Hockley Valley Dark

Pours a deep burgundy brown with a huge tan head that leaves lots and lots of lacing. Nose is roasty with a hint of chocolate. Flavour is roasty and dark. A hint of coffee, and a tiny hint of bitter hops just as the finish starts. It is a little on the flat side, but it is not too watered down. Not a bad beer, it is pretty tasty.

Brown red tinted with medium tan creamy-looking head. Sweet malty aroma, kinderbier, dry fruitiness. Thin but soft palate, lacks substantiality. Would be nicer if bigger bodied. But nice flavors, dry, simple, straightforward, malty without being sweet. Decent.

Dark brown color with a low tan head. Rich, sweet, malty and fruity aroma. toffee, a bit of coffee. Sweet dark malt flavor, with molasses and caramel, some fruit, and little hops. Very pleasant and mild, with complex malts, fruit. Full-bodied.

473 ml can fromt the LCBO. Dark, lots of enjoyable flavors. One of my favorite local beers. I will definetly buy this again.

Pours a nice ruby brown with a quickly bubbly head. Aroma is dark roast, chocolate, nutty and some molasses. A little raisin and brandy type sweet alc tones as well. Flavour was surprisingly pleasant. Nutty medium roast malt flavour, some weak coffee tones, light burnt bitterness. Overall very drinkable, smooth yet enough flavour to justify buying.

Dark brown, clear, moderate head. Toasty, slightly burnt malt aroma. Flavours of darkly roasted malts, chocolate. Comes across as more of a schwarz style.

473 mL can from matt7215. Thanks! This is a brown ale? Huh. Wouldn’t have guessed when I tasted this during a Ratebeer site crash. Reddish brown pour with a medium frothy head. Grainy roasted malt aroma with hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste is very strong coffee with some grainy notes. A little thin but very pleasant.
