Feb 6, 2006 Dark brown beer topped by a creamy tan head. Very malty, plummy aroma. Light molasses, brown sugar, dried plums and prunes. A bit of floral noble hop aroma in back of the sweet malts. The maltiness smells more Belgian than German. Flavour is less malty than the aroma suggests. Fairly clean tasting, brown sugar, toasty finish. Pretty tasty. Thanks Tupalev.

May 15, 2002 Caramel and hints of port in the aroma. Brown, off-white frothy head, good lace. Light sweet, nice hops, could use more body. Bit roasted finish with some bitterness.

Mar 28, 2005 Thanks to tiggmtl for this one. Pours ruby with minimal white head. Aroma of malt, dark fruit, some spices. Tastes malty, with some corn flakes, sour hops, almonds, and cinnamon at the finish.

Nov 22, 2004 On tap at the Manx. Red copper wiht light off white head. Caramel aroma with a whiff of vanilla, and a light smokyness. Sweet malt , light fruitiness, oily mouthfeel, with a nutty bitterness in finale.

Nov 13, 2004 341 ml bottle. Clear dark copper, medium decaying tan head. Bright caramel, ligh wood in the nose...sweet mouthfeel, very smooth, light smoked herbal quality. Not bad at all, but a disappointment after the very good lager.

Nov 24, 2004 Caramel, dark fruit in the aroma. Almost opaque ruby toned mahogany colour with fizzy, off-white, fully-diminishing head - flat and oily appearance. Sweet malt up front with some dark fruit and a curious hint of banana. Roasty in the finish with fair hop bitterness also. Unfortunately flavour dies quickly and I found this less enjoyable with each sip. Light, still and a touch on the watery side. Bottle. Thanks, Lubiere.

Apr 25, 2004 Updated: Oct 31, 2004(2003 version) Like Creemore lager without cream. Some taste. Slight fruit and malt taste. Unpasteurized.
(2004 version) More German-like quality with less carbonation noticeable. Sweet, nicer brown colour. Same overall rating.

Dec 6, 2005 Draught. At Smokeless Joe. What’s the big deal with this stuff? I’ve had it 3 years in a row now, and everyone talks it up, but it’s thin, sour and completely forgettable. Pours clear mahogany with a thin off-white wispy head. Taste is chocolate-toffee licorice, some grain, burnt caramel malt - quite mild. Taste follows, a little sour and dishwatery - needs hops! - really has a burnt lingering taste. Mouthfeel thin but sticky - overall, a big fat ehhhh.
