Jan 28, 2010 330ml bottle from brewforia. Listed as Whistler Original Black Tusk Ale, from Whistler Brewing in B.C. Pours a dark brown color with a thick light beige head. The aroma is rich smoky caramel and malts. A sweet flavor; biscuit, caramel, light chocolate. Light smoke. Decent.

Jan 7, 2010 Pour is dark brown with white head. Aroma is slight chocolate and flavour profile kicks off with sweet malts with some chocolate and grainy coffee finish. Basically it is exactly as the beer describes itself which is refreshingly honest for a change!

Dec 10, 2009 Deep brown with a medium off-white head. Some lacing. Yeasty, grainy nose. Thin mouthfeel and unpleasantly sour finish. Mild hop flavor with notes of yeast. Not terrible (and not as bad I am making it sound) but not especially good either.

Oct 3, 2009 Bottle. Boured black with red tinge and medium beige head. Aroma is anything but subtle but is malty and powerful. Flavour is medium malty with a bitter edge and a bit of espresso. Lingering malt finish. Finish does not overpower but comes and goes.

Sep 21, 2009 Saw a bottle of this at Belmont Station in Portland OR and thought, "Sure. What the heck!". Colour... very dark brown with no head. Nose... faint roasted malt and some hops. Palate... thin, watery, some light roasted malt and faint hops, but not much to offer. If I lived in Kamloops, I’d want a much more robust ale than this, esp. from October to April!!

Aug 9, 2009 Draft @ BBF - I love when I ask what style the beer is based on the appearance, porter or stout, and the woman behind the counter says "No, it’s an ale." Than upon tasting you look at her like she’s the fucking idiot that she is, because it turns out to be a dark lager. Stupid volunteers.
Ahem, this beer is so damn overcarbonated, it is barely drinkable. Sour chocolate and grainy caramel maltiness are present here with some bitterness in the finish that is not at all pleasant. 2 enthusiastic thumbs down for this one.
