Feb 1, 2006 Nice dark red pour. Not much head that fadded very quick. Nice body but watery. A cut above most marco brews. A good malty finish.

Jan 15, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown body topped with a diminishing beige foamy head. Decent malty aroma with light roasty and hoppy notes. Taste is rather thin and ends with a mild and short finish. Boring Schwarzbier.

Dec 17, 2005 On tap at Zazou Lounge, in Toronto. Sans éclat. Not memorable. Brown colour, not a lot of flavour.

Dec 12, 2005 A dark beer can be a very scary thought to some people… in this case, I can see why! Rancid butter and caramel in the nose. Clear dark brown body is topped by a huge, fluffy, off white head that recedes very slowly to a generous cover. Diacetyl overwhelms any positive flavours that may have once existed in this one. Watery and heavy in the mouth with carbonation that does not last at all. Sampled on tap at the Walper Hotel in Kitchener.

Sep 28, 2005 Bottle (341ml). Poured deep ruby with a very foamy-fizzy tan head. Aroma of burnished steel, sweet sort of roasted malt, I guess some hops under the metal. Taste is cardboard, grain, somewhat sour malt, maybe a hint of sour cherry hiding in there. Mouthfeel is a little brackish, almost chalky, hard to describe - there’s an odd metallic nature to this one that puts me off. What do these people think "dark" means, besides added colouring? FLAVOUR, folks - proper roast malt, ramped up hops - character, that’s what we want. *sigh*

Sep 24, 2005 On tap at Wayne Gretzky’s in Toronto. Dark brown with a tinh white head. Not much flavour, somewhat sweet and malty. I wouldn’t drink this one again.

Sep 23, 2005 A pretty good Canadain Craft beer, not as asertive as US crafts.
A true brown hue with light malty sweetness and a tiny hint of roast on the finish. Draft pour, poor head retention.
Easy drinking and tasty. The Description suggests a Schwartzbier, I think that is a stretch.
Cheers
