Really enjoyed this. Chocolate aromas with a full taste of nutty, coffee and malt. Short finish which is where it lacks but overall a very good Ontario beer.

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.

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.
