COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Looks dark, tastes light. It’s Ontario’s favourite dark lager. A dark beer that is slowly brewed with Canadian grown malted barley, specialty coloured malts, imported hops and pure cultured brewers yeast. Dark lagers are enjoyed all year long, and they’re not as filling as ales. Waterloo Dark will cut some of the heaviness in sauce-based meat dishes. Waterloo Dark is an equally perfect beer to go with appetizers suitable for watching sports games, or used as an actual ingredient when preparing a meal. Experience what this great dark "light tasting" lager has to offer and why it has won multiple awards at the World Cup of Beer, Canadian Brewing Awards, Ontario Brewing Awards and the Monde Selection International Institute For Quality Selections.

Gooner (136) - Chatham, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 8, 2001

Very similar to Upper Canada Dark Ale, but a little lighter. Very dark colour, slight aftertaste, minimal head. Nutty with smokey wood flourishes.

QXSTER199 (9) - Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 3, 2001 does not count

Smooth, roasty lager that is a good session beer.

The smell was just awful and the body like I expected, short and sweet and not in a good way.

HighlanderOne (886) - Bergen County, New Jersey, USA - AUG 24, 2001

This stuff does smell terrible. The head disappears quickly, leaving this looking like a glass of Pepsi. In fact, it kinda tastes and feels like Pepsi. It’s drinkable though -- I’ll probably try mixing it with something else (since I bought a 12 pack). UPDATE - I tried a few more of these - from the same 12 pack - and they tasted much better and did not have that bad smell. So I guess this stuff varies from batch to batch.

Soothsayer99 (23) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 19, 2001

Too light for my taste, but it was on par in body and flavour (complexity, boldness) with other Canadian dark ales such as Upper Canada’s slightly less appealing version. Nice burnt, nutty, coffee flavour.

Light body, mild flavour with just a touch of dark malt/coffee flavour.
