341 mL bottle. Copper-red with minimal head. Weak and sweetish aroma of dried fruit - prunes and dates. Sweetness lingers throughout (not overly sweet), with just a hint of bitterness at the end. Finishes quickly. Not a lot else, though. The best beer I’ve had from Big Rock. Similar to Newcastle Brown.

Light amber color. Light and dry caramel flavor. Correctly bitter. Too simple and boring.

Jun 22, 2008 tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours amber with a mild caramel malt aroma. It tastes light, sweet, and creamy. It’s a little water. This beer is smooth and easy drinking with some flavor that at least puts it well above your typical macro suds.

Mar 31, 2008 I can’t believe i haven’t rated this before! i used to drink on a semi regular basis. Its a pretty middle of the road, maybe even sub par brown ale. Wattery, and thin like most fo the Big Rock beers, some slight malt notes, and a touch of roast, but meh, pretty boring.

Mar 30, 2008 Pours a clear dull amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma is extremely unpleasant - wood glue and dead underbrush. Tastes like a cheap amber ale, slight sudsy character, definite nutty taste too - that, at least, is redeeming. Peanut-butter aftertaste (some diacetyl here). Carbonation is good but the body is very thin. Drinkable, but it doesn’t deliver the chocolate & toasted character I expect from a brown ale.

4.5% ABV
I tried this beer on January 31, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a reddish-brown colour with a thin whitish head. The aroma was stale malt with a little bit of hops. The mouthfeel was medium-thin with high carbonation. The taste was grainy with no detectabe hops or malt.
