A personal favourite. Great pub style pint. Sweeter than the average dark ale.

Wow so I wasn’t expecting this. Ruby pour. Some hops on the nose. Darker malts as well. Creamy mouthfeel. Amazing taste. A great mix of sweet malts with the spice of hops. Leaves a pleasant aftertaste as well. Superb.

What a misnomer ’Traditional’ is...it could be taken to mean standard, boring, run-of-the-mill, and Traditional is none of these. There’s nothing like a Trad after working outside on a hot Albertan afternoon. Tastes best with friends.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 opiate (199) - Sandy, Utah, USA - DEC 7, 2003
My dad brought me a bottle of this when he returned from a recent business trip.
Pretty good pick considering the fact that he doesn't drink. This is what I'd call a "salt of the earth" type of beer. A very solid beer. Very little to complain about. I mean...it's got a great balance of malt and hops. It's a pretty beer. Very clean tasting. Sure...it doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" of some Belgian beers or Imperial Stouts. But this is a solid beer. This is my definition of a terrific "every day" beer!

This beer pours a clear reddish copper and has a nice white creamy head. Scents are of caramel and malts. The initial taste consisted of sugar, caramel and medium roasted malts. The flavour finish is of a slightly sweet/bitter taste and a smooth malty palate. One of my favs from Big Rock!

This is an interesting one! If you didn’t know any better, you might think you were drinking ICED TEA! That’s not a negative!!! This is definetely one of the most imaginative brews to come along in a long while. It’s different for sure and when it comes to trying new things, different is a good thing!

Excellent flavor with a nice aroma. Great with meats and great to use in sauces...a little fake in the in the true sense of dark ales but its nice because you can drink more than a couple
