Can. I saw a Holsten in Canada and thought yeah ill give it a try. So I was surprised by the style. Dark I say, should of read the can. Not to bad just too sweet for me. Skunky aroma. Rich flavour, hoppy,malt. Rich ale. Interesting though.

it has a slightly harsh but very flavourful nose that smells like burnt malt and sweetness. its appearance is actually very nice being very dark with a large brown head. it tastes like burnt grains, is pretty sweet and some unusual nut flavours. this beer is a high class style attempted on a budget and in its price/alcohol range it is alot better than boring pale lagers or malt liquors. the flavour of this is a bit harsh but at least one of the most interesting in the cheap beer category.

Can 500 ml - Dégusté avec french tickler
Biere de couleur rouille tres foncé, avec un bon collet moyennement collant. Odeur de bois sec, un peu fleural et alcohol. Gout un peu sucré , bananes, un peu épicés et des noix. Bonne biere en général.

Surprenant!, cette biere est tres foncée. Cependant elle sent pas grand chose. Coté gout, le petit coté Allemand se fait gouter avec une minime touche caramelisé, le tout sur un léger arriere gout d’ alchol dont on a pas besoin.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Looks nice, dark brown with red, nice thick head. Not much aroma. Cardboard with a bit of caramel malt, a touch of hops. thoroughly unappetizing. Drab flavor. dark malt, caramel, cardboard. This is crap. A beer for winos in Europe.

UPDATED: AUG 12, 2008 0.5 L can from Liquor Store. Malty and dark caramel nuts aroma is prevalent. Dark brown with red tinge and large foamy beige hed. Full bodied and with flavours of malts, caramel, burnt almonds??, and yeast. Litterally no carbonation. Far superior to Holsten pils.
