Can - LCBO: Deep ruby brown body with a lasting eggshell head. Aroma: Nuts and some smoke & caramel. Flavour: Mmm, a bit of smoke, some definite bitterness with a small amount of malt, there is lasting malt finish however. Not a bad beer at all.

Sep 19, 2008 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.

Aug 5, 2008 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.

Jul 2, 2008 Dark brown, clear, moderate head. Toasty, slightly burnt malt aroma. Flavours of darkly roasted malts, chocolate. Comes across as more of a schwarz style.
