COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pours a dark mahogany with a thin light-tan head. Toasty, lightly burnt dark caramel malty aroma. Body starts with a sweet sugary earthy caramel flavor turning slightly sticky toward a thinner lightly roasted finish.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2003 1 flavour: roasted malt. and lots of it. otherwise thin and watery and shitty. but if you imagine it's a rauchbier then it's almost ok. rerate: this is foul and pestilent. i should also apologise for originally adding this beer under "porter" two years ago, when I didn't know better - a few raters here are flinging shit at CUB that should be flung in my direction instead (well where else should it go? old ale? schwarzbier? we need a "bland industrial dark ale" style)

Another dismal product from CUB. Like a watered down version of a VB. No head at all. Just water with some chemicals and char.

On tap at the Phoenix. Urgh! Phlat, plah, yeuck! Unidimensional but strong charcoal flavour, no head, all wrapped up in typical CUB cigarette butts. Possible aftertaste of bong water?
