CapFlu (4023) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 15, 2004
(Bottle) Sampled at Winston’s on 21st Street East. Pours a thin, beige head and a deep brownish-red body. Nose of deep malt and mild apple. Flavour is full-on malt with undertones of apple and cherry. The alcohol is evident and keeps you from thinking common-macro. Pretty good!

Cavie (3407) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - JUL 17, 2009
Clear orange color. Light aroma. Some sense of rich malts. Tingles over the tongue. Nice taste. Full bodied but has good substance.

reebtogi (3383) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 22, 2011
341mL bottle poured a deep amber to brown color with moderate off-white head and small lacing. Aroma is roasted malts and hops. Taste is nicely balanced with roasted malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. The best that Big Rock currently offers in its lineup. Very enjoyable tasting experience.

Eyedrinkale (3213) - Astoria, New York, USA - FEB 5, 2004
Now dis shit packed some punch. Big bodied malty experience with a hint of banana. Mild malty finish and nice bitterness made this totally worth drinking.

patrick767 (3169) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - JUN 22, 2008
tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours copper with a thin head. It smells and tastes of sweet caramel malt and some light hops. There’s a light to medium body and while uncomplicated, it’s decent.

DougShoemaker (3148) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 8, 2002
Malt and hops aroma. Clear copper, big creamy vanilla head. Good malt and hop bitter flavour. Also tastes of whiskey. Good tongue tingle, very bitter. A tastey draught, feels stronger than 6.5%.

The decent malt nose promises more then it delivers in the taste, which is smooth and mellow.
