Deep brown color with reddish hue in the light. Thin white head. Slightly oxidized nose but generally clean otherwise. Sweetish flavors. Quite thin and watery.

I tried this beer on February 14, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a reddish-brown with a very thin whitish coloured head. The aroma was malty, with some caramel sweetness. The mouthfeel was light, almost watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour is mainly malty, with a slight sweetness that gives way to some bitterness.

341 ml bottle. pours very dark redbrown with a medium tan head that fades quickly. lots of very tiny bubble carbonation. aromas very small but consist of dark malts, caramel, a touch of chocolate, barley. flavours are exactly like the aromas and also very thin and watery. not bad for a lager but overall forgetable.

341 mL bottle. Dark mahogany brown with a small beige head (fades quickly to a ring). Mild aroma of plums and prunes, some sweetness. The flavour is quite mild - sweet, some nuttiness, not really any roast. Not much there. Thin body (not dry at all) and medium carbonation. Okay. Not bad.

Tap at C’est What? Deep amber beer with a very creamy white head. Fruity aroma of berries and light cherry/plums. Light nutty sweetness. Nutty malts and a lingering fruity finish. Not very lagerish to me.
