Commercial Description:
A dark beer can be a very scary thought to some people. Surprise, surprise. There's no other beer quite like Waterloo Dark, refreshingly light and delicate in taste but rich in colour. Don't be afraid of the dark. surprise yourself.

Poured dark with minimal tan head. Slight aroma of roasted malts which carries through to the initial taste. Some chocolate nuttiness also detected. Surprisingly finishes with no bitterness. A decent selection but not outstanding.

pours a nice darl caramel color. small tan head. Aroma is malt, with a really nice nutiness. Really nice carbonation, flavour is nutty, and malty, with a touch of frutiness. Nice and light, and quite refreshing.

Dark, sourish, true to its style but certainly not the best example of it. Quaffable but weak mouthfeel. Modest taste some chocolate malt.Spot of coffee and nuts, the latter like a brown. Even a hint of licorice. Reasonable carbonation. Malty but not cloying sweet.

Smells great, looks great but lacks in flavor and body. A disappointment to come home to after a riveting day in the office.

Rather fruity and estery for a non-fruity, non-estery style. Little in the way of roastiness.Just a refreshing non-descript beer I might have mistaken for a light-bodied dark English Ale. Doesn’t smell like much; aroma inoffensive.

Re evaluating this beer after hearing it was recently reformulated. The pour produced a decent dark cola colored lager with a rocky-sticky 2 finger cap that lasts well and laces the glass. Aromas are subtle: some cocoa and sweet bready tones light musty earthy yones. Medium bodied, fair malt spine, silken mouthfeel, and a more rounded toasy malt character than before. Up front the toasted dark Munich malts depart some cocoa sweetness that is quickly balanced by light pearl hop presence..mid palate there is more substance in the body with some dried fruit and nut notes and some light souring ...finish is clean and lightly drying with lingering bready aftertastes. This transition seems to have given Waterloo dark some dunkel characteristics as the hops have been slightly attenuated and the malts beefed up...a pleasant change.
