mnurda (434), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Jul 16, 2008 Bottled sample at some non descript place in toronto. Nothing memorable here. Probably would taste beetter with the right food. dkachur (2318), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jun 28, 2008 Yet another 473 mL can from matt7215. You rock! A little bit of a gusher. Ruby brown pour with a a large, frothy, quickly receding head. But, to catch the gushing I had to pour pretty vigorously. Nice lacing. Head has a nice... SOUND... snap, crackle, pop! Slightly bitter roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt taste with hints of coffee and soap. A little watery. hiphop (84), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 18, 2008 Deep ruby color, head went away quickly. Some roasted malt in the aroma but it was faint. Lighter malt flavor. Light to medium bodied. Not bad but could use a bit more flavor/aroma. wilderthanyou (410), Guelph, Ontario, Canada Jun 2, 2008 Pours as you would expect, a dark red brown, but with no head. The aroma is a bit metallic, some grassy notes, and light notes of play-doh. The flavour is malty, a bit of toffee and a play-doh finish....weird flavour.
Medium body. All and all, this beer has pretty weak game, but it’s not THAT bad. sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Apr 16, 2008 Tasted 4/15/08. 341ml bottle. Filtered with a dark brown hue with orange highlights. Ring of white head. Aroams of honey and toffee. Nutty aroams. Light to medium bodied with light effervescence. Meh... Illuminatus (87), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Apr 3, 2008 Six pack from the LCBO. Pours a dull brown, medium head. Flavour is a touch metallic, similar to a macrobrew with a touch more malt. Unimpressive. truebluehes (104), Tipton, Iowa, USA Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Not much aroma, fairly malty. Dark in color. Decent flavor, but not much too it. Little better than a macro lager, but tasted quite similar. Not much smoke and hardly overwhelming on malt. RyanMac13 (8), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada does not count Mar 11, 2008 Draught; Plesent aroma, very dark in colour (looks like coke), good flavour for a dark beer rookie (will not overwhelm anyone) but somewhat more bland then its appearence would lead you to believe. Overall, a solid choice.
