Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 27, 2008 Medium brown colour. Rich, thick head. Aroma is mainly metallic with a hint of roast. Light toastiness, fairly watery body, hints of chocolate. Purports to be an American Dark and that’s exactly what it delivers. JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Dec 2, 2007 Tap at C’est What? Deep amber beer with a very creamy white head. Fruity aroma of berries and light cherry/plums. Light nutty sweetness. Nutty malts and a lingering fruity finish. Not very lagerish to me. CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Feb 8, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a medium, tan head with a medium carbonated deep brown body. Nose of smoked caramel and porter. Flavours of sweet caramel malt, molasses, roasted almonds and biscuit. Texture is thin and fizzy. Not to my liking... Radek Kliber (3332), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 8, 2004 My beer left nice rings on glass. Appearance of black tea, rather quiet looking beer .Touch of vanilla and sweet toasted malts. Thin bodied, toffee, dark coffee. Thin short finish. Forgettable beer without character. Lubiere (3324), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Feb 5, 2006 Overcarbonated schwarz, dark clear browb, with a quickly collapsing head. Aroma of caramel and plums, not unpleasant. In mouth, rather sweet malt, with some smoked points in final, but rather thin and boring....not impressive, but not bad. Bottle from Mike H.
