Old Tasting Notes. Drunk in Creston, BC, Canada: Nose has coffee and mince meat. Taste is smokey bacon with coffee and chocolate. Nice mix and surprisingly well-balanced. Finish is long with smoke.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
( From tasting notes dated 3/6/03)....had one of these in the Fernie hotel trekking to Vancouver on the #3....I wish this one was more widely available as it gave the best representation of a Munich dunkel we could get in Calgary before the OSB Dark was available. Poured a deep cola color with red highlights. Modest off white cap...Aroma was nearly all caramel malt with light wisps of willamette hops. Medium- light body, wet, smooth mouth feel. Toasty caramel up front, some coffee and walnut tones balanced by the NW nobles finishes faster than I’d like with a light malty sweet aftertaste.
This beer is still available occasionally in draft form made for specific events and customers who sell the draft under the house name.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2004 (Bottle) Probably the best beer thay don’t make anymore. Typical. Nice roasty flavor that is lighter than expected. Cleanly well brewed.

Aroma of malt, with a slight undertones of coffee and chocolate. Pours a very dark brown with a nice head. Quick pouring results in cascading effect. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy. Alcohol seems stronger and shows up at the end. Hops are not really evident.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is a strange lager,great first taste,malted,slightly burnt yet still mild,,gets a little tiring after 3,drink in very small batches,or switch to something sour in between beers.
4.3 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This is an excellent dark beer. Exceptional flavour, don’t know how it tastes after a few, but 1st was great.
