1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
500 mL can. Dark, with slight mocha head. Roasted nuts, caramel malts. Astringent motor fuel underneath... Boozy finish. Decently crafted, but really not my kind of beer.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Acheté à la SAQ de Rouyn-Noranda. My first sip, I said pretty descent one. Half the can, I said not that good. At the end of the can, I said yark what a bad beer.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2012 Can. Deep golden colour with a white head. Sweet carmale malty nose. Sweet malty flavour
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: OCT 2, 2011 Can. Nothing special. Higher abv, but other than that pretty nondescript and generic.

500ml can. Deep amber colour. Sweet, roasted malt and alcohol tastes. Low/medium carbonation.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gift from Southern Johnny.
Dark brown-black pour with big creamy head. Grassy / tim aroma.
Flavor was thin , watery with hints of roasr with a bitter / sweet malt finish.
I like my German beers, but this one fell a little short for me.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
50cl can into Chimay Trappist glass.
Aroma: This smells pretty nasty...woody, burnt plastic smells, black tea. Barley? Yep. Something weird about it too....but I don’t know what.
Appearance: Crystal clear dark red-brown, about the same colors you’d see on leaves in autumn. One finger off white head which stayed for about 5 minutes.
Taste: Honey, licorice, burnt wood, barley. At first it’s agreeable, but there’s one element that’s really off about it, but I don’t know what exactly, very much like the aroma.
Palate: It’s drinkable. Just kidding, it sucks, no character whatsoever. Full bodied? My ass. It’s better than the average can of piss, but it’s still in need of serious work. Get rid of that awkward, super sour aftertaste and it might be good.
Overall: Mostly shitty, BUT, it does have some flavor to it and it’s an eyeopener that reveals just how talented some brewers are. $2.50 a fucking can....oh well, at least I’ll get a buzz off of it and I had to torture myself with some bad beer someday...
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is a good dark lager for Lagerboys to branch out on.
Nice copper brown colour, medium bodied, some caramel and toffee, sticky sweet and roasty malts, very lightly hopped and effervescant.
A nice light bock.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Decent bright brown head and a nice amber body. Aroma is sweet malts, meaning it’s malts with a lot of adjuncts like sugar and rice glaring through. Taste is a pile of cloying sweetness with a brown sugar flavour - like really, they’re not even trying to be smart about all the fake crap they have thrown into this brew. Yet, if you like fake brews, this one is a pretty good example.
