Oakes (10191) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 28, 2002
Chestnut colour; hop, toast, cocoa aroma; clean palate; good flavour development (similar to aroma), a little bit watery towads the end, but easy-drinking dunkel.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 31, 2007
Bottle at RBESG 2007. Amber colour. Pretty normal with thin malts. Not that great to be honest, but it couldn’t have been too bad as I gave it a goodish score.

Lubiere (6988) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 7, 2003
UPDATED: JUN 30, 2006 Brown/orangy in color. Nice hoppy nose (surprising for a lager), good balance between malt and hops (Saaz?). Heritage have atypically hoppy, resinous beers, which i wont complain as I am an inconditional of IPAs. However, if you did a blind tasting, I would never call that a Dunkel!!!For a local brewery, well done. 6-4-6-4-13
Same golden brown amber colour with a thick off white head. Aroma is much more fruity, with strong strawberry notes. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt, with oily mouthfeel and the same berryish qualities, a decent brew. Half a pint at the Cottage, June 30th, 2006. 7-4-6-3-13

MartinT (6350) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 22, 2004
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2005 Hoppy greenness converging with roasted malt metal...When fresh, grassy bitterness emerges as the winner, as the thin body cannot withstand its herbal weight, but with a little time the roastiness can topple the hops...A nice quaffer...

Sammy (6125) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 30, 2006
Light coffee darkish, lace in glass. Crowning head. Bit of chocolate malt aroma. Bit of taste though a lagerish one. Lower than average carbonation On the sweet side, very little bitterness. Summerhill LCBO Festival.
