weitz15 (67), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Aug 18, 2009 Heavy appearance, but weak on the flavor. slight brown sugar taste, but this does not come close to other brown ales I have had. jonno (542), Brisbane, Australia Aug 6, 2009 Updated: Aug 7, 2009For a 4.4% beer produced by a major this is impressive stuff. A great sessionable dark beer with good malt presence. Nice mkel07 (494), Brisbane, Australia Apr 30, 2009 375ml. Dark ruby to black in colour with no head and only a smattering of tiny bubbles that quickly make tehri way to the edge of the glass and disappear. Looks very mush like a glass of cola. Deep aroma of chocolate, toffee and roasted malt, mildly aromatic and feels smooth in the mouth with a burnt wood smoke aftertaste. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA Apr 7, 2009 finally something other than a pale lager, but now its just a brown, mild taste, nothing standoutish, almost like a coffee ish end taste... Plamadude30k (122), Tucson, Arizona, USA Mar 12, 2009 Certainly better than the more commonly seen Toohey’s New, this beer still isn’t much to write home about. Refreshing and satisfying after a day in the hot sun, but that’s about it. Dervock (178), Emu plains, Australia Feb 22, 2009 Poured a nice foamy head with a dark body. Inital taste is a sweet caramel, but you can get a definate taste of the malt. A great session beer! zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA Jan 15, 2009 Purchased at the liquor store next to Coles in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Pours dark opaque brown, thin white head. Aroma is malty, smoky, and roasty. Flavor is the same, thins out, becomes watery, towards the end, but finishes with some earth-like pine qualities. TheGrandMaster (1846), Auckland, New Zealand Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Nose is slightly sweet, toasted malt. Over-carbonated, an unexciting but unoffensive roasted malt palate. Dryish, with a thin minerally finish.
