| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | 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 | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. ILduce (133), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Smells malty but with a bit nutty (my nose was stuffy when i tried it though, could be way off). The colour is a nice ruby brown collur. The taste is chocolate, malt, and a bit of fruit. Very nice beer though. The palate is also pleasant RaphaelN (195), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

Taste is mildly of chocolate, roasted barley with the signature lager doughy taste. A fairly nice beer. I enjoyed this one. GRM (1254), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada
