely bitterness and a huge malt backbone. You can still tell this is Canadian, but well done, boys. I am one who loves a good shtick. I suppose it would have been a stretch to have 6.66% alcohol. But, my comedy mantra is "commitment to the bit". I'm the kind of dude who'd be all cool for several years or decades and then throw a glass of water in your face in the middle of a McDonald's just to see what kind of reaction it would get. Childish? Perhaps. Funny? Yes. This beer has a caramel flavour roasted in the fiery depths of hades. Hallelujah! Er... I mean...
